There is a range of street food stalls around the ground floor: Mexican cuisine, Napoli Pizza, ‘Pasta Affair’, ‘Merkanti’ Maltese street food, ‘Pinoy’ Philippines street food, ‘The Wild Poke’ serving Japanese & Hawaiian inspired poke bowls and appetisers such as edamame and seaweed, Indian cuisine, ‘The Dragon’ Chinese cuisine, kebabs/ skewers/falafel from Konak, ice cream, chocolate and crepes from ‘Venchi’, and ‘The Burger Room’ burger bar. Most meals are around the €10 euro mark.

After telling her that we are one family with kids she replied that she does not care and walked off! What a behavior and attitude is that?! Also the toilets on the ground floor were in a disgusting state yesterday. We tried to go to the one for women and men but it was impossible! The smell was disgusting! There was toilet paper everywhere on the floor and the floor were soaking wet (whatever it was…). So we went to a public toilet in Valletta because they’ve been in a better state.. We spend quite some time and money in the market place during the last couple of years since they opened but yesterday was our last visit for sure! Can’t be...
