Fuwamai brings a taste of Tokyo’s trendiest dessert to the sunny streets of St Julian’s. Specialising in ultra-fluffy, soufflé-style Japanese pancakes, this spot is pure indulgence with a side of spectacle. Each pancake is whipped, flipped, and jiggle-tested to perfection – with toppings like milk chocolate and hazelnuts, white chocolate with pistachios, and seasonal ricotta with Mgarr strawberries. Watching them prepare each pancake is part of the magic. But patience is key – queues are common and wait times can stretch, especially on weekends. With no indoor seating, you’ll want to grab and go (ideally to the nearby beach). Just don’t wait too long – these pillowy beauties are best eaten fresh while they still bounce!
