TASTE MALTA: NENU THE ARTISAN BAKER

OH, THE FOOD! THE FOOD! YOU SIMPLY CAN’T LEAVE MALTA WITHOUT VISITING THE RESTAURANT OFFERING THE BEST OF LOCAL CUISINE. THERE’S ONE RESTAURANT IN WHICH YOU CAN LITERALLY TASTE MALTA – NENU’S RESTAURANT, NENU THE ARTISAN BAKER IN THE CAPITAL, VALLETTA, OR AT THE VILLAGE CORE OF MĠARR.

Local Dining

The restaurant, both in Valletta and Mġarr, offers diners a vast range of local cuisine, along with local beer, soft drinks, and liquors.

Some of the most popular local dishes include blistered octopus, brown meagre, fish soup, caponata, seasonal fish, and many others. Nenu’s have also recently launched a few set menus, giving customers the opportunity to try out many different local flavours in one meal.

“You simply have to visit Nenu before leaving Malta. It’s a must!”

That’s what Tara said in her review on Tripadvisor. We urge you to consider paying a visit and, quite literally, enjoy the taste of Malta. Over a thousand reviews declared the restaurant unmissable and the best as regards local cuisine.

Nenu

Carmel Debono, affectionately known as Nenu, wanted to create a complete Maltese dining experience. A baker by profession, Nenu’s lifestyle revolved around the passion for Maltese bread, which is central to any local dish.

Back in the days, Maltese families used to take their homemade dishes to the local baker, to have them baked in a traditional oven.

The resulting mouth-watering taste is legendary, so much so that the few remaining traditional bakers still offer this service. Nenu’s restaurant offers the same style of cooking, thus guaranteeing that unique delicious taste you will enjoy.
