Beautiful Basilica. Take the time to walk around. Sad to see all of the items in the shrine rooms. Walk up the hill opposite to see marble statues and get a great view if you ignore the crane 😊

Very nice enormous basilica with a touching story emblematic of the history and culture of Malta. Eminently walkable area and along many tour bus routes for a 10-minute photo stop. Highly recommend walking around outside and inside to catch all the gems of this wonderful place!

This a beautiful Catholic Shrine of Blessed irgin Mary. The story of the church and Shrine is uniquely beautiful. The church has been build out of small Chapel where the picture of Mother Mary of TA' PINU is located. Inside is the gallery with pictures and letters of all miracles and healing that took place as of Mother Mary and Frances. The basilica is very peaceful inside. The church is not open at all times. Modesty is necessary when coming to holy space like Shrine.

Another amazing architectural wonder. Such a scared site and a blessing to experience this powerful space. So cool to check out even though I am not religious but rather spiritual.

A truly breathtaking church in Gozo. The architecture is stunning inside and out, with incredible attention to detail. You can really feel the history and spirituality as soon as you walk in – it has such a peaceful and moving atmosphere. A must-visit if you’re exploring Gozo, whether for faith, history, or just to admire its beauty.

The Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu, nestled in the peaceful Gozitan countryside, is undoubtedly an impressive neo-Romanesque structure. I enjoyed visiting the site, and its architectural grandeur, particularly the towering bell tower and the beautiful mosaics outside, certainly make for a visually striking destination. It has a compelling history rooted in local tradition, dating back to a 19th-century peasant who allegedly heard the voice of the Virgin Mary in the original, much smaller chapel, which now sits behind the main altar. While the atmosphere is serene and it holds immense religious importance for the Maltese, beyond the stunning facade and the interesting back story, the visit itself wasn't a supremely unforgettable experience compared to some other world-class pilgrimage sites. Nevertheless, it is a significant cultural and spiritual landmark on the island of Gozo.

Stuning surroundings and architecture, holy place, the murals in front of the Church are amazingly handcrafted. Do not miss this on your trip to Gozo, a definitive must see. 👌👍

Beautiful! Haven't got a chance to see Azure Window when it was still above the ground, but I think Wied il-Mielah is a nice "replacement". It's amazing, the view made me breathtakingly calm ❤️ You can make a lunch break there as well! ☀️☺️☀️ I recommend walking in Gozo, in general, but especially to this place. It's nice to go with the bus to Zebbug and from there walk to Wied il-Gharsi (amazing) and then to wied il-mielah and from there to Gharb or San Lawrenz to take a bus back. And for those who really like to walk It's nice to go from wied il-mielah to the "sunsets cliffs" (probably through Gharb) most beautiful spot and by the cliffs It's a nice walk down to Dwejra Bay, but this route is for Island explorers, highly recommended for everyone tho. Cheers, see you at the cliffs 💃 (Video is from a really windy day, don't be scared 😅)

...I can’t find a word good enough to describe Malta’s stunning nature. Wied il-Mielah stands out with its beautiful coastal cliffs… a true rest for the soul and body…

Spectacular stone arch that you can walk out across on the left side of the valley (best to do this first, if you don't like heights), with a narrow staircase on the right side leading down to a great view of what's beneath where you were just standing (or not). It's an easy walk and there's parking nearby. If you go past the top of the stairs instead, out to the edge, then follow the clifftop around to the right, there's a ledge a couple of meters wide that you can walk along to see a huge cave a little further along the coast. Back at the car park, there's a road to the east that takes you along the cliffs to Wied il-Għasri, which is also well worth a visit.

It was an interesting drive to get there. It's a really fun one :)) The place itself is beautiful, easy to get to. There are stairs that go down, they're well made and safe.

Walk the trail down the side of the cliff. You are limited in view as it is blocked off towards the end Because it has become eroded, but still a wonderful view.

A fantastic geological experience, a truly wonderful visit to this rock formation that 30 million years ago was the seabed, if you look carefully you will find millions of fossils buried in the rock on which you walk. You can also take a walk down a staircase to view the Weid IL Mielah window

Very beautiful landscape and veiw over the sea and surounding cliffs. The Window looks like on the end of the world. It is also good for climbing. In that part of the island you can see a lot of cliffs over 50m heigh.

We had a fantastic time visiting Dwejra Bay! The panoramic views are absolutely breathtaking — a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. You can enjoy the Inland Sea, unique rock formations, and even take a short boat ride through sea caves. There’s a convenient car park nearby, which made access easy even with kids. Toilets are available, and the area feels clean and well-kept. There’s also a small café (Getaria) where we grabbed some snacks and drinks — very handy!

