Eating out with Alannah

Alannah, who writes a food guide for The Local in Sweden, is currently in Malta "eating pastizzis and pasta":

During the past three weeks I’ve escaped the ‘on-off’ Scandinavian summer weather to spend my vacation in France, Germany and Malta enjoying bottles of Bordeaux wines in Parisian bistros, American-style dining at Disneyland Paris, bratwursts and sauerkraut in Germany and right now, pastizzis and pasta in Malta..

..And now, I’m enjoying the scorching heat in Malta where pasta joints and pizzerias and English breakfasts have taken over the local menus but you’ll still find the occasional local dish like rabbit stew here and there. Portions are big, prices are good and you’ll need to know a few locals to find the real hidden restaurant gems as for every excellent restaurant, there’s also a tourist trap!
