The best restaurants Victoria - Rabat

Many are those who pass in front without spotting him. And yet, it is well worth the detour, its charm is immediate, especially thanks to its restored cellar with its subdued lights. The cuisine is Mediterranean and European. We recommend the soufflé as a starter and the lampukki on its bed of caper vegetables, accompanied by a black rice risotto. A cosy place with a pleasant open-air patio to sip cocktails and homemade rosé wine presented with pleasant antipasti as an aperitif. Very good welcome. Reservation is mandatory.

Priceless on the street that rises towards the citadel. Beside the Atrium, a table and a pleasant terrace, to restore you in a beautiful setting and in a historical environment. A chic appearance, but a certain simplicity under palm trees and bougainvillea. Choice of Maltese dishes and gozitaines specialities (try the gozitain plateau). Local wine in cheap jug. Great souvenir shop and crafts next door.

The real asset of this small wine bar-restaurant is its location on the charming Saint-Georges square, in front of the basilica, ideal for enjoying the liveliness of the neighborhood. It won't be the gastronomic stop of the year, but you will be able to appreciate the pasta dishes or the fish soup, served in good proportions and at reasonable prices. As for the service of the dishes, it is better not to be in a hurry but the drinks arrive relatively quickly and the spectacle of the surroundings will allow you to wait in a pleasant way.

A romantic garden among palm trees and flowers, a map focuses on Italy and Sicily: affordable prices. On the menu: day and vegetarian dishes, pasta, meat (white chicken pizzaiolo or beef roulade with cheese, mortadella and omelet), fresh fish, seafood, tiramisu and house ice.

A counter to buy (to take) pizza shares, pastizzi, slippers, thick shares of timpana. Very cheap.

This cafeteria serves Mediterranean specialities. Afternoon tea salon.

This reference in the restaurant's name is also reflected on the walls, which feature the stick figures discovered in the Ggantija temple. The rest of the decor is resolutely modern. The cuisine mixes Maltese basics with more international references such as ceviche or pisto de la Mancha. You can enjoy homemade tagliatelle or a gozitan salad. It's fresh, well presented, but a little expensive.

Tourists and locals alike have been flocking here for years. Conveniently located in the heart of the citadel in a beautifully refurbished medieval house, the top floor boasts a lovely rooftop terrace with a few tables. The menu is unique and low-priced, with dishes of the day such as rabbit in wine or homemade ravioli or plates of fresh vegetables: fresh or sun-dried tomatoes, capers, artichokes, olives, salad. Cheese platters, crusty bread and local wine are also available. The simplicity and freshness of products straight from the owner's farm (Ricardo, the man with the friendly moustache). You can also buy honey, wine and jars of cheeses and pickled vegetables in the local store. An address not to be missed. The goat's cheese ravioli are delicious!

In old Maltese its name means "meeting place". You can't imagine a better place for a restaurant located in one of Victoria's busiest squares, not far from the market. It is known for its traditional Maltese cuisine, with rabbit and lasagna as specialties. But you can also enjoy ravioli, pasta or pizza. Not forgetting the ftira de gozo, a pizza with fresh tomatoes, anchovies and olives. All this can be enjoyed inside, on the terrace on the square or on the roof terrace with a view of the citadel.
