All links will take you to the Google Maps location of highlighted place.
Is-Serkin, the most famous pasitizzi place in Malta. Open 24 hours. Cheese or peas pastizzi are the most common, and the cheapest €0.50.
Chez Eman, will make a very good ftira for you. You can put anything you want in it, but a traditional one will have tomato paste, tomatoes, olives, capers, tuna (if you don't eat tuna you can ask for one without), and the Maltese ġbejna cheese.
Ta' Futti, very authentic, local, Rabbit-eating place. Only open in the evenings.
Yana's, very highly-rated restaurant. Guests frequently give me good feedback for eating here.
L'Enoteca, very well-liked restaurant.
The following 3 restaurants are all located next to each other and have, for multiple times, been mentioned in the Michelin Guide as noteworthy places to eat at.
Coogi's Tea Garden, my favourite place in Mdina. Has two courtyards, a terrace with the view we saw on the tour. I like the food, setting, and service here.
The Confession. Church-themed cocktail bar!
