Dining Out, Restaurants in Malta
Whatever cuisine of the Maltese Islands you want to try, rest assured that there are all types of food served in a whole host of different restaurants around Malta and Gozo. Steak, fish, pasta, even ‘Maltese Rabbit’ & other specialities & delicacies…whatever you want to try while on holiday, you’re sure to find it locally. Eating out is very reasonably priced, as are wines and beverages, & some of the best restaurants in Malta are in some of the most unexpected locations. Wines from local vineyards are particularly popular. Many restaurants even have an outdoor terrace if you prefer your meal ‘al fresco’. Take a look at the very varied selection below and remember you can contact any of them for further details or specific requirements. Please let us know about you’re dining out experiences in any of these restaurants in Malta & Gozo because your feedback is always valuable.
