A new MICHELIN Star shines in the Malta selection

  • 5 new restaurants make their entrance in the MICHELIN Guide Malta 2023
  • One new restaurant receives a MICHELIN Star, the other 5 retain their distinction

The MICHELIN Guide is today revealing the new 2023 selection for its Malta edition.

The Maltese archipelago can therefore be proud of hosting 5 new restaurants in this tasty selection, as well as a new restaurant that has been awarded the famous MICHELIN Star: Fernandõ Gastrotheque. The 5 restaurants already awarded Stars last year retain their high culinary level, making Malta a gastronomic destination that is still as attractive as ever.

“For this fourth MICHELIN Guide Malta selection, we are very proud to welcome a new restaurant to the large family of MICHELIN Stars,” commented Gwendal Poullennec, International Directeur of the MICHELIN Guides. “The development of the Maltese culinary scene is extremely exciting, with the selection of an additional 5 new restaurants that take their inspiration from the Mediterranean region, yet without holding back on the occasional touch of fusion to surprise and delight gourmets. Whether for its UNESCO designated heritage, its status as a Mediterranean crossroads, its ancient history or its colorful and joyful cuisine, Malta has everything needed to seduce travelers.”

A new MICHELIN Star in the 2023 selection

Fernandõ Gastrotheque - Sliema

A small quiet bistro in French style which is informal yet elegant, with contemporary furnishings. The highly talented chef here creates Mediterranean dishes with the occasional international touch and plenty of character, all prepared from the best seasonal ingredients. The wine list is worth a mention, featuring over 600 labels from across the globe with a particular emphasis on France and Italy.

5 new restaurants make their entrance in the MICHELIN Guide Malta 2023 selection

Giuseppi's– Naxxar

Facing the sea on Malta’s Sirens coast. They serve South American fusion cuisine and the atmosphere here is relaxed and inviting with a contemporary vibe. A good choice of pre-dinner delicious cocktails is also available.

LOA – St Paul's Bay

Facing the sea on Malta’s Sirens coast. They serve South American fusion cuisine and the atmosphere here is relaxed and inviting with a contemporary vibe. A good choice of pre-dinner delicious cocktails is also available.

Grotto Tavern – Rabat

Boasting an excellent location in the historic centre of Rabat.  The Mediterranean cuisine pays tribute to local ingredients such as snails, cheese and other delicacies from the region. Dining in the stunning cave room is a wonderful experience.

Legligin – Valletta

This small, rustic restaurant in the historic centre has limited space and a vaguely bohemian feel thanks to its informal tables, ceramics and candles.  Home-made cuisine full of Mediterranean and Maltese flavours takes pride of place here, with just one tasting menu that changes almost every day.

Rosamì  – St Julian's

Overlooking St. Julian’s bay, Rosamì is a beautiful Maltese-style villa that is home to a classic, gently elegant and decidedly romantic restaurant. Their proposals are characterized by modern ideas with international flavors by chef Cliff Borg and an extremely high attention to wine pairing and personalized aperitif.

The full restaurant selection for Malta is available free of charge on the MICHELIN Guide website and app. They'll join the MICHELIN Guide selection of hotels, which features the most unique and exciting places to stay in Malta and throughout the world.