Actually, we don’t go to Dwejra Bay, we went to The Inland Sea and the Blue Hole Dive site. The inland sea is a lovely place to visit, it is hot with little or no breeze down there. There is not much shade around except at the cafe. The Blue Hole dive site is impressive. We only spent about an hour there which was long enough. The Zip line looks great as well.

A stunning place to visit, It has everything, caves in the sea of which you can swim to or take a small boat trip through. Massive impressive cliffs surrounding this bay , lots of walking and magnificent sea views including views of the historic remains of the Azure window.

If you’re staying in Malta, Well worth taking the ferry over to Gozo and visiting this unique place where you can take a short boat ride for €5 per person (cash only)… then take a swim in the shallow clear water next to the boat trips ! Overall amazing experience !!!

Cool bay. Stairs to get down and swim. About a 10-15 minute walk from bus stop of blue hole

Amazing sunset, can get busy but enough space if you look for it.

We spent one night on anchor in March so other boat, beautiful sunset and stunning views from the clifs. Just superb 👍

visited with family on 13.7.2025 in the early evening. Restaurant in a strategic location with a beautiful view of the local nature and the sea. Upon entering, the attentive staff immediately noticed us and seated us. The restaurant is clean and cozy. I had fresh fish for dinner, my girlfriend had spaghetti with seafood, and my child had chicken nuggets. Rating? I was very pleasantly surprised by the professional approach of the staff, who were very helpful. The food was very tasty and aesthetically at a high level. As a traveler, I recommend this restaurant and thank you very much for a great experience. Salut from Czech republic 🇨🇿

I've been in Gozo for two weeks now and have tried most of the island's top restaurants — some fancy, some expensive, and some with just average food. But this place truly stands out. The service is absolutely fantastic, the food is incredibly tasty, and the prices are very reasonable. It’s rare to find a place that hits all the marks so well. During our visit, we also had a great conversation with the owner, who has been running this restaurant for over 40 years. He spoke with genuine passion about keeping things simple and honest — no unnecessary twists, no over-seasoning, just real, traditional cooking done right. They use fresh fish from local suppliers, which makes a huge difference in flavor and quality. You can feel that this place has soul. After all the places we’ve tried, this is by far the best. I can’t recommend it enough.

Very good food for such a commercial place. I recommend the chicken with almond sauce. On the menu, you’ll find classic beers, as well as a wide selection of cocktails and wines. The prices are pretty much the same as in Valletta, Malta.

Best restaurant what we have discovered while staying in Gozo! Place with devoted attention to the slightest detail - good quality food, exceptional service, friendly and welcoming staff, nice atmosphere and of course affordable prices. We even enjoyed eating at this place two times for dinner - just because one time experience here wasn’t enough! And of course wonderful sunset!👍

Exceptional service from Irmine, and this is with the lens of spending years working in top restaurants. Just perfect balance of attention and meaningful, not upselling type of advice. Thank you to chefs too, the food was made with taste, fresh and wonderful flavours. The breathtaking sunset is just round a corner, so worth visiting before or after to enjoy that. In daylight you get slightly distanced Dwejra bay view. Chill out background music makes it a definitely a relaxing meal during quieter time. Lovely experience to carry. Thank you. 🐟🐙🍅🫒

Great restaurant, we had a fresh fish of the day (Merluzzo), made with garlic and herbs and super delicious sides like veggies, french fries, potatoes and salad.

Amazing place with excellent view. Clean and people working there are very nice, smiling and helpful. Sea bass grilled very tasty. Only one dish was not good, french fries. Fried in deep oil and it was like potato drunk oil. So the feeling was to eat oil in shape of french fries. Beside that, perfect.

Unfortunately, Azure window does not exist. However, you can watch cliffs and caves with gorgeous water colors, and nearby is an amazing blue hole in which you can dive. A wonderful depth and lots of fish. Wonderful experience. I recommend.

I was so happy to visit very beautiful place. I like it so much. Goo thing is before taking boat we enter to the musium where the lady explained us very well about the place. It helped us alot and during boat trip we could understand what we see. Moreover, The guide who accompanied with boat also explwined and showed the famous places.

Very beautiful place, but unfortunately, the arch was destroyed about 6 years ago. Use the boat trip. It is not expensive - 5€ per person.

Even though the Azur window collapsed a couple of years ago, it remains a top touristic spot to visit in Gozo. Definitely once in a lifetime opportunity to see a collapsed nature phenomenon that has been there for thousands and thousands of years. The surrounding cliffs and rocky beaches are perfect Instaworthy locations and you can take a boat to go on the sea or go snorkeling. Top location in Gozo even getting a bit too touristic for my liking.

The Azure Window doesn't exist anymore. Doesn't matter. It's absolutely beautiful. Take a 4 euro boat trip and discover the caves and take a closer look. We definitely enjoyed it. Must go if you are in Gozo. It can be very very hot tho in summer, don't expect to find a nice relaxing place in the shadow!

