	Caffe' Portomaso Overview This is one of those places that you can visit every week and never need to take the same thing twice. The amount of mouth watering snacks, cold and hot drinks available are somewhat overwhelming. Caffe' Portomaso is situated just under the Portomaso Business Tower, Malta’s tallest high rise and adjacent to the Hilton hotel. The place is open from 08.30am right until 11.00pm and sees a steady flow of tourists and locals throughout the whole day. The cafe has a contemporary design and is ideal both for a coffee in the morning while reading the paper and a satisfying snack for lunch while browsing the net thanks to the free Wi-Fi network provided. Seating areas are both indoor for a more comfy atmosphere and outdoor on the terrace’s wicker furniture to enjoy the fine weather. The snack menu varies from baguettes to homemade soups to pizza and pasta dishes. As a cold snack you could go for the Maltese ftira (bread) with chicken, gammon and chutney...a local favourite. Hot snacks include a variety of pies freshly prepared and displayed. If you are after something lighter than the Avocado & Prawn Salad should tickle your fancy. The pizza menu is comprehensive with over twelve different toppings to choose from. Try the Indiavolata if you like your food spicy. Apart from being an ideal place for a snack, Caffe' Portomaso is also popular with customers to meet over a hot drink or a dessert. Decadent thick hot chocolate can be taken in sixteen (yes, sixteen) different flavours...mint, hazelnut, orange & cinnamon, coconut, gianduia and others. Not to be outdone, the desserts department offers over twenty options of cakes and ice-creams. From a traditional apple tart to Italian specialities like the Mille Foglie and Tiramisu, from a simple nocciola ice cream to a more exotic Notte all’Avana (vanilla ice-cream surrounded by coffee chocolate, rum drops and grains of meringue). Caffe' Portomaso also serves a variety of teas and herbal teas and is well stock with alcoholic drinks for the evening patrons.
