Malta and Gozo, together with little Comino - this archipelago, in the middle of the Mediterranean is known throughout the world for its beauty and serenity and rich culture and traditions, making it a popular vacation resort and attraction for many.

Maltese cuisine draws its influence from Italy, northern Africa and Britain. Most restaurants in resort areas like Sliema cater largely to English tourists, offering pub grub like meat and three veg or bangers and mash, and you have to go a little out of the way to find 'real' Maltese food. Island's specialities are Italian/Sicilian or Moorish in origin, alos including rabbit (fenek) and small savory pastries known as pastizzi.

True Maltese food is simple yet delicious, largely comprising of fish and vegetables. Thus one would find staples like soppa ta' l-armla (widow's soup), made by mashing the vegetables available in the season and is cooked in a thick tomato stock. Also, arjoli - a julienne of spiced up and oiled vegetables, with butter beans, a puree made from broadbeans and herbs called bigilla, and whatever other delicacies are available, like Maltese sausages or gbejniet (simple cheeselets made from goats' milk and rennet, served either fresh, dried or peppered). By the end of summer, don't forget to try out fried lampuki (dolphin fish) in tomato and caper sauce. One must also try to have a bite of hobz biz-zejt made from leavened Maltese bread, cut into thick chunks, or else baked unleavened (ftira, from the Arabic root for flat), and served well in oil. The bread is then spread with a thick layer of strong tomato paste, and topped (or filled) with olives tuna, sun-dried tomatoes, capers, and the optional arjoli.
