Ħelu: A Sweet Finish, the Maltese Way

An evening at Gozitan, St Julian’s

Fried pastries, dates and ħelwa tat-tork. The Maltese sweet course is simple, generous and steeped in tradition.

No Maltese meal ends without something sweet. The traditional dessert is generous and unfussy: a platter of fried Maltese pastries, dates and ħelwa tat-tork, the sesame sweet found across the islands.

The right way to finish

It is the kind of ending that suits a long, slow meal, something to share over the last of the wine and a coffee. Simple, generous and genuine, just like everything else we serve.

A sweet finish is not an afterthought. It is part of the tradition.
