Revealing The Mediterranean Sectrets Of Malta

Malta is a beautiful archipelago nestled in the heart of the Mediterranean. It has a long and rich history and its culinary heritage reflects all the cultural influences the country has experienced. Maltese cuisine is a perfect fusion of Italian, African and Mediterranean flavors.


Set your foot in the charming streets of Valletta, Mdina, and the fishing villages to listen to Mediterranean stories hidden in the culinary gems of Malta. Start with trying traditional Maltese dishes like Fenek (rabbit stew) and Pastizzi (flaky pastries filled with ricotta or peas) to savor the culinary legend of the islands.


Seafood is a cornerstone of Maltese cuisine, as the surrounding Mediterranean waters provide an abundance of fresh fish and shellfish. Local Lampuki Pie (fish pie) is a must-try. Enjoy the diversity of fresh grilled fish seasoned with local herbs and olive oil.


Bread is a significant part of Maltese dining culture. Ħobża tal-Malti and Ħobż biż-żejt bread are the basics. Bread rubbed with ripe tomatoes and topped with capers, olives, and anchovies is a traditional Maltese snack.


The influence of Italian cuisine has resulted in the popularity of pasta dishes, such as Ravjul (ravioli)filled with local cheeses and herbs, with a unique Maltese touch.


For those with a sweet tooth, we recommend local sweet treats like Kannoli (tube-shaped pastry filled with ricotta) or Helwa tat-Tork with honey and nuts.
