For an authentic, organic experience, weaved with food and wine, immerse yourself in the Gozitan country-side at Ta’ Mena Estate. An easy find traveling from the center of the island to Marsalforn, this is your option for lunch or dinner.

After a side trip to Calypso Cave for its history and archaeology, and a relaxing day of swimming, snorkeling, and sand castles on the beautiful red sandy beaches of Ramla Bay, head south to enjoy an evening of culinary excellence at Country Terrace. Accompanied by a glass or two of local wines from their cellar, sit back and enjoy fresh pasta, seafood, and beef with the best sunset view on the island.

Comino
The smaller island of Comino, situated between Malta and Gozo, offers a paradise for divers, hikers, and windsurfers with white-sand beaches.


Before spending an incredible day swimming and snorkeling around the clear, turquoise waters of the Blue Lagoon, visit Santa Marija Bay Eatery offering local rise and shine breakfast bites. Since this is the only walk up option for food, nibbles, and fasties on the island, grab a to-go menu and order the traditional tuna ftira, twistees, and a Kinnie for your picnic lunch.

Malta
Just north of the capital of Valletta, the center areas for Malta’s food and fun are located in the waterfront towns of Sliema and St Julian’s . With something for everyone’s taste and budget, you’ll find everything from view-friendly restaurants and cafes to “down that alley” type pubs and clubs. On our “definitely must visit” list is Ta’ Kris Restaurant, Wigi’s, Ta’ Cardona Wine Bar, and ImPasta.


For a more quiet, long lunch or dinner surrounded by brightly colored boats and waterfront ambiance, locals head to La Reggia, a fabulous little restaurant where everything seafood is cooked to order, fresh from the harbor. They also have a varied Maltese menu with items such a fresh Meager with mushroom, mussels & vadouvan fricasseé and fenek/rabbit cannelloni, nutmeg, and marjoram.
