We joined an English-speaking Anglican service in Sliema, at
Holy Trinity. In comparison with many ostentation churches in Europe, and even
Malta, the sincere simplicity of this place was welcome. The people were also
welcoming!
In Valletta, we visited the Anglican Cathedral, which was
not too ornate. The restaurant under the church provided a delicious meal and
cool air temperatures! I’m not sure if a
reservation is needed in the Cathedral undercroft restaurant. I will mention the places that I would return to for more excellent fare, but not every place we had a meal.
Then, the most astonishing array of gold I ever saw in St.
John’s Co-Cathedral. It felt odd to walk on top of burial chambers with ornate
stone inlay, and that "more important" people were located closer to the
front of the Sanctuary. But my favorite church is yet to come (another day)!
This may be the simplest food photo I’ve ever taken, but I
will strive for years to replicate this recipe. Wait, does Gourmet magazine
still try to obtain restaurant secrets for readers? No? What, Gourmet is no more? Anyway, please make a
reservation at Legligin in Valletta, though you may not get the cold gazpacho soup
when you are there. You get what you get, and it was scrumptious. The 5 course
tasting menu left us all stuffed, and unable to imagine squeezing in 7 courses (the other choice).
Dessert wasn’t included, but the outstanding mussels more than made up for it.
You can see the family style service, and nary a drop of soup remaining- except the seconds I was about to demolish!
