Malta

The 2025 Malta MICHELIN Guide selection celebrates a newly awarded One MICHELIN Star restaurant.

Visitors to Malta and Gozo have the opportunity to immerse themselves for a moment in agricultural life or even stay on a farm for an authentic and memorable experience that offers a fresh perspective on the day-to-day on the Maltese archipelago. Doing so also supports the preservation of traditional farming practices.

Perhaps the least known Maltese agricultural commodity is the indigenous Bidni olive, which is used to produce a unique monovarietal olive oil with a sophisticated terroir profile.

Towering cliffs, pristine natural beauty, sleepy farming villages, splendid churches and a harbour town where you are immediately immersed in the Gozitan atmosphere – no trip to Malta is complete without a visit to its smaller sister island Gozo. Go Gozo!

Rosami, a restaurant housed in an imposing 19C palazzo in Balluta Bay, was awarded its first star this year. It's time to meet chef Eoin Smith.

With his distinctive repertoire, he has surprises in store for local foodies and tourists alike.

The rich historical mosaic of the Mediterranean islands of Malta and Gozo is legendary.

Welcome to MICHELIN-Starred Fernandõ Gastrotheque, where the cooking revolves around Mediterranean flavours, Asian influences and an impressive wine list.

It might seem odd to associate a term from art history with a blood sausage, yet this poetic description is entirely fitting. Once set to disappear from the dinner table altogether, this delicacy may soon be welcomed back by the EU – as a recognised product with a protected designation of origin. It would also be Malta’s first in this category.

Home-made cheeses, or perhaps we could even call them living room cheeses… Chances are you have never heard this term. Yet, like garage wines, this coinage accurately captures the essence of a unique category of Maltese cheeses insofar as the meticulous artisanal processes that give them their distinctive flavours and shapes take place in tiny living rooms. Alongside authentic farmhouse cheeses, they imbue Maltese artisanal cheesemaking with a distinct energy of its own.

A local product par excellence, Maltese honey represents the country’s history and culinary riches – and no mention can be made of Maltese cuisine without it being referenced.
