Malta’s capital delivers authentic dining experiences without the tourist traps. Smart travelers skip the waterfront tourist spots and head inland, where family-run restaurants serve hearty Maltese specialties at reasonable prices. The best food tours combine local cuisine with cultural insights – we especially like the evening walking tours that include wine tastings and stops at historic cellar restaurants.
Small-group sunset cruises offer good value, pairing traditional dishes with coastal views and live entertainment. These boat tours are worth booking ahead, especially during peak season.