So the arch has collapsed but it's still worth the time and effort. The Mediterranean Sea is incredibly beautiful. Insanely blue! The cliff walls were beautiful. I loved it 😍. The blue in my pictures IS how blue it was that day. I have not altered my photos in any way.

The boat guide let us swim in crystal clear water inside the caves, What an incredible experience

The Azure window is not there anymore. The naturally formed rock faces in combination with the blue ocean is worth the visit.

We ordered a Gorgonzola burger & seafood pasta. The burger was dry & over cooked, good size but burned bun & not much of Gorgonzola or bacon made it very ordinary & not worth its €11 price. However the fries were hot & good. The seafood pasta was good with clams & mussels but not much else of seafood. Good sauce but didn’t seem homemade sauce.

We had a fantastic time at this restaurant. The pizza was absolutely delicious — perfectly baked, with fresh ingredients and a rich, authentic flavor that really stood out. You can tell they put care into every detail. What truly made our visit special was the warm and welcoming service. George, the host, was outstanding — incredibly friendly, funny, attentive, and made us feel right at home. He gave great recommendations and ensured we had everything we needed throughout our meal. If you're looking for a place with great food and even better hospitality, this is the spot. Highly recommended — we’ll definitely be coming back!

Very good pizzas. Flavourful and delicious and baked with care. Prices are very reasonable. Highly recommend!!

I only came the once which is a shame as I did think I would have liked to visit more. There was a lovely welcome and I was shown through the (noisy) bar into the restaurant. I chose not to sit facing the enormous TV with football playing! I had the mushroom pizza, which was excellent and a good price and a glass of wine. The service was without fault. The menu had many meals I would have liked so I do hope to go again.

What a gem of a spot! The pizza is absolutely amazing — especially the Margherita. Fresh, flavorful, and just hits the spot. Easily one of the best we had on the island. But what really made the evening unforgettable was George, our waiter. Not only was he super friendly and welcoming, but when he noticed we wanted to take a group photo with our friends, he didn’t just offer to help — he went above and beyond. George found us the perfect photo spots near the cathedral and made sure we got a beautiful memory to take home. It’s rare to meet someone so genuine and thoughtful — he truly made us feel like locals for the night. The place itself has such a relaxed, authentic vibe. Mostly locals, great energy, and that calm, peaceful Maltese atmosphere you instantly fall in love with. And being right next to the stunning cathedral just adds to the magic. Can’t recommend this place enough — will definitely be back!

I loved it, the service, the atmosphere, everything. I orderd too much for one person but the food was good and prices low.

We had Pizza, Burger, Steak, and Speare Ribs. Everything was great for a very good price. Clear recommendation if you are in town !

Good food with nice and friendly waiters and for a fair price. Also its in a nice "alley" with different shops around. Perfect place for a nice lunch

One of the best croissant and orange juice that we had this week. Worth checking!

Lovely little café that's located in the craft village, we stopped here for lunch. I had soup which was amazing and my wife and son got pancakes which they loved. The coffee and service was great too :)

The worst place I have ever been too on Gozo. Was here recently with friends as was told the new chef was amazing. Lets just talk about poor personal hygiene first of all and when I asked for my food I was rudely met my Andrew or Andy asking me to leave as the place was owned by police and he was well connected. Avoid this place at all costs, the staff are dirty and the food is no better

We took the salmon ciabatta and the ftira and both were really good! The waiters greeted you with a big smile and were so friendly. Great find!

Lovely little family run cafe. Great food and very fairly priced. Friendly service and quick which is great when you have hungry little ones. Will visit again. Thank you 🙏

You can’t skip that place if you on the way to Inland sea. Service there was extremely fast & super friendly. Food were incredibly great. Malta deserves to have more places like this. Strongly recommend!

This place is absolutely amazing. It is typical local restaurant with excellent atmosphere and very polite staff. It is open during lunch time untill 3pm and during dinner from 6pm. We enjoied all of our meals and home made desserts. I realy appreciate local places like this restaurant, if you have possibility to visit, i recommend 100% this place!

Best of the best Malteses meals so far we tried over a week. Everything cooked perfectly, lamb, fish and quail were juicy and delicious. Service was top, food came quicly on our tables, non stop smiles and politiness of the waitress.

We stopped in tonight after noticing the great reviews online - and we certainly weren’t disappointed! We had the fresh whole fish of the day, which was sea bass, and it was *chef’s kiss* to die for. Even the sides, roasted veg and tomato sauce, were amazing. My son had the penne carbonara, and it was also very tasty. If you’re looking for fresh fish, this is the place to go!

