How Charles & Ron Transformed Café Culture in Malta
Discover the story behind Malta’s most fashionable food experience.
When fashion meets food, something magical happens. Charles and Ron, the iconic Maltese design duo known for bold prints and a love affair with local culture, have channelled their creative energy from the runway into the dining scene. The result is more than a café. It is a curated space where Mediterranean flavour, design, and lifestyle come together.
A Natural Evolution of the Brand
For years, Charles and Ron have proudly represented Maltese fashion on the international stage. Their collections celebrate local heritage, architecture, and colour. An expressive take on island identity with a modern edge. The café concept brings that identity to life in a new and delicious way.
Food has always played a part in their brand story. Creating a space that reflects their signature aesthetic while offering an elevated food experience felt like the next step. And so, the Charles and Ron Café was born.
Whether you are sipping a caramel latte under a custom mural or enjoying a focaccia layered with feta and sun-dried tomatoes, every detail is intentional. This is not just dining. It is a lifestyle.
Designed to Delight, in Every Sense
Just like their fashion, the cafés are bold, expressive, and full of personality. The Valletta location offers an artistic escape in the heart of the city, while Naxxar brings a slower, more relaxed rhythm to the brand’s signature flair.
From mood lighting to editorial photography, each space feels more like a set than a typical café. And the menu? It follows suit. Mediterranean flavours take centre stage, with playful combinations and seasonal ingredients guiding every dish.
Think truffle pinsa topped with rocket and parmesan. Crispy duck bao buns. Focaccia filled with feta and honey. This is food, fashionably done.
Not Just a Meal, but a Mood
The café shifts throughout the day. Mornings invite early risers and breakfast lovers with vibrant plates and fresh coffee. Afternoons welcome creative catch-ups and iced lattes. As the sun sets, the space transforms into an intimate, stylish hangout for drinks and shared dishes.
It is the kind of place where locals, creatives, visitors, and friends come together. This was the vision all along, to create a space that feels inspiring and social. Somewhere to pause, connect, and feel just a little more fabulous.
What’s Next?
The café has already become staples in Malta’s food and fashion scene. A new opening in Valletta, seasonal menus launch and more creative experiences unfold, the connection between style and flavour will only grow stronger.
Food can be as expressive as fashion. At Charles and Ron Café, that belief is brought to life every single day.
