Gran Malabar

Adri

This is a small bar right in the center of the city, on a street that is basically just for taxis and buses: I would be surprise if in this area you will find a parking spot even if you use a moped! We can’t go back to Trieste as much as we’d like, but we do stop here every time we’re there! To order you can go inside, or you can do it through a window on the busy sidewalk. You can enjoy your drink (they offer full bar) inside at the counter (there is no room for tables) or by sitting at one of the few high tables outside: they are a great spot to relax and people watching! They have a great selection of wines, and every drink is accompanied by a few small tapas. The staff is great and prices are decent. I look forward to going back!

Friendly welcoming staff and a good selection of wines by the glass with accompanying small plates. It appears to be a very local place where many customers are greeted by name but we felt just as welcome and received excellent service.

A nice little spot to enjoy a drink. We sat inside, but there was a seating area outside. Our wines were delicious and very reasonably priced. The bar man also gave us a side plate of bread, cheese and prosciutto to pair with your wines. Also a wide variety of wines and other drinks to choose from.

What appears to be a very local bar but with friendly welcoming efficient English speaking staff. Great choice of wines by the glass (in particular their whites) from nearby regions and tidbits at decent prices which made the whole experience most gratifying. Tqvm

It’s a very small bar, but one of my favorite stops in Trieste. Located in Piazza San Giovanni, it is very close to Piazza Goldoni, a main hub for buses and it’s in downtown so easy to walk to from wherever you are in the city. They also have a window you can order wine at (yeah, think Little Havana in Miami, only here you order very good wine instead of empanadas) and some tables outside where you can sit, sip your wine and do a little people watching. Nice place to chill after a long walk in the city; they have very good wines, price are reasonable and they always give you a little complementary food with your glass, a couple of slices of salami or prosciutto or whatever they have. Sometimes when I am back in Trieste, I sit there, outside, enjoy 2 glasses of wine and let memories of my many years spent in my hometown occupy my mind.

It's a lovely bar and if the weather is nice there's plenty outdoor seating. Service is excellent!

If only we were in Trieste longer so we could sample more of the wine list. A wonderful selection of local and wider Italian wines. Perfect place for aperitivo and extremely good value.
