An excellent bakery, open since the 1930s, selling traditional ftira (Maltese bread) and pizza, freshly baked in a bread oven and with a wide range of toppings. It also serves craft beer from Gozo, and there are a few seats nearby to enjoy an outdoor feast. Good luck keeping your Gozitan sausage from the friendly dogs often mooching around.
