Malta Food Festival
Festival
A celebration of Maltese cuisine, which blends Italian, North African and British influences shaped by the island's layered history.
7 NOV
Valletta, Malta
Malta's cuisine reflects the island's genuinely unusual history — a small Mediterranean nation that's passed through Phoenician, Arab, Norman, Spanish, French and British hands, each leaving a mark on the local food. This festival celebrates that blend, with dishes like rabbit stew, pastizzi and ftira served throughout Valletta.
Local producers of Maltese wine, honey and cheese round out the festival, offering a genuine introduction to a food culture that's often overlooked in favour of its larger Mediterranean neighbours.
