The 2021 Guide builds on the success of last year’s first ever edition of the Michelin Guide on the islands of Malta and Gozo. The standard of cooking on the islands continues to excite as now five, of the 31 total recommended restaurants featured in this year’s guide, have managed to earn a MICHELIN Star.
International Director of the MICHELIN Guides, Gwendal Poullennec, commented that “the last year has created enormous challenges for the hospitality industry around the world and our hearts go out to all those facing difficulties in these trying times. Our inspectors, like the restaurants themselves, have had to adapt, but we were very pleased that they were able to spend time on the islands and find two new Michelin Stars and 5 new Michelin ‘Plates’ to add to the Guide”.
ION – Luka (Valletta)
Situated on the stunning rooftop of the luxurious Iniala Harbour House and Residences, ION – The Harbour offers award winning cuisine surrounded by world-class design and unrivalled views of the picturesque Grand Harbour. From the ambience to the service, the food to the in-house Sommelier wine pairing, all elements have been seamlessly brought together to create a finished dish that highlights the perfect moment of taste.

Bahia, a prestigious navel orange that has been the pride of the people from Lija, is now honoured with a chic bistro carrying its name.

O Malti
Sunčana ostrva Malte, usred Sredozemnog mora, dom su najveće koncentracije netaknute izgrađene baštine, uključujući najveću gustoću UNESCO-ovih mjesta svjetske baštine u bilo kojoj nacionalnoj državi bilo gdje. Valletta koju su izgradili ponosni Vitezovi Svetog Ivana jedna je od UNESCO-ovih znamenitosti i evropska prijestolnica kulture za 2018. Kameno nasljeđe Malte kreće se od najstarije samostojeće kamene arhitekture na svijetu, do jedne od najstrašnijih u Britanskom carstvu odbrambenih sistema, a uključuje bogatu mješavinu domaće, vjerske i vojne arhitekture iz antičkog, srednjeg vijeka i ranog modernog perioda. Uz izvanredno sunčano vrijeme, atraktivne plaže, bujan noćni život i 7,000 godina intrigantne istorije, ima mnogo toga za vidjeti i raditi. Za više informacija o Malti, posjetite www.visitmalta.com.
Boje i okuse Goza donose blistavo nebo iznad njega i plavo more koje okružuje njegovu spektakularnu obalu, koja jednostavno čeka da bude otkrivena. Zatopljen u mit, smatra se da je Gozo legendarno Kalipso ostrvo iz Homerove Odiseje – mirna, mistična rukavac. Barokne crkve i stare kamene seoske kuće pune su sela. Neravni krajolik Goza i spektakularna obala čekaju istraživanje s nekim od najboljih mjesta za ronjenje na Mediteranu.
