Seven Awesome Places To Eat In Attard
Attard, the quiet heart of Malta. Even though it is so central, Malta’s summer heat tends to send tourists and locals to the coastal towns, meaning little Attard is never overcrowded. Apart from the occasional motorcade leading to or from the Presidential palace, Attard maintains its low-key vibe year-round; and its hidden gems are left largely un-mined. Here are some top-spots in Malta’s inland underdog:
1. Cafe Santa Lucia
Santa Lucia’s desserts are absolutely top-notch, maybe the best in Malta, with people often traveling from all over the island to get a taste. This is any Attardian’s numero uno coffee shop stop.
2. Saracino’s Café
Saracino’s is a legitimate contender for the best pizza in Malta. This restaurant is located just beside Attard’s parish Church, and offers guests a variety of Mediterranean food options from pasta dishes to steaks, salads, and sandwiches. As almost everything is walking-distance in Attard, you can stroll from Saracino’s to our next stop in under a minute.
3. Jalie’s Coffee Cakes and Bakes