After a long and winding road from the opposite side of Malta, Marsaskala, to Gharb, we decided to have dinner at the nearest place possible, Salvina’s. Didn’t regret it, felt immediately welcome, taken care of, and the woodburning stove did the rest. As starters I had smoked fish with salad, for mains a salmon done just the way I like it, a couple of Cisk's to go along, and an especially custom made cortado (mini cappuccino, sort of) to finish of the chocolate gateaux with cream. Of course, there's always room for improvement: the fish fingers should be replaced by Dutch "vis sticks", kids will love it!

I was looking a place to eat dinner, during my first night in Gozo. So, I found that Salvina was still open and entered. The waiter, welcomed me really friendly and took me to the available table. After I checked the menu, I decided to try the local dish of rabbit stew and a beer. I received the beer and some really nice grilled bread. After 15-20 minutes, from the moment I placed the order, I received a big dish with hot stew and three fresh made side dishes. I really enjoyed. The meat was so good cooked that you didn't need the use of the knife. The side dishes, great. I really enjoyed the vegetables. I really recommend that place. Just one thing. Please update the menu that you got at the entrance. The prices were different with the one that I received at the table :)

Lovely local restaurant with local foods. Had a perfect swordfish steak and octopus as well. All served very quickly with a sweet man running the place. Would recommend if staying in Gharb.

We had two really nice meals here. Service was prompt and very friendly - the food was really nice, with a slightly 'nostalgic' twist to the menu - prawn cocktail, chicken Kiev and beef stroganoff taking pride of place alongside the more usual items. We also had rib eye and prawns, both of which were expertly grilled. Lovely end of town to boot. Not the cheapest, but definitely worth a visit or two.

Our first time here was very good. Friendly & good service. We ordered the Pomegranate salad which was tasty, tangy and fresh though it had a bit too much dressing. The beef cheek pasta was absolutely delicious. Pasta cooked perfectly, the meat was very tender & full of taste. Lastly the mushroom beef burger was cooked right, medium, nice grill taste. Happy with our first time dinner here.

Delicious food and great service. The skate fish was tender and juicy melts in your mouth. Paccheri with beef cheek and truffle amazing and for the deserts all freshly prepared. Must try the cannoli, they are worth it! Decent prices and most importantly all food was good!!!

Everything we had at il-Kunvent was delicious, from the complimentary beet soup to start to the incredible mains (burrata pizza and spaghetti rabbit) and a perfect dessert to finish, chocolate fondant and date fritter. They also very kindly let us eat outside despite being fully booked for the indoor area- highly recommended to anyone who wants a truly superb meal on Gozo!

My first time here and I can’t wait to be back! The food is so good, atmosphere is great and the staff are so lovely and welcoming. I’m sensitive to gluten and had a plate of pasta with beef cheeks and truffle which was divine.. my family also enjoyed their meals a lot - really recommend this place :)

Uffff the food was absolutely amazing!! Really delicious!! I was speechless. The service was fast and friendly. The place is also really nice. Highly recommended!!

What a discovery... This restaurant is perfect! Very good meals, kind waitresses and not very expansive. If you are here, do not hesitate !

Il-Kunvent Restaurant in Gharb is an absolute gem! From the moment we walked in, the staff greeted us with genuine warmth and professionalism — their smiles instantly made us feel at home. The service throughout the evening was flawless: attentive without being intrusive, and always with a personal touch. The food was nothing short of exceptional. The sea bass ceviche was a true highlight — a perfect balance of sweet, tangy, and spicy flavours, with fish so fresh it literally melted on the tongue. The beef cheek pasta was equally impressive: rich, hearty, and cooked to perfection, offering comfort and sophistication in every bite. Everything from the presentation to the atmosphere was spot-on. You can tell that everyone at Il-Kunvent truly cares about creating an unforgettable dining experience. If you’re visiting Gozo, don’t miss this place. It’s easily one of the best meals we’ve had on the island — a perfect blend of warmth, flavour, and genuine hospitality.

Along Gozo’s rugged northwest coast, the centuries-old salt pans carve a striking geometric pattern into the limestone shoreline. Hand-chiseled by generations of local families, these shallow pools still produce sea salt using traditional methods passed down since the Romans. Visiting at sunrise or sunset offers breathtaking views as the golden light reflects off the crystal-lined pans. Watch as salt harvesters skillfully scrape the mineral-rich crystals—a backbreaking yet cherished craft. The nearby Salt Kitchen shop sells this "white gold" in its purest form, perfect for edible souvenirs. A testament to Gozo’s resilience, the salt pans blend natural beauty with living history. Free to visit, but respect the working areas.

Very nice area to visit and walk around. Beautiful salt pans, easily accessible.

So brilliant to see the salt being harvested. Great walking along by the sea. Great for swimming, relaxing and leisurely refreshments.

Beautiful coastal walk along the water, interesting history regarding the salt collection. A nice family sells the salt directly at the location.

As beautiful as the pictures...in Victoria, you can buy Gozo sea salt from here that's several hundred years old! The salt pans are a marvel of nature and located at the end of a pleasant walk or drive from Marsalforn--but I recommend walking for the air.

