Nenu the Artisan Baker

Valletta


Often the answer when you ask a local, 'What's the best place to try ftira?', Nenu's decades-old wood-fired oven turns out a dizzying selection of Malta's traditional pizza-like, baked flatbreads. Olives, capers, cheeses and meats all feature. The menu also strays deliciously into other Maltese classics. As weekends are busy with local families, try and visit on a weekday.
