Vegan Guide to Malta

Since we both eat plant-based, whenever we visit a new country we are always searching for the best vegan options. In Malta we found it pretty easy to find vegan food overall. The local food is not necessarily vegan, but there are certain local dips and side dishes that are naturally vegan. We found a lot of places all over the country with vegan options and didn’t have trouble finding vegan food at all (as long as you did your research!). We didn’t see many up-to-date vegan guides when we were planning our trip so we wanted to make one to make it easier for other vegans & plant-based people to find options while in Malta!
