A thousand flavours
Central to life in Malta is its cuisine.
The numerous cultures who inhabited the islands have influenced the local cuisine, meaning that wherever you dine, you’ll have the flavours of the Mediterranean present.
The Maltese cook’s ability to coax flavour out of the most ordinary of meat cuts is legendary. This, combined with the use of the freshest ingredients imaginable makes for a much-coveted cuisine.
Some dishes you might like to look out for include ‘Ħobż biż-żejt’ (Bread with oil and rubbed beefsteak tomatoes), ‘Pastizzi’ (Pastries filled with ricotta or mushy peas) and ‘Stuffat’ (Stew).
The islands are also a paradise for wine lovers, with a number of wineries offering tastings of their award-winning produce.
