Maltese food is simple, seasonal, south Mediterranean fare, shaped by local ingredients such as fresh fish, island-grown olive oil, tasty plump tomatoes, onions, and lashings of garlic. Swordfish, tuna, bream, mullet, grouper, bass, octopus, and squid all feature seasonally on menus at the island’s restaurants, and***aljotta***(fish soup) is a popular choice, served with plenty of***ftira***(a round Maltese bread).
Other much-loved local dishes include***pastizzi***(savory pastries stuffed with spinach, ricotta cheese, or mushy peas), Gozo specialty***ġbejniet***(ewe’s cheese),bigilla(a pâté made from mashed broad beans and garlic),qarabali mimli(marrow stuffed with minced beef), and***bragioli***(beef slices stuffed with veal, herbs, and olives). Influenced by neighboring Sicily, baked pasta dishes such as***timpana***(macaroni and Bolognese sauce) and pizzas are also popular.
For dessert, indulge in***kannoli***(ricotta-filled pastry tubes),imqaret(deep-fried date pastries), or***halva***(a sweet made with crushed almonds).
Must-Do Experiences
