The Maltese have pastizzi for breakfast and we will let you decide whether you like the pea or ricotta ones better.
A nice bottle of local beer at one of the Valletta clubs to wash down the ftira with.
We get to try the cooked infused Maltese coffee with chicory, cloves and aniseed.
We get to taste the local bitter sweet drink, Kinnie.
We end our morning having some nice ftira lunchtime bread which we traditionally fill with tuna chunks, tomato conserve, onions, capers, olives and other Mediterranean produce.

5.00We joined a food tour that started in the morning at the Triton Fountain and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our time in Malta. From the very beginning, the experience felt well-organised and welcoming, setting the tone for a relaxed and enjoyable start to the day. As we walked through Valletta, it was great to hear about the history along the way, which really added to the overall experience. We had the chance to try a great variety of local food and drinks throughout the tour, so definitely come hungry, there’s a lot to sample! Everything felt fresh, authentic, and thoughtfully chosen. The tour is absolutely worth the money for the experience. Our guide, Romina, was friendly, knowledgeable, and kept the atmosphere fun throughout, making it easy to engage and fully enjoy each part of the experience. It was not just about the food, but also about discovering Malta in a more personal and memorable way. Overall, a fantastic experience and something we’d highly recommend to anyone wanting to explore local dishes and culture beyond the usual restaurant setting.
Informative and enjoyable.

5.00Great way to find out about some of the main sights in Valetta whilst also enjoying a variety of local food. As a solo traveller it was also a nice way to meet up with other travellers from all over the world and share the fun of trying different food and drink and sharing the experience. Our lovely guide was very informative and amusing making this trip memorable.
