In this blog we will be sharing with you some traditional Maltese food. Will also mention both food and sweets Here it goes:
- Pastizzi: This is a traditional savory pastry, normally filled with ricotta or peas. Nowadays, some - what are called - Pastizzi shops also sell them filled with chicken or Nutella. Pastry very much like the Greek phyllo pastry.
- Maltese bread: Having a hard and crunchy crust on the outside and soft and fluffy white bread from the inside. Tastes nothing like a normal loaf of bread.
- Rabbit: Rabbit is most popularly served as fried (sometimes with spaghetti with tomato sauce and peas) or as a stew (Stuffat tal-Fenek). You can try this traditional food in one of the local gems - Razzett l-Antik in Qormi. This restaurant was back in the days a farm house which was transformed into a restaurant yet still kept the stunning features and architecture of a Farm House - for example the court yard.
- Fish: Since you will be visiting an island we guess that it is a must to try the fish. For the best fish around you should go to Marsaxlokk at Cafe du Paris - mostly you should try the octopus there. Two spices of fish we suggest to try is Lampuki and locally caught swardfish.
Location: Xatt is-Sajjieda, Marsaxlokk (Cafe Du Paris)
