Rabbit stew (stuffat tal-fenek) in Valletta costs €12–18 at local restaurants — this is Malta's undisputed national dish. Slow-cooked in red wine, garlic, and tomatoes, rabbit has been central to Maltese cuisine since the Knights of St John tried to ban peasants from hunting it (which only made it more popular). Fenkata — a communal rabbit feast — remains a Sunday family tradition. Restaurants in Marsaxlokk fishing village and Rabat serve more authentic versions than Valletta's tourist restaurants, where the dish costs €16–25. The best restaurant versions feature rabbit three ways: spaghetti in rabbit sauce as a first course, then stewed rabbit, followed by fried rabbit. This full fenkata experience costs €20–30 per person. Valletta restaurants on Republic Street and near the Grand Harbour charge the highest prices; side-street trattorias offer the same quality for €12–16.
