Anaalā Valletta
Regional Thai cuisine expressed through bold flavours and a journey through the regions of Thailand, served as a sharing menu in a rooftop setting.
A Contemporary Thai Expression
Anaalā Valletta is a vibrant interpretation of Thai cuisine, shaped by bold flavour, harmonious balance, and refined technique.
With a prime position atop Iniala's beautiful Solis building, the restaurant offers a more relaxed rhythm of dining, where dishes are guided by seasonality and a deep understanding of texture, spice, and harmony. With views across the Valletta skyline and the Grand Harbour, guests can dine beneath the stars, surrounded by the energy and beauty of the city.
Under the direction of chef Ian Kittichai, traditional foundations are reinterpreted with precision and clarity through a regional approach to Thai cuisine. Each evening celebrates a different region of Thailand through a sharing menu, travelling from the northern mountains to the southern coast and central plains, bringing together the distinctive flavours, ingredients, and traditions of each part of the country.
As the menus change, so does the journey—inviting guests to return and discover a different side of Thailand with each visit.
About the Chef
Ian Kittichai
A globally recognised chef and restaurateur, Ian Kittichai’s approach is defined by precision, balance, and a deep understanding of Thai culinary tradition.
Kittichai began his culinary journey selling food from a cart on the streets of Bangkok. From those early beginnings, he trained across England, Australia, France, Spain, Japan, and the United States.
His philosophy centres on flavour as structure, layering spice, texture, and aroma to create dishes that feel both vibrant and precise. Drawing on classical techniques and regional influences, his cuisine honours tradition without being bound by it. At Anaalā Malta, this philosophy comes to life through menus shaped by seasonality, ingredient integrity, and a thoughtful reimagining of Thai cooking.
The result is a dining experience shaped by a clear culinary identity, expressive, purposeful, and wholly its own.
