Malta Restaurants

This small, cozy restaurant is located right at the harbor in Marsalforn. There's outdoor seating in front or you can eat inside where the young Maltese owner and cook hangs his modern art on the walls. The food was delicious and artfully prepared. For lunch, we had bruschetta, fresh fish, and a thin-crusted Italian style pizza. There are lots of other meat and pasta dishes on the menu as well. The tasty red wine is made by the father himself who lived in New York for 13 years. The restaurant has a bistro feel with soft music playing in the background. The atmosphere is friendly and informal. Attention to detail is apparent in everything about this restaurant. Best of all, the prices are very reasonable. With so few restaurants to chose from in this part of Gozo, here is a great restaurant that you should not miss.

Rampila is situated close to the city gate of valletta, opposite St John's Cavalier. The place is definitley authentic. Its main dining room is in a tunnel which apparently was bulit at the time of the knights of St John. The overall feeling is cozy and initimate. According to me though, nothing beats its lovely terrace which is actually embedded in the bastions giving a great view. The food was well presented, fresh and tasty. What makes this place so special?? Its historical feeling and an exhibition featuring a historical presentation of the maltese villages. Well done!!

Favorite Dish: seafood pasta. A lovely plate of pasta with octopus, clams, prawns and mussels.

If you are happy to put up with slow service, mediocre food and an ill-kempt and ill-tempered patron, you may like “Tarragon”.
If you would like to be served by staff who know how to filet a fish, can recommend a matching wine and who want you to have a pleasant evening in this disproportionally expensive restaurant, go elsewhere.

Favorite Dish: Do not eat fish, as the staff do not know how to filet or serve it.

A late-night restaurant of eclectic tastes.
Not particularly excellent but enjoyable enough and the food is as natural as you can get.
Cheap as chips and reminds me of my student days, only now it is Yuppy country. A room is given over to an Art gallery.
I shall not comment on the displayed art.
The place is easy to miss. It is a normal house which once was an oven. So the name: Il-Forn (The Oven).
I would have enjoyed it more if the smell from the Pigeon Avery on the adjoining roof did not mix smells with my food and service was not confined to only 1 waiter and 1 waitress. I hope the cook was not the artist.
8/10 for the food and the location.

Favorite Dish: Ftira: a flat, stiff bread filled with everything under God's sun.

I have been here before but not with this wonderful French inspired cuisine.
The 3 rd floor overlooks Spinola Bay through wide open windows.
The decor is simple and pleasant and an air of sophistication is in evidence.
Service is discreet and unobtrusive.
Food is tasty and simple with local flavours mixed in with freshest sea-food.
Pricey but very enjoyable. Enough for it to be my first restaurant on my return.

Favorite Dish: No dish is special in its own way but it is the taste and freshness that pleases my eyes and stomach.
I tried fish, Squid and pate' and sorbets.
All had the same care.

Paparazzi Pizzeria

Actually named Paparazzi Restaurant but the name is a little presumptuous.

Reasonable food.
Expectable price.
Large portions.
Quality reasonable.
What it lacked in quality it made up in quantity and speed of service was comforting.
The view is excellent sitting half way up the hill on St. George street overlooking Spinola bay.
Traffic is unbelievably heavy but a pay car-park is on top of the hill and 300 metres to the left on the same road.
I would call this a medium priced place in which one could spend a pleasant evening with friends.
Go for the view.

Favorite Dish: My mixed fish platter looked great but taste disappointing but then again the price I paid was miniscule.

We had lunch in this restaurant when in Rabat, the food was so-so - everything was served in the same white wine sauce, not bad but rather bland. The restaurant obviously caters for groups. A few minutes after we arrived a coachful of elderly tourists poured in, there was chaos and noise and the service was slow. We hardly swallowed the last bite and were rushing out into the street. It was an awful experince.
