Being an island rich in produce, with a sea brimming with delicious seafood, and recipes dating back to old times, food and drink are the very essence of the Maltese community.
Whether you feel like a quick bite or are in the mood for an exquisite 7-course tasting menu, or anything in-between, the Maltese Islands got you covered!
Rabbit Stew, Bragjoli; thin beef fillet wraps with various stuffings, and widow’s soup, which includes a gbejna; a type of goat cheese are all dishes we recommend you try. One of the restaurants which we recommend for a Maltese feast is Diar il-Bniet in Dingli. Maltese love their food, and they are constantly snacking throughout the day. We suggest that you try the popular hobz biz-zejt; Maltese bread dipped in olive oil and rubbed with tomatoes and in some cases with a mix of tuna, onion and capers and also pastizzi, which are flaky pockets of pastry filled with ricotta or peas. These snacks can be found almost in all the localities across the islands, and they are a cheap and cheerful meal in themselves.
