What’s Cooking at Tac-Canti? Dig into Authentic Maltese Flavours!
2 September, 2024 | Alex Teoli
If there’s one town in Malta synonymous with Maltese cuisine, it’s Mgarr. The town itself is like a walk through yesteryear, with its Parish church dominating the skyline overlooking traditional townhouses, villas and sprawling countryside.
While modern developments and multi-storey apartments are present, its isolation and remoteness from other towns has left it relatively unscathed.
And if you’re after bold flavours, rustic charm and a Maltese diniing experience that's as authentic as it gets, Tac-Canti is the place you want to be.
Authentic Maltese Dishes at Tac-Canti
Tac-Canti is all about real Maltese food, cooked up by the owner Simon and his two sons Clyde and Charlton Micallef. If you’re in the mood for hearty rabbit stew, grilled horsemeat, or even something adventurous like snails or quail, this is the place.
And seriously, you can't go without trying their fenkata—a traditional rabbit feast that’s basically a Maltese staple. The portions are generous, whether you’re digging into a beef stew or one of their juicy grilled meats.
Wash It Down with Marsovin or Delicata Wines
To make the whole experience even better, pair your meal with some local wine. Tac-Canti has a great selection from Marsovin and Delicata, Malta’s top wineries. Whether you like a rich red or a crisp white, these wines go perfectly with the bold flavors of the food.
A Village Gem Worth Visiting
Honestly, whether you’re from here or just visiting, Tac-Canti’s warm, family vibe and real Maltese flavors make it a must-visit. It’s right next to Mgarr’s beautiful parish church, and the whole place feels like a little piece of Malta’s food culture.Be sure to book your spot to avoid disappointment by calling them on 2157 9496.
