Il-Wileg Gozo

Victoria

Il-Wileg is one of Gozo's most cherished and authentic farmhouse restaurants — a rustic, characterful dining experience set in a beautifully converted rural property surrounded by the rolling Gozitan countryside. The restaurant's name means 'the willow' in Maltese, reflecting its pastoral roots and the deep connection to the land that drives the kitchen's approach. The menu is a celebration of the finest Gozitan and Maltese culinary traditions — slow-cooked rabbit, fresh fish, stuffed vegetables, locally made cheeses, and seasonal vegetable dishes — all prepared with genuine love and respect for the island's extraordinary agricultural heritage. An unmissable experience for any visitor to Gozo.

Marsalforn Waterfront Café

Positioned beautifully along the Marsalforn bay promenade, the café offers stunning views across the rocky Gozitan coastline and the shimmering Mediterranean beyond. The menu is simple and honest — Gozitan pastizzi, freshly made sandwiches, seasonal salads, gelato, and excellent coffee — but everything is prepared with care and served with the warm, unhurried hospitality that defines the Gozitan way of life. An ideal pause during a day of exploring Gozo's beautiful north coast.