You can get here by car. We visited on a Saturday and there was plenty of space to park and then to walk around and explore. This is a free attraction on Gozo. Salt extracted from the pans is available to purchase on site for €6-7.

Nice bit of coast to see where salt is traditionally still collected over the summer months. Really interesting to see, nice walk along the coastline while you're viewing them. There's a cafe there and public toilets. We went in off season so plenty of places to park, but could see in the summer months that it would be very busy.

The BEST spot to start your journey with scuba diving. Came with a friend for one week to do Open Water Diver - everything was organized professionally with kindness in friendly atmosphere. Fantastic accommodation and delicious breakfasts. We loved the sense of community and humor of our diving instructor - Renato 🤙🐟 Much recommended!

Dive with Atlantis at your own risk because it will make you want to quit your job. I had the pleasure of meeting Jen, Stefania, Arne, Flo and Jonathan who made my four days truly incredible. Many thanks especially to Jonathan who made sure we spent as much time underwater and explore as much as we could with our air supply! Even though I am still a beginner diver, I was able to visit so many amazing dive sites, the videos that I have don't even begin to show how incroyable diving in Gozo is! I am very glad I did my AOW and Deep Specialty with Atlantis, see you next time!

I did my OWD course at Atlantis Diving Center and the experience couldn’t have been better. Renato was the best instructor I could’ve asked for, super patient and his explanations were always super clear and easy to understand. So I’m actually thinking of coming back and doing my advanced diver with him as well! 100% recommendation: all the staff were super friendly & helpful; the dive sites are amazing and perfect for beginners! But there’s also loads of amazing wrecks for experienced divers :).

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ (200% Recommendation!) We spent an amazing 8 days with Atlantis Dive Center in there own Atlantis Lodge on Gozo – and honestly, it was beyond perfect. This was not just a holiday, this was a memory for life. Accommodation (Atlantis Lodge): The room was small but cozy, just perfect for two people – clean, functional, everything working exactly as it should. Breakfasts were simply lovely – fresh, tasty, and served every morning by a wonderful lady who always had a big smile. The perfect way to start the day. Diving (Atlantis Dive Center): The dive center is excellently equipped, all gear well-maintained and up to date, with fair prices and professional service. Briefings before each dive were clear, detailed, and safety-focused – exactly how it should be. But the true highlight is the team of instructors: professional, supportive, friendly, and always smiling. • Pixe took me on my very first wreck dive – a moment I will never forget! • We spent most of our dives with Patrick from Germany who was always caring and helpfull with all you need, simply a great instructor to be with under water! • Florian another German folk who finally explained me how to do underwater circles properly, great dives and fun person to be with – thanks for that! • And the very first and last dives with Elliot were also super special and professional! Thank you All of them guys there made me a better diver with each and every dive - appreciate all of you ❤️ Every single instructor we met was helpful, passionate, and made sure we always felt safe, be safe and excited at the same time. Gozo itself is a beautiful island, but what made it truly unforgettable was the people at Atlantis starting with Stephania in dive centre - thank you soooo much - you know for what 😜 And finnishing with all of your stuff!!! They made us enjoy our diving and whole holiday on a not just 100% but defo at least 200% ➡️ In short: Atlantis Dive Center + Atlantis Lodge = the perfect combination of accommodation, service, and world-class diving. We’ll definitely be back! Best regards and thanks to all of you! ❤️Stanislav & Katerina❤️

Big and well organised. You can clean and leave Your equipment. We had 7 dives each in different location. Small groups, many profesionall instructors and many cars. Will visit again on Gozo.

Absolutely amazing! We spent a week here and did our advanced course and some fun dives. Our instructor, Francesca was amazing and super fun we learned a lot from her. The rest of the staff were super helpful and nice all of the time, and the dive sites are stunningly beautiful. Our room was in the Atlantis Lodge, it was super clean with all of the things included we’d need, they came every day to clean it. The equipment was in perfect condition also. We had a really great time here I recommend every dive enthusiast to come and visit Atlantis because it’s really worth it in every aspect!

We had six absolutely amazing dives with Atlantis. Our guides were Steve and Francesca, knowledgable, friendly and patient people who made our dives memorable and safe. We dived on a different site every time and the Dive masters took care to make the dives last as long as possible taking into consideration air consumption of every diver. We are definitely coming back with more people. Knowing that we can reach a world class diving area in just 2h of flight from home feels like a blessing that we intend to use!

Wonderful small shop with wines, local jams, olives, honey, and fresh vegetables. The owner is welcoming and lovely.

