In a recent decision, the National Planning Authority has refused to grant a restaurant permit to Gourmet Kafe, a popular café located in the heart of Valletta. Despite its reputation for serving high-quality food and beverages, the café’s application to operate as a full-fledged restaurant was denied in 2023. This ruling has significant implications for the café’s operations, as it will be restricted to its current designation as a café.
The Planning Authority’s decision is likely to be closely scrutinized by local business owners and residents, who may be concerned about the potential impact on the city’s culinary scene and economy. As the situation unfolds, it remains to be seen whether Gourmet Kafe will appeal the decision or explore alternative options to expand its offerings.
