Located on pretty St Lucy’s Street in Valletta, Sunday in Scotland – a luxury artisan chocolate shop and boutique café – is the latest global brand to start its story in Malta. And last week, the gorgeous shop opened its doors for its official launch, revealing the many wonders within (we’re still having dreams about it!)

With its striking blue and gold-mirrored façade, Sunday in Scotland stands out among the quaint shops and bars that line this stepped-street in Valletta. And it has been noticed: already fans are calling it an artistic ‘gem’ in the city – and we couldn’t agree more.

Behind the innovative concept is Amer Wahoud – who recently chose to make Malta his home and open the business here – and international hotelier Gordon Campbell Gray. And if you’re wondering about the name, it all makes perfect sense. “The concept behind Sunday in Scotland was conceived on a summer afternoon in the Scottish highlands, and is reminiscent of the Sundays of our childhood – a magical time for dreaming, unwinding, and, of course, indulging in life’s finest treats,” Amer explained at the launch.

The passionate chocolatier set out to develop a new and refined chocolate concept, and with this in mind, Sunday in Scotland presents an array of flavours to please every palate – be it a classic chocolate or praline tart, a fruity lemon or mixed berry cake, or a scrumptious caramel, honey or marzipan dessert. And after personally tasting as many of these as possible at the launch event – purely for research purposes – I can safely say that the talented people here really know what they’re doing!

Their menu also offers a selection of other treats, including flans, chocolate, biscuits and pastries, all of which are homemade and can be enjoyed indoors in the uniquely stylish surroundings of this boutique café, or out on St Lucy’s steps as you watch the world go by.

The artisan chocolates – including Sunday in Scotland’s signature Original Maltese Falcon sculpture – are also a perfect gift that can be taken-away in the most beautiful packaging. We can’t think of a gift that would be better received by the chocolate lovers in your life!

Sunday in Scotland’s unique chocolates and pastries are proudly made in Malta using the finest ingredients – all meticulously sourced and turned into one-of-a-kind products. Oh, and the beautiful venue is also a fantastic reason to visit, making for the ideal destination for any occasion – whether it’s a morning coffee, afternoon tea or an evening party (wine or champagne chocolate pairing anyone?)
