De Mondion

Restaurant★ Michelin€€€€3.7 km

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

Situated in a picturesque square with an old fountain, this 16C building boasts period brick walls and a rustic, romantic ambience – the cosy dining room is on the first floor and there is even a small table on the balcony (make sure you book this ahead). The cuisine focuses on local and Mediterranean ingredients, with highlights such as ricotta gnocchi with a Maltese sausage ragù, while the wine list stars a few international estates.

Bahia

Restaurant€€€451 m

Set within an intimate dining room on the first floor of the elegant Corinthia Palace Hotel, this restaurant – named after a local variety of orange – offers two tasting menus, “The Villages Journey” and “Plant-Based”, alongside an à la carte selection. There is also the “Inħalli f’idejk” (“I leave it in your hands”) menu, designed for guests who wish to be surprised and fully trust the chef's creativity. The culinary concept draws inspiration from Maltese culture, taking guests on a sensory journey through the island’s different villages, with each dish accompanied by a note indicating its sp

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

Restaurant€€3.8 km

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.

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.

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.

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
