De Mondion

★ Michelin€€€€french, regional

De Mondion delivers a stylish dining experience that fully matches the magnificent, fortified city of Mdina in which it is set. The gourmet restaurant occupies the top floor of the charming Xara Palace hotel, a 16C edifice. The indoor dining room is intimate and elegantly appointed, with lush carpets that lend it a soft, refined vibe, while the outdoor terrace commands a breathtaking view stretching over the island’s eastern side all the way to the coast. Chef Clint Grech and his team add a modern, light twist to Mediterranean fare, accented by a few French influences. An example: the tarte tr

AYU

必比登€asian

Located on Gzira’s seafront, the highlight of this lively venue with a youthful spirit is its cuisine which comes from all over the world. The three brothers at the helm have travelled extensively, and the menu reflects their globetrotting temperament. You’ll find delights from Morocco, Japan, Italy, Venezuela and so on. We enjoyed a starter of lamb-stuffed pitas flavoured with yoghurt and harissa sauces (from Lebanon), followed by eggplant stew with walnuts, paired with spiced rice and a raw vegetable tartare (from Iran). The simple dessert starred a patchwork of cultures: an enormous profite

The Medina

€€Mediterranean Cuisine, Traditional Cuisine

After you pass the fortified walls, it is a pleasure to lose yourself in the narrow streets of Mdina, the perfectly preserved ancient Arab capital of Malta. The food pays homage to the island as a crossroads of culinary cultures with the most typical dishes of Malta and other countries bordering the Mediterranean Sea, all within the setting of a charming historic building. If you are dining in company, we recommend the “casual bites” appetisers, which are perfect for sharing.

The Fork and Cork

€€mediterranean

Set within a historic stone building, this quiet, hospitable restaurant curates a delightful dining experience. Chef-patron Carl Zahra rolls out a contemporary and expertly crafted Mediterranean-inspired score, with a strong emphasis on high-quality local ingredients. The Inspector’s favourite: slow-cooked lamb shank with white beans, chorizo, Kalamata olive fricassée and braising lamb juices.

Set in an enviable position at the entrance to Mdina, this restaurant stands out by its terrace with sweeping sea views and the rich, expressive Mediterranean cuisine of chef Sheldon, that has earned it a reputation as one of the island’s finest establishments. The staff is always at hand to help you choose between locally sourced fish and expertly prepared meats. Signature dishes include yakitori-style octopus and Rossini-style beef fillet. While in the area, make sure you visit the nearby historic attractions; we also recommend getting a taxi to Mdina, unless you are staying nearby, as parki

The Golden Fork

€€Modern Cuisine, Creative

In the historic centre of Rabat, you can dine in the covered inner courtyard or in the rooms on the upper floor of a period building, thus experiencing all the charm of this extraordinary district of Malta, just a stone’s throw from Mdina. While founded on local traditions, the cuisine achieves results that can be highly creative and elaborate.

Grotto Tavern

€€€tea, sandwich, coffee_shop

This cosy, stylish tavern, in the heart of the charming town of Rabat and just a short walk from the St. Paul’s Catacombs, is both romantic and mysterious. A few steps lead down from the street to the main dining areas: the colourful Garden Dining Room, a riot of lush ornamental plants, and The Cave, carved out of the rock, which offers its own tasting menu, the ‘Grotto Experience’, alongside the à la carte and tasting menus available in the main dining room. The repertory is rooted in local produce and traditions, which are reinterpreted in a modern, creative vein.

The Seafood Market Grill

€€Seafood, Classic Cuisine

A simple establishment tucked away from the tourist bustle, where everything revolves around fish, as one might expect given its name. Right at the entrance of the restaurant, on the left, the day’s catch is displayed. You can choose from a range of raw seafood dishes, ceviches and a selection of oysters, caviar, shellfish and clams, along with Mediterranean fish that can be pan-cooked, grilled, or fried.
