Hi there,
I recently went on a 2-day trip to Malta! I loved it there and want to go back soon! Hardly saw much but went on a lovely cruise around the comino islands. It was a last minute decision to join my friends on holiday there but didn't have much money to make it a longer trip. Anyway, aside from that, I was quite disappointed in the choice of vegan foods, or vegan friendly places to eat there. The hotel breakfast was do-able. I had toast without butter, with jam and marmalade, an apple, some beans and tomatoes and a black tea. Wasn't too fussed about that but the rest of the trip was highly disappointing. The first night I tried some pasta where we were staying in st Pauls Bay, in a little cafe. The staff were very friendly and they changed a tuna dish into a veggie dish for me, but it was so bland it tasted like it came out of a tin. Next day on the cruise, we stopped off for lunch and I managed to find a veggie burger on a burger stall, which was great. The evening came and again I was so disappointed, we went to a chinese restaurant near the sea front, I ordered the only vegan friendly option they had which was sweet and sour fried potatoes and a side of steamed rice. At first I wanted to try a rice noodle dish but the waiter had trouble understanding what I meant; ''you want rice and noodle?'' so I gave up on that. The potatoes were shredded and drenched in oil and tasted anything but sweet or sour. I have a feeling veganism is pretty uncommon in Malta, but I did a little googling and found there are a couple of restaurants catering to vegetarians, but does anyone know if there are specifically any vegan ones? Or at least restaurants with a wide choice in vegan options on the menu. I know the holiday wasn't well planned out so I'm sure there are probably some hidden gems in Malta for us Vegans. I am so eager to go back to Malta as I fell in love with the country but don't want to end up with the same experience with food again! Really wanted to try some traditional maltese dishes, or something other than a veggie burger I can get anywhere! Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.
