Best Restaurants, Must Try Places in Malta

"A post shared by Natalie Palmer (@palmskii) on May 10, 2017 at 12:32pm PDT. This well-established wine bar is nestled in a 400-year-old vaulted cellar below street level, and has been open for over 15 years. Its extensive selection of wines and platters made with the finest charcuterie make it the perfect hangout on cosy winter nights as well as warm summer evenings."

"Trabuxu ('corkscrew') is housed in a cool 350-year-old cellar – an atmospheric place to munch on perfect platters and quaff wine."

"This concept restaurant is famous for the fact that it doesn’t offer an a la carte menu. Strada Santa Lucia’s Legligin takes pride in its scrumptious €26 per person tasting menu, which features a selection of seven small courses of Maltese and Mediterranean dishes. The food is unpretentious and authentically Mediterranean – two elements that make this restaurant such a popular spot."

"Legligin is a Maltese onomatopoeic word for glugging down a drink. In the case of Legligin, the drinks of choice are an array of delicious wines set and kept at a good temperature in holes in the walls of this cellar-turned-wine bar. When you order a bottle, the owner quaintly plucks it out of the wall and serves it straight to your glass."

"With more of a tapas-style dinner with a Maltese touch, Legligin is located in an old wine cellar. It is actually a wine bar and restaurants in Valletta, and the dishes are mainly made to accompany your drinks, but the food is excellent!. The tasting menu is incredible, with several small dishes that are regularly changed."

"This has to be one of the best meals we have had… The portion sizes were so big… The menu has a lot of different options… warm friendly atmosphere with a pleasant staff… excellent service and staff… Could eat here everyday, would really recommend… nice restaurant with a great chance to sit outside on a warm summer evening… The food is freshly cooked and very tasty….

"Piccolo Padre is an Italian restaurant on the border between St Julian’s and Sliema. Technically it’s already Sliema, but it feels like you’re still in the centre of St Julian’s."

"Located in the periphery of St. Julian’s, lies a gastronomic experience that has in recent years established itself as the leading dining location for modern Mediterranean cuisine and molecular cocktails in Malta."

"Spinola Bay is one of the most famous in Malta, and the popular and busy location in St Julian's for walking and recreation. The Northern part of the Bay is a more relaxed place. Here, the boardwalk rises directly to the waters of the Mediterranean sea."

"The island of Malta is certainly studded with an array of lovely gardens which is rather surprising for its climate. One such surprising and lovely place to visit in Malta is the lesser known and yet incredibly beautiful Hastings Garden. The area is small but the green grass, the lovely flowers and the sculpture make it a wonderful and refreshing oasis in the middle of a busy city."

"Niezwykle popularna wśród turystów, piaszczysta plaża, usytuowana w zatoce wychodzącej z parku narodowego Il-Majjistral Nature and History, którego nazwa z kolei wywodzi się od północno-zachodniego wiatru powodującego w tym rejonie silne prądy morskie. Czerwona flaga na plaży ostrzega wówczas turystów, aby zażywali kąpieli tylko w płytkich wodach. Woda, jak niemal wszędzie na Malcie jest krystalicznie czysta i ciepła, piasek złocisty i drobny, imponujące widoki oraz wiele udogodnień przemawiają za tym, aby spędzić tu miło czas."

"A broad sandy beach well described by its name, Golden Bay is flanked by pristine cliffs to one side and a modern five-star resort hotel – Radisson Blu Resort and Spa, Golden Sands – to the other. There's plenty of space for beach games, except on summer weekends when it can get very crowded. Clear blue Mediterranean waters lap a fairly steeply shelving shore allowing proper swimming close to the beach."

"The Neolithic peoples who inhabited Malta and nearby Gozo left behind a rich trove of artifacts, and the temples they built are the oldest freestanding stone structures in the world—older than the pyramids of Egypt or Stonehenge in England. The National Museum of Archaeology has a stunning collection of these artifacts, ranging from carved female figures to pottery to stone tools. In all, the collection spans from 5,200 BCE, when humans first arrived on Malta, to 2,500 BCE."

"Starting with the building, The National Museum of Archaeology is an example of stunning baroque architecture. Going with the grandiose theme, it should come as no surprise that this is yet another former Knights of Malta residence. Learn the story of Malta’s history as told through the museums prehistoric collection."

"You will find quite a few interesting things to see in Republic Street. The National Museum of Archaeology is one of them. This amazing collection of artifacts and articles from Malta’s history is sure to leave you astonished."

"The Grandmaster’s Palace is a must for anyone interested in Malta’s war history. Within its opulent walls exists over five thousand suits of armour and equipment used by soldiers and knights since the 16th century. It is also home to the only complete and intact set of the famous 18th century French Gobelins tapestries entitled, “Les Teintures des Indes”, in the world."

"A huge historical monument is the former home of the Knights of Malta and it is as grandiose as the name suggests. Now partially used to house the President of Malta, with the rest being used a museum. Here you’ll find impressive murals that have captured 1565’s epic showdown in its entirety."

"The stern exterior of the 16th-century Grand Master's Palace conceals a sumptuous interior. This was once the residence of the Grand Masters of the Knights of St John. From Malta's independence until 2015 the..."
