Ftira bread in Valletta costs €2–4 plain from bakeries or €4–7 topped at cafes. Ftira is a sourdough flatbread unique to Malta — especially associated with Gozo island, where ftira Għawdxija is considered the finest version. In Valletta, bakeries sell plain ftira for €2–3, perfect for tearing apart with local cheeses and sundried tomatoes. Topped versions at cafes come with traditional toppings: tomato paste, capers, olives, onions, and local peppered cheese (ġbejniet). This is essentially Malta's answer to focaccia, though distinctly different in texture — denser, chewier, with a pronounced sourdough tang. For the best ftira experience, take a day trip to Gozo where dedicated ftira bakeries produce it in wood-fired ovens.
