This tiny bakery on strait street makes traditional ftira bread that locals have been eating for centuries its like focaccia but denser topped with tomatoes olives capers and local cheese around €4-6 for generous portion

The bread is baked fresh multiple times daily and the toppings are simple but perfect much more authentic than the tourist sandwiches elsewhere opens early for breakfast and stays busy with locals until afternoon trust me when you see the queue of maltese people you know its good

Honestly this is proper maltese food not the watered down hotel versions the owner actually speaks maltese with the customers which tells you everything
