Not surprising given how generic some restaurants’ menus are becoming lately…
Jekk ibbazaw fuq restaurants ma nehodix bi kbira … hawn tajbin imma hawn hafna kollox frizat, specjalment jekk ikunu xi post turistiku, u jzommulilek daqs li kieku frisk. Wahdiet jiguni f’mohhi restaurants fejn l-ikel vera spikka.
Seems to be based on the local cuisine, Malta is the only country in the EU with no food registered as local.
Any survey which says that Sweden has better cuisine than Malta is not worth looking at me says.
Yeah there is no way that our cuisine is worse than Finland’s.
If this is a ranking of restaurant food, then it is another story. I feel like the value for money when dining out has reduced significantly over the last few years, especially in the Sliema / St.Julians areas where 12-14 euro for a plate of average pasta has become the norm. Quality, freshness of ingredients, price, and portion sizes are all worse than they used to be just 3 years ago.
Not sure why people are mentioning restaurants, this map is about cuisines
Considering li taw rating ahjar lil ingilterra u pajjizi nordici.. ma tantx tista tiehdu bis serjeta dan is survey.
Probably my old aunt cooked something while the survey was taking place. Her cooking is evil, otherwise she’s the sweetest lady you can meet.
In all honesty with the Bulgarian, Macedonian and Turkish cuisines being quasi-indistinguishable, I am surprised by the variation.
I am not sure what aspect of food this survey is about, ie being healthy? tasty? …?
Home cooking I don’t think so. A rich selection to choose from. If based on restaurants it’s possible but compared to Mediterranean in general, maybe more a question of perception.
If they eliminated all food considered Italian and so on, you are not left with much that is unique to Malta.
Im one who hates and complains about everything on this forsaken rock but hey…not food! Its actually one of the few good things we have left!
Fish n chips ahjar mil pastizzi u té? Innnnzabab 🤣
With all due respect, whoever thinks british cuisine is better than Maltese cuisine must be smoking some top tier shit.
heq le ghal bicca burger 20 euros jekk trida tajba.
Malta kathdro bi arbia ?
It’s unfair because tourists are unadventurous; whoever they surveyed for these results are probably unlikely to be gastronomical enthusiasts with a varied palate. Especially if England is ranking so highly (unless they consider other countries’ cuisine to be English like Indian curries and Chinese food).

Morocco 🇲🇦 Malta
Commercial kitchen technician here. Nearly all the maltese traditional food restaurants have foreign chefs i gurantee you that half of them are muslim, our food involves pork so tell how these chefs are tasting the food while being prepared?
Can someone explain in English please?
Malta’s language is very similar to north africans dialects, aghar was the only word I didnt understand
The data needs to be examined closer- seems like hogwash. Maltese food is an amalgamation of all of the ideas flowing through the Med channeled through the scarcity / and abundance that traditionally came from Malta and Gozo. Eggs, Cheese, fresh fruit and Veggies, still wiggling fresh fish, pasta a hundred ways- I think Maltese cuisines lacks respect only because people are not aware of it or there is an similar Italian/North African/ Turkish/ Arabic version of the same recipe that is better known.
This is the same thing that rated America food over Thai.
I think we’re fine and they have no sense of taste
Very realistic and unbiased survey. The british food osnt even their own food, but they are higher than us.
I think it’s xenophobia and Italian cuisine is overrated
4.18 for England? Ok…
Iva ta
Extremely unscientific and unreliable “survey”. Just go to the website and see how scores were given to each country, and the selection criteria.
Ma jurix Afrika ta fuq. Grecja Franza u Italja naf zgur li aħjar. Biss biss hemm ħafna regjuni b’ togħmiet u tradizzjonijiet rikki
Also, Germany has one of the most boring cuisines and I would NEVER rate it so high, I would give it MAXIMUM 4.
Also Bulgaria is insultingly downrated. I mean it won the most favourite salads in europe ([https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/658-bulgarian-salad-voted-europes-favourite-food/](https://bigthink.com/strange-maps/658-bulgarian-salad-voted-europes-favourite-food/)) and it has an amazing diversity (times better and times tastier than Germany, I am willing to die on this hill).