Even though the wineyard is being renovated and everything happens in a small shop, the food was great (we loved the tomato paste and olive oil) and the tasting of their wines is free. Also the hostess is an interesting and funny woman that made the whole experience really enjoyable. High value products for the price. Highly recommended

This may be the most hidden of Gozo’s many gems. An incomparable experience of authentic Gozitan wine, food, history, and culture was had here. My wife and I were offered immeasurable hospitality and generosity as we were treated to Ħobż biż-żejt (bread with sweet tomato paste and olive oil), a wide variety of locally-produced red and white wine, Gozitan cheese, and gluten free sweets (my wife is celiac). As lovers of wine, we can say that this multi-generational family of grape-growers and wine-makers is producing some of the finest wine at the best prices on Gozo. Of equal quality is their homemade tomato pastes, jellies and jams, and sweet treats. Do not pass by their unassuming store front—there is excellence within.

Such a charming little store with fresh local produce, preserves, liqueur, wine, cheeses and more. Definitely go here if you’re around the area - the lady in the shop is so lovely and offered us a taste of her beautiful wines and fruit liqueurs, which were so unique and flavoursome. Go here while visiting Gozo!

We came on a Saturday afternoon, visited the farm and listened to Joseph share about the family history and experiences of running the Ta Mena Estate. It's evident that it's a hard business to run, especially with the high standards of organic production that they have. The wines and antipasti were delicious, especially the Rosé and the Gabillott (red) wines as well as the tomato paste! All around a great experience and excellent value for money!

The estate is a bit different from the winery. As of 8/31/24, the estate is undergoing renovation. However, there is a small shack by the estate entrance where you can try the wines made here along with a lot of tomatoes, paste, and other items. The hostess was very nice and let you try the wines at your own pace.

A fabulous shop selling delicious, unique local produce. We bought olives, jams and oranges from here and were so pleased with everything. The tomato paste is a must too! It was so lovely visiting a family-run shop that has been there for many years, and service was so friendly. We are so glad we came across Ta Mena!

We have eaten at this restaurant twice—last summer and again this summer—and we’ll be returning again this evening. We first came across it by chance when its well-known competitor was closed, and it turned out to be an easily missed gem in Marsalforn. The food is consistently delicious, wonderful seafood and pasta, and the service is warm and attentive. You couldn’t be closer to the sea which adds to its charm. We highly recommend!

Very good food and a super friendly manager. Amazing sea view. It was our best meal on Gozo Island!

Amazing location next to the sea. Wonderful food and friendly helpful service 😁 highly recommended ❤️

We visited this restaurant eager to try the food, but sadly, our experience was far from satisfactory. Upon arrival, we felt unwelcome, as it took a long time to be seated, almost as if we were intruding. Once seated, we were not given the pizza and cocktail menus, leaving us in the dark about our options. After waiting for quite some time, we noticed several waitstaff standing around, yet no one came to take our order or check on us. Ultimately, we decided to walk out, as it became clear that our presence wasn't valued, no one even noticed or cared. Disappointing service overshadowed what could have been a great lunch experience.

Good food, nice service. Fresh seafood, not expensive. Nice view from terrace.

Nice restaurant, good service, fresh fish and oysters. Home deserts and liqueur are good as well

We are always satisfied. Very nice staff and ready to help,nice atmosphere by the sea and delicious food and very nice presentation. They always offer a drink on the house. I highly recommend

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I recently dined at Qbajjar Restaurant in Marsalforn, Gozo, and it was a fantastic experience! The seafood was incredibly fresh and expertly prepared, with the local flavors shining through. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. The views of the bay added to the charm of the evening. I highly recommend the grilled octopus and the homemade desserts! Can't wait to return!

We visited this place together with a local who said this place has the best price vs food quality performance on Gozo. I don't know if it is so, but I trust our friend. So I took fish soup, it was tasty, it had fish and rice as main filling plus some other things, a solid 7.5/10 As a starte we also took Mussels and they were really good, nice garlic and vine 9/10. All table took Spaghetti Pescatore as it was suggested to us by our friend and I have to say it was great (I'm not a huge fan of pastas, but this I could eat more) it had rich seafood topping and everything was well made and tasty 9.5/10 And as a dessert I took an apple pie andb my other half took Fondant. Both were ok, well made and balanced with ice-cream. 8/10 What this place lacks is a bit better service. We asked for desserts menu 3 times (to 3 different waiters) until it was finally brought. This place has a nice terrace with view of sea. All in all, I think I would visit this place again if I'm somewhere nearby.

Amazing food, very fresh and delicious. The staff was really helpful and friendly. Highly recommended 😊

The restaurant is located right by the sea, offering a beautiful view from both the terrace and the outside area. The staff is friendly, and the dishes are served quickly. There’s a wide selection of wines, as well as craft beers. When it comes to the menu, I believe everyone can find something they like. The prices are similar to those in Rabat on Gozo and on Malta itself. The only downside is that when it’s full inside, it gets quite noisy and it can be hard to have a conversation.

