Mġarr ix-Xini Restaurant

Victoria

Mġarr ix-Xini is one of those extraordinary restaurants that feels like a genuine secret — hidden at the end of a dramatic valley road leading to one of Gozo's most beautiful and secluded sea inlets. The restaurant has become legendary among those in the know for its exceptional fresh seafood, particularly the fried calamari, which many consider the finest in all of Malta and Gozo. The spectacularly scenic location, with crystal-clear Mediterranean waters lapping the shore just outside the restaurant, elevates every meal into something truly extraordinary. A pilgrimage-worthy destination for serious seafood lovers visiting the island of Gozo.

Oleander Restaurant Gozo

Victoria

The Oleander Restaurant in the village of Xagħra, near the ancient Ggantija megalithic temples, is a Gozo dining institution beloved for its deeply authentic Gozitan home cooking and genuinely warm family hospitality. The rabbit dishes here — slow-cooked in red wine with garlic and local herbs — are widely regarded as some of the finest on the island, and the other traditional Maltese and Gozitan specialities are equally satisfying and beautifully honest. The charming rustic village setting, the gentle unhurried pace, and the unfailingly friendly service make Oleander the perfect embodiment of what makes dining in Gozo so special. Highly recommended.

Il-Kartell Restaurant

Victoria

Il-Kartell is one of Gozo's most cherished dining institutions — a warm, family-run seafood restaurant situated right by the sea at Marsalforn, the island's liveliest coastal village. The restaurant's outstanding reputation has been built on decades of serving the freshest local catch prepared according to traditional Gozitan and Maltese recipes. The octopus dishes are legendary, the grilled fish is impeccably fresh, and the Gozitan touches — local cheeses, home-made bread, capers from the island — make every meal feel genuinely authentic. Il-Kartell is the kind of place that makes you want to stay in Gozo just a little bit longer. A true island treasure.

Ta' Frenc Restaurant

Victoria

Ta' Frenc is the jewel of Gozo's restaurant scene and one of the finest dining establishments across the entire Maltese archipelago. Set within a magnificently restored traditional Gozitan farmhouse surrounded by peaceful countryside, the restaurant's setting alone is worth the ferry crossing from Malta. The kitchen blends traditional Maltese flavours with contemporary European technique and a strong focus on the freshest local produce — Gozitan gbejniet cheese, locally caught fish, honey from island apiaries, and herbs from the restaurant's own garden. Ta' Frenc is listed in the Michelin Guide and remains the absolute benchmark for special dining on Gozo.
