![]() There is also a baked, pizza-like variety of ftira which we sadly didn’t get to try. Both were sourdough and very light and airy on the inside. The round loaf was crustier on the outside. We tried two types of Maltese bread: a simple round loaf and ftira. Ftira is ring-shaped. Malta Pastizzi is located at 57 Merchants Street Maltese bread We can vouch for the quality and the friendliness of the people who work there. We tried versions with spinach and mushy peas (and definitely preferred the former).īoth these pastries are great for breakfast or as a snack any time of day. A popular, easy to find place to eat them in Valletta is a small stand near the Valletta Food Market called Malta Pastizzi. This Maltese pastry is made with a short crust instead of phyllo, so the container for the filling is heavier and more filling. You should also try the pastizzi’s heartier friend the qassatat. The other traditional version is with mushy peas. We only tried the simplest ones stuffed with cheese, but they come in different varieties. Don’t be fooled, though it looks quite delicate, it’s filling. Flaky phyllo dough is folded into this pretty treat. It’s not just delicious, but it’s also a thing of beauty. If we lived in Valletta, or visited often enough, we’d hope to become locals there too.įrytto is located at 143 Old Bakery Street Throughout our stay in Valletta, every evening we walked by this place it was always bustling with small groups of people who seemed like locals hanging out at their table outside enjoying a snack or a coffee or a chat. Our piping hot bolognese and ham and cheese rice balls hit the spot. It’s run by an older couple who (from their smiles) seem to love what they do, frying up arancini balls to order and serving other Italian specialties. It’s an unassuming spot on the corner of Old Bakery and Archbishop Streets (and happened to be a block from where we were staying). ![]() We stumbled upon Frytto when we were looking for a snack upon arrival in Valletta. Valletta Food Market is located at Triq il-Merkanti Frytto The pastas we got were interesting and tasty and did its job well. There, you can choose from quite a few options and watch the staff make it to order. But one night we wanted pasta, and wanted pasta to take away, so we went to Impasta. We wandered around the market many times during our visit trying to decide what to taste. There are a whole bunch of food stalls to try at Is-Suq Tal-Belt (Valletta Food Market). Just another reason to return!Ħ7 Kapitali is located at 67 Old Bakery Street Impasta at Is-Suq Tal-Belt (Valletta Food Market) We had hoped to follow in the footsteps of these bloggers in checking out even more craft beer bars in Malta, but Sarah getting sick made that a bit difficult. Everyone who worked there was very nice and helpful in choosing beers to try. They also have a fridge of unique cans and bottles that you can drink in-house or take away. ![]() They have a great selection including several Lord Chambray (a Maltese brewery) beers on tap. If you don’t want to eat super late, we recommend making a reservation in advance.Īaron’s Kitchen is located at 107 Archbishop Street 67 KapitaliĦ7 Kapitali does serve food, and it looked quite good, but we went for its craft beer. Our mains were quite good too (although we probably didn’t need them after the platter): a vegetarian risotto for Justin and grilled tuna for Sarah. Everything on it was delicious from the sausage to the pastizzi. We indulged in a platter of Maltese foods to start. We were lucky to get a table at Aaron’s Kitchen our first night in Valletta (a Saturday). Trattoria Romana Zero Sei is located at 75 Old Theatre Street Aaron’s Kitchen They also let us take away the food so Sarah could eat it in her PJs. We have nothing to compare it to, but it was absolutely delicious, and just as good (if not better) than pasta we’ve had in Italy. A sign out front claimed they had the best carbonara in Malta, so that’s what we tried. Zero Sei is a cozy trattoria serving hearty Roman fare. Soul Food is located at 76 Merchants Street Trattoria Romana Zero Sei We also tried their smoothies which were more like juice, but definitely satisfying. Their homemade flatbread was also especially tasty. We especially enjoyed their veggie bowls, which as you can see were bright and beautiful and extremely delicious. We ate outside both times, but they do have indoor seating. They have a convenient, centrally located corner spot on one of the main pedestrian streets in the city. Soul Food serves both healthy and less healthy food. Our favorite restaurant in Valletta was a place we went for lunch… twice.
