Brunch is the perfect solution to waking up too late for breakfast but being too hungry to wait for lunch. There’s something about having a meal in the middle of the morning that gives off absolute holiday vibes, whether it’s poached eggs or something a little more alternative.
Brunch spots have been popping up all over the island in the recent years, so we reached out to GuideMeMalta.com readers for some recommendations:
Danny’s
This spot on one of Malta’s busiest roads in Imrieħel claims to have ‘a chef in a snack bar’, and taste of the food at Danny’s attests to that.
Crust
Crust is a popular spot in St Julian’s which boasts divine donuts stuffed with Nutella and Kinder Bueno – enough said.
Two Buoys
If you’re into brunch hopping, just down the road from Crust is Two Buoys: an Australian-owned and themed brunch restaurant that serves poached eggs on waffles instead of the traditional English muffin, while making them look (and taste) equally delicious.
