Food and Wine

 

Gastronomy
The cuisine of the Maltese Islands is the result of a long relationship between the Islanders and the many invaders who occupied the Maltese Islands over the centuries. This marriage of tastes has given Malta an eclectic mix of Mediterranean cooking. Although the restaurant scene is a mix of speciality restaurants, there are many eateries that offer or specialise in local fare, serving their own versions of specialities..

Nowhere is this more evident than on Gozo. With an abundance of fresh organic produce and traditional farming, a generous supply of fresh fish and its very own gastronomic specialties, Malta's sister island never ceases to surprise the food aficionado.

Wine
Malta and Gozo may not be renowned like their larger Mediterranean neighbours for wine production, but local vintages are more than holding their own at international competitions, winning several accolades in France, Italy and further afield.

International grape varieties grown on the Islands include Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, Grenache, Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Carignan, Chenin Blanc and Moscato. The indigenous varieties are Gellewza and Ghirghentina, which are producing some excellent wines of distinct body and flavour.

Restaurants
Gozo is well served by restaurants, where the eating is good and varied. Apart from restaurants and cafés offering local dishes as well as continental menus, one can also enjoy themed restaurants, such as Chinese or Indian.

A list of restaurants will be added soon.
