A little flashback from my short trip to Malta. I would like to share with you few pics from this amazing and typical Malta place which is Diar il-Bniet and wonderful time we’ve spent there.

We started our afternoon lunch with a Maltese specialty, a dish called Ravjul bil-ġbejniet minn tagħna that consists of stuffed raviolis filled with Maltese sheep’s cheese and covered in a red sauce.

We stopped for lunch at a family-run farm and restaurant called Diar il-Bniet where our guide Clive introduced us properly to Maltese cuisine, and particularly memorably for me, the country’s signature dish: rabbit.

Make sure you’ve worked up an appetite for a lunch-time feast at Diar il-Bniet, they will try and fatten you up. Everything is produced locally and the menu changes seasonally, with fresh fruit and vegetables selected daily from their very own fields.

There was no better choice than grab a full frame camera Sony Alpha 99 and 2 lenses: Minolta AF 50mm f/1.7 and Tamron SP 90mm f/2.8 Di Macro. As the evolved BIONZ processor gives the α99 model a maximum sensitivity range, we could use high ISO (500-800) and focus on details with natural midday light.

The Malta Chamber of Commerce Enterprise and Industry restaurant design series celebrating local eateries with an eye for décor looks at restaurant and farm shop Diar il-Bniet in Dingli, which subscribes to that old Maltese proverb, ‘l-ewwel ma tiekol, l-għajn’.
