Description

Stroll down the streets of Valletta and sample delicious foods to your heart's content. On this private, guided walking tour, visit historic eateries in the midst of Valletta's landmarks. Enrich your culinary experience of signature classics with beverages as you learn about Maltese food culture. Begin your tour at the Triton Fountain or at the Grand Harbour's Cruise Terminal. Once you've met your guide, head into the charming city of Valletta. Your first foray into the Maltese palate will include pastizzi, savory puff pastries with ricotta or curried pea filling. Next, partake in a Maltese coffee and discover the beverage's role in historical revolts. Then, feel like one of Malta's Grand Masters as you're invited to taste a selection of original chocolates with unique, local infusions. Continue your tour as you wander past beautiful architecture and nibble on imqaret, or traditional date-filled pastries named for their diamond shape and fried to perfection. Stop for a bite to eat at the historic restaurant next to Manoel Theatre, considered to be the third-oldest working theatre in Europe. Here, take a taste of the Maltese version of ravioli and wash it down with a local beer. For the next course, enjoy the rich flavors of rabbit, a classic Maltese dish, paired with a glass of wine. Once you've eaten your fill, continue your walk and explore the city. After your explorations, sip on a refreshing spritz in the Maltese fashion and with an added twist unique to Valletta. To complete your culinary journey, sample from a charcuterie board and more drinks at your final stop. Your tour concludes at the final location if you are staying in Malta, or when your guide escorts you back to the Grand Harbour.
