Il-Ftira Ghawdxija

The bread is baked to perfection in a firewood oven and is topped with veggies like tomatoes, potatoes, and sheep's cheese. You will get more options concerning the toppings, so opt for the ones you like.
Imqaret
Want to witness the 'sweet' side of Malta? Well, bite into Imqaret, a fried traditional pastry filled with a mixture of date paste and authentic Maltese honey, sometimes served with ice cream. This dessert is quite famous among the locals and you will find it on the menus of bakeries, food carts, and street markets big or small.
Cannoli
Cannoli is crispy and shaped like a little tube of deliciousness. It is a small (measuring only nine to 20 cm) sweet made with fried dough pastry and filled with creamy ricotta. At many places, you will also find them topped with various ingredients such as chocolate chips, fruits, and pistachios. Widely available across the country, locals relish it any time of the day.
