Get ready to celebrate Pancake Day in style - here's our pick of the best pancakes on the Maltese Islands, so, um, what are you waiting for?!
Debbie's Cafe, Mellieha
A mecca for all breakfast fiends in Nortern Mellieha, Debbie's Cafe offers a host of goodies for the most important meal of the day, and is one of the few places on the island to truly excel at Brunch. Today, one of their offerings will steal the show: their famous pancakes! From American style pancakes served with crispy bacon and maple syrup to Debbie’s special breakfast pancakes, start your day as you mean to live it: with gusto. Open from 8am to 5pm. For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
Becky's Cafe, Naxxar
With Pancake Day falling so close to Valentine's, Becky's Cafe in Naxxar has taken it upon themselves to celebrate both feasts in style: by creating the Valentine's Pancake! You can even have their signature pancakes delivered to your loved one - they are whizzing around the island from 10am to 4pm or from 7pm to 10pm to satisfy all our pancake urges. Now there's absolutely no excuse to hold back. Get your orders in early though - you don't want to be disappointed! For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
Shoreditch Bar & Kitchen, Paceville
Since this place opened a few years ago, it has become legendary for the attention and care they give to each and every dish. Their pancakes and burgers frequently top Malta's Best Eats lists and the small cafe has quite the cult following. If you drool when watching Guy's Diners, Drive-ins and Dives, this is definitely the place for you. And, today, they will be offering both sweet and savoury pancakes - so you don't need to have a sweet tooth to dig in! They're also open till 10pm, so you can head down there even if you've had a long day. For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
Molly’s Café, Mosta
Molly’s Café takes their pancakes seriously. They take their time with their mixes and recipes to give you a pancake to remember. From the Valentine’s Day pancake, consisting of Belgian dark chocolate poured over a stack of two special chocolate pancakes and served with strawberries dipped in chocolate, to the Blueberry Bliss, a concoction made of two stacks of lemon and ricotta pancakes with hot blueberry compote poured over. Can we have both? Open from 9:30am to 8pm. For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
U Bistro, St Julians
An all-time favourite, U Bistro specialises in healthy, home-made fare (if your home were run by someone who had time and knew the value of choosing the right produce). Their maple syrup pancakes are a breakfast favourite, but today is the all-day pancake day, so no one is going to blink if you order a portion at noon, or 3pm or 8pm. Open from 10am to 11pm. For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
Kreperee, Bugibba
This corner outlet in the tourist area of Bugibba may not specialise in the thick American pancakes usually associated with Pancake day, but they go one better: they have lots and lots of choice. Savoury, sweet and everything in between, this place has something for every mood, whatever the time of day. And if you do fancy something with more bite, try their gooey waffles! Open from 10am to 11:30pm. For more information, including directions check out their Facebook page.
