Review of Cafe Malta by TexasRealFood
"South Austin has always lacked an upscale restaurant and cafe Malta tries to fill that niche". You will be "pleasantly surprised with this hidden South Austin gem" with a "beautiful interior". "Really small inside so" make "a reservation" especially "for a busy Friday night". They have "excellent service", "the ambience is good", and the "food is wonderful". Their "menu accommodates most tastes and dietary restrictions/choices". You will "love the Mediterranean variety on this menu and its rotating seasonal options too". Their "Brisket ravioli is delicious". You should also try their "Bistro (grilled marinated steak) and Champignon (crimini & oyster mushrooms, caramelized onion, goat cheese & fresh herbs baked in a flaky pastry)". "The gnocchi" is "exquisite and perfectly creamy". "Coffee" is "great too" and their "bar service is great with happy hour prices". "Great cocktails and great dessert too" such as the "cheesecake with pistachio crumbles" which is "excellent". And, "wine selection is great and diverse". Since "prices are reasonable", "very affordable" with "great value", you "will be back for sure". Just "make reservations" because "this place stays packed!"
