In the central region of Malta, just north of Valletta, is the popular town of St Julians, where you’ll find Manouche Craft Bakery. The food here is nothing short of perfection and for first-class patisserie desserts you certainly won’t be disappointed. The bakery uses nothing but natural products and organic grains, and insists that all ingredients, which change with the season, are ethically purchased.

Ik weet niet of ze Frans verstaan of spreken bij Manouche, maar de menukaart vol Franse lekkernijen ziet er al uitnodigend uit. Denk aan french toast (zie bovenstaande foto), granola bowls, eiergerechten, croissants en veel zoetigheden voor een zogeheten afternoon tea, of gewoon als extra bij het ontbijt. De prijzen zijn redelijk vergelijkbaar met Nederland, dus een ontbijt bij Manouche is wel duurder dan Maltese ftira.

When you find yourself wandering the quaint streets of Malta, in search of a delightful spot to kickstart your day, look no further than Manouche Craft Bakery & Bistro. Known for its artisanal allure, this locally cherished bistro offers an array of savoury breakfast treats that cater to every palate. As you step inside, the warm, rustic ambiance of a craft bakery envelops you, setting a scene of comfort and quality.

Unlike the Manouche Bakery in Valletta, the one in Sliema is quite small and does not have a real sitting area except for a bench in front of it. And yet, it is a great place to buy a delicious slice of cake or a different sweet treat. I highly recommend getting your cake in a to-go box and eating it at Sliema’s oceanfront promenade or on your hotel balcony.

The perfect combination of Maltese and French cuisine makes the dishes seamless. I have never eaten a salmon better than the one prepared here (I even want to specify that salmon is smoked and prepared by them). Honestly, it has nothing to do with what I have eaten so far and I have tried it in various ways because it is my favorite fish.

If you’re in the mood for a more casual dining experience, Manouche Craft Bakery & Bistro is a fantastic choice. This bistro combines a bakery and restaurant, offering everything from freshly baked pastries to hearty meals. The relaxed atmosphere makes it a great spot for breakfast, brunch, or a laid-back dinner.

Manouche is a great place for a good cup of coffee (their coffee is supplied by Lot61) and also for a dine in. If you want your cup of coffee with a great dessert you have come to the right place. Our favourites are the chocolate swirl dessert and the honeycomb chocolate.

Manouche is a French Bakery and bistro that knows all about high-quality food. Looking at their social media, I am always amazed by the delicious baked goods and dishes they post. It all started with a bistro in St. Julian’s in 2017.

What They Offer: With a focus on quality ingredients, Manouche offers freshly made meals that range from hearty salads to wholesome grain bowls. Their menu features several healthy options that are also kid-approved.

At Manouche there are a handful of healthy food options and a large amount of tasty (but not so healthy) options. It is located close to Lot Sixty One in case you want a great coffee before or after your meal.

At Manouche, we’re bringing back the simple, uncompromised art of French technique, combined with cleverly sourced ingredients and passion for our craft.
