Il-Kartell Restaurant

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.
