Itinerary

1. Upper Barrakka Gardens

   A Maltese classic and the undisputed king of street food: Pastizzi! These warm, flaky pastries are filled with either ricotta or curried peas. Found in every corner of Malta, pastizzi are delicious, satisfying, and surprisingly addictive.

2. Co-cathédrale Saint-Jean

   Try the Imqarrun (at lunch) or the Ravjul (at dinner), different kinds of maltese pasta, made in restaurants that follow the traditional homemade recipes.

   · 1 h

3. Bigilla with Galletti: This rich and garlicky broad bean dip is served with galletti, the iconic Maltese crackers. It’s a beloved local appetizer and a staple at social gatherings—and an essential part of any food tour. Enjoy your drink of choice between the Cisk beer and the Kinnie soft drink.

4. Grand Master's Palace

   A sweet street food treat! Imqaret are deep-fried date-filled pastries with hints of citrus and spice. Crisp on the outside and gooey on the inside, they offer a warm taste of the island’s Arabic heritage in every bite.
