Malta has become a very cosmopolitan little nation that boasts the opportunity to dine on cuisine hailing from all around the world. While this is good in itself, it does make it difficult for some to decipher what are the authentic Maltese delicacies, that the Maltese themselves have grown up with and enjoy in their local communities today.
Any trip to Malta is not quite complete without sampling some of Malta’s age-old treats such as pastizzi (from the famous Serkin, aka ‘Crystal Palace’), Qagħaq tal-għasel (Malta’s oldest and most traditional dessert, and hobz Malti (the delicious freshly baked Maltese bread from a traditional bakery). There is no better place to savour these and other snacks than in the ancient city of Mdina and its surrounds. Here you can enjoy this tantalizing fare in the most traditional Maltese setting. Your guide knows the best places to try each, from an easy to miss Maltese bakery to arguably the best patisserie on the islands. If that weren’t enough, you will experience the grandeur that is Mdina and its marvellous architecture.
