Mint

Sliema, St Julian’s & Paceville


This chic New Zealand–owned cafe provides laid-back Kiwi-style and home cooking. Its food is smashing, with some really sumptuous snacks – quesadilla, vegan stew, savoury muffins, and delicious homemade cakes and cookies. Fresh juices and smoothies are a touch of antipodean healthy eating, and the lamb sausage roll with harissa provides tasty balance. There's outdoor seating under minty-green sunshades.
