Inside Le GV, Malta’s Newest MICHELIN Star

At Level Nine at The Grand, in the town of Mġarr, chef George Attard regularly draws on the array of delicacies that his native Gozo has to offer. On his days off, he savours these same culinary treasures much loved by locals and visitors alike. We asked him to take us along on a short gastronomic tour.

Since 1997, The MICHELIN Guide’s Bib Gourmand has celebrated restaurants worldwide that serve exceptional food at great value— here’s what makes it special.

The MICHELIN Guide explained — criteria for Stars; One Star versus Two Stars versus Three Stars; how service and decor factor in; and more. All your questions answered by our MICHELIN Guide Inspectors.

Few delicacies are as closely bound to a city as Qormi bread is to its namesake. Its aroma is so distinctive that connoisseurs can even recognise it blindfolded. How did a bread put a small town in the heart of Malta on the culinary map?

Occasionally, our inspectors are served dishes that remain etched in their memories. From the very first bite, something extraordinary happens – akin to love at first sight. But what are these dishes, and what sparks such emotion? Let us take you back to our most cherished moments from Malta's 2025 selection.

Japan offers more than skyscrapers and ryokan: It’s home to some of the most unique hotel forms in the world.

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!
