Lokomotif Kafé
At Lokomotif Kafé in Zebbug you get the best dinner. They only have four tables and the menu changes daily. We had gnocci with beetroot and pasta with fresh truffle, delicious.

Fontanelle Tea Garden
Surrounded by a beautiful town wall, lies the ancient town of Mdina. Within the walls, the buildings made of Maltese yellow limestone and decorated with small porcelain figurines, is a striking sight. Fontanelle Tea Garden serves the tastiest cakes and iced coffee, with a view overlooking all of Malta.

Valletta

When in Valletta you must go and see the impressive churches and stroll around the small streets where you’ll find lots of small restaurants waiting to give, you your next culinary experience.
In the Upper Barack Gardens there are pretty fountains and beautiful sea views.

 

Reading recommendations

I have spent the holidays reading and The Inseparable by Simone De Beauvoir. The little novel is a gem of a tale from 1910s Paris, about Simone de Beauvoir's friendship with her childhood friend Zaza.