This restaurant is near the guest house where we stayed. We went just for convenience but we ended up eating here every day because the food was good. It’s also good value for money as the portions are big. You’d better go there hungry.

Decent, big portion. Octopus starter is good, tuna salad very good it's fresh. Grilled calamari 10/10, but the disappointment comes from the seafood pasta, prawn, king prawn, shrimps and squid are all not fresh, you can taste it's the frozen ones.

We visited Qbajjar in Gozo without a reservation and were seated outside, where we could enjoy the warmth and a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I ordered the mussels cooked in white wine and despite the sauce being on the salty side, the mussels themselves were absolutely fantastic. So fresh, meaty, and perfectly cooked, hands down the best mussels I had during my entire trip to Malta. Although it was listed as a starter, the portion was incredibly generous and could’ve easily passed for a main. The staff were friendly and welcoming throughout, and we had no trouble finding a parking space in their car park, which made the whole experience smooth and stress-free. I’d definitely return if I’m ever back in Gozo, just maybe with a side of bread to soak up that salty (but tasty!) sauce. The deserts were nicely presented, and quite delicious.

Best pizza and ragu pasta I have had, amazing for the prices they have, especially compared to other restaurants. I stayed in Gozo for 2 days and only eaten here. The waiters are amazing and kind enough to get us a table even when we didn't have a reservation. Short, but great menu, ask the waiters for desserts.

Food was great. We have eaten a lot of pizzas but this one was the best! Pizza dough and crust are amazing. Caramella is very interesting pizza with tuna chunks and light caramelised onion and great buratta cheese. The combination is great and pizza is very light so you won't feel heavy after a meal. Pork Fiction is also very interesting pizza, not only because it doesn't have any tomato sauce which is replaced by homemade bell pepper cream. The combination of bell pepper cream, Porchetta and spicy mango is a winning combo. We truly recommend Casa Vostra to everyone. Stuff was lovely and kind. We came without reservation but they still managed to find a table for us. But we recommend to make a reservation.

One of the best Pizzas I've had in my life, without a doubt. We had the Pzza Caramella, and the Potato Terrine, both of which were outstanding. The same goes for the service - attentive, professional, well coordinated. This place is a gem! Come here, you won't regret it!

Casa Vostra was a great pizza stop on Gozo Island- food was fantastic and the outdoor seating had a nice vibe. Unfortunately, the service was quite slow. We waited about 10 minutes before being greeted, and our pizza arrived nearly 25 minutes after the appetizer, even though other tables who arrived later were served, ate and paid before our 1 pizza came out. The food was definitely worth it, but with limited time on the island, spending over an hour for a simple meal wasn’t ideal.

Truly a gem we have found in Victoria on Gozo. From the moment you enter the restaurant you feel fantastic. At the entrance the pizzas are prepared for everyone to see. The whole design of the restaurant is beautiful, I especially liked the way the space is lighted and of course all the decorations. Friendly and welcoming staff. Interesting varieties of pizza to choose from. The food itself was delicious. We would love to come back some day.

Amazing. One of the best places to eat not only in Gozo but in Malta as well. What we had ordered was truly fantastic. The environment was great too. About prices, pizzas starts in 12 euros. The beer was great as well.

Hands down the best pizza you’ll find in Malta! If you’re a pizza lover like me, don’t miss this 🍕 their pizza menu is very creative and even though I usually love a simple margharita, I’m glad I tried those unique combinations of flavors. Their homemade lemonade and tiramisu are also top notch. The atmosphere is very cozy and warm. Great experience overall. ☺️ It’s usually very busy, so definitely make a reservation beforehand.

Not very big, but worth a visit if you're nearby. The story - finding a cave while digging a well, and the spending years to dig it out - is fascinating. We were given a tour by the great-great-great-great-grandson 🙂

Pretty incredible little stop in the city, the two granddaughters of the man who discovered the cavern face a very good guided tour. Would recommend if you’re trying to get out of the heat for a bit.

Well worth a visit and very beautiful to see. The tour was great and very interesting. We were shown round by a little old Maltese lady who was the granddaughter of the man who discovered it while digging it out for a well. She told stories and the names of different stalactites and rock formations that have been passed down through generations. The tour lasted about 30 minutes and has no set price, all she asked is for a small donation minimum of 3 euros. But feel free to donate more as it's well worth it.

Lovely little grotto underneath the houses. Lots of other posts with info and I wouldn’t want to take away from the hosts presentation as we were shown around by a great, great (not sure how many greats) granddaughter and younger sister (?) of the man that first dug in to the grotto. Very sweet and worth a quick visit.

One of the most unique experiences in Gozo. The cave is 8 meters below the ground, and the tour is led by a descendant of the man who discovered it, which makes it even more special. She explains things really well.

