A staple snack food of Malta is the Pastizzi. This is like an English Pasty, a light pastry shell holding a filling of either cheese or peas.
We'd had pastizzis many times before in other cafes around Malta and also Qassata, a bigger more crusty version, but the ones here beat them all for price and for taste.
We bought our lunch at The Paramount and I was sure we'd been undercharged - for 4 pastizzis and 2 bottles of coke we just didn't seem to have paid enough. Anyway, the pastizzis were SO delicious (the best!) that I went back for some more and found they were only 6 Maltese cents each. That's like 9p in England, and you can't buy bubblegum for that price. Amazing value and amazingly good too. We'll be back there again.

One of the things that attracted us to Paola so much was its tree-ringed oval "square" with the art deco looking Paramount Kiosk inside it.
These kiosks are a feature of Maltese society and provide food and drink by day and night, and at night become a focal point for friendly social gatherings (= outdoor drinking).
Favorite Dish: Pastizzis!

Paola - Rahal Gdid (The New Village)
What can I say about Paola ? There is so little to say and yet there is so much - there is the unique hypogeum as it is a under burial chamber (more than one) - 3 floors down beneath ground level...