What an amazing place, and even more surprised by its location. We have never visited a cave that is literally under a huge house. 101 years ago, a man was looking for water, dug a well, and found this small but amazing cave. We highly recommend it. The entrance fee is symbolic 3eur per person, but since the service is with a guide, it is really worth it. Highly recommended 10/10

Xerri's Grotto was discovered by this 79 year old lady's husband's grand father in 1920s and after digging and excavation, opened up after 2nd world war. What a hidden gem , going down 34 steps or 8 meters under ground, they have another well which is another 9 m deep and still being used .

Nice ancient cave discovered by the owner of the house when he was digging and searching for water. Now his granddaughter is taking care of his legacy. Cheap access, only four euros per person, and if you like archeology you must visit this sight.

Not quite what I expected but still nice once you're in there. You have to go down a small passageway, ring a doorbell and a little old lady will let you in. It's just a room beneath a house where there's only enough room for about 4/5 people to stand.

This is a free visit cave. Thanks to the lady, who gave me all details on how this cave was founded by her grandfather 130 years ago. This is a naturally found & well preserved cave. Only this disappointed me was, it's a very small cave of maybe 5000sqmeter approx. Also there are very limited public transits in that area.

I really couldn’t believe it. It is in a sweet lady’s house. She is amazing and has a lot go tell about the cave. The entrance fee is a donation of your choice to charity. Amazing and spontaneous interaction

Lovely cave in the basement of someone’s home!! When I arrived there was no one there but a bell to ring, and a lady came from next door and gave a me a tour and the history of her family. 2€ donation but totally worth it.

A beautiful cave located under a family house. The guide has a beautiful story about how the cave was found by her great grandfather. The cave is also free which was nice. As a whole experience it was very nice and personal. Really recommend to go if you are around this area.

Totally mind blowing that Guzepp Rapa discovered this in 1888 when digging for a water well to build his house. Fantastic that his grand-daughter (an elderly lady) is still showing people round and sharing her family story.

Enjoyed it very much. Good food good company

Lovely place with several restaurants and many spots where you can swim. Also live music entertainment every Monday all summer long. Beautiful walks by the seaside leading to Xwejni bay and further in. Worth a visit.

It is not impressive as others write. Ordinary coast with cafes and hotels. All of southern Europe with the same promenades, nothing special. It's true that the food in cafes is amazing.

Very nice bay on the north side of Gozo, with great eating and drinking options. There isn’t much of a beach, as is usual on Gozo, but there are plenty of places you can jump or walk into the warm sea, and roped off areas for children. We had a great afternoon here and would consider staying here in the future.

The Gozo island of Malta is a remarkable place. Maltese by birth but a English citizen since a child I’ll be giving a honest review. Gozo is a stand alone island from Malta with a verity of locations. The island is more a relaxed location which is great for exploring, relaxing, visiting and shopping. as we have a flat in Gozo I’m able to say their a fair few shopping locations including a smaller shopping centre and a Lidl’s. The experience is pleasant and rememberable and with out a doubt enjoyable. This is not a drinking holiday location but the Friday and Saturday night are entertaining and good.

I love this place and how close it is to major tourist sites

Love this bay. Ample restaurants

This old-house-now-museum spans across a number of floors (not suitable for disabled visitors) and a labyrinth of rooms. There wasn't a huge amount of information about the rooms and their uses in the museum. It took around 20 mins to traverse. It was free as part of the combined ticket (see below). Entry to the museum is €5 on its own (not good value) or €13 as part of a combined ticket that includes 5 Citadella museums (Cittadella visitor centre), museum of archaeology, old prison, Gran Castillo historic house, and nature museum) as well as the Ggantija Archeological park (€10 on its own, making the combined ticket worthwhile) and Ta Kola windmill.

A must visit in Gozo. It is free to enter and walk around the perimeter wall which has spectacular 360 degree views of Gozo. There an entrance fee of 5euros per adult, children and students £4euros to enter the Cathedral which includes the museum. Be aware mid afternoon in July it is very, very hot with nest to no shade or breeze.

Located in the Citadel, the real draw is the picturesque courtyard / balconies in this small museum. This is included with some other small museums as part of the Citadel visitor ticket. (€5)

Recommended visit to see a collection of items related to Gozitan history in terms of folklore, food, tools, furniture, and other antiquities. It is worth getting the ticket to visit the museums Gozo from Heritage Malta, as this is one of the spaces included.

We had a lovely day here, we paid for entry which gave you access to the 5 museums. They are all beautiful kept, the whole place is stunning and worth a visit even if you don’t go in the museums.

Interesting place in Gozo to visit

This was included in the very advantageous and recommended thirty day Heritage Malta Multisite Pass. There were some interesting exhibits but the multimedia video presentations were inaudible.

Opposite the Ta' Pinu basilica there's a big hill with a steep and (in places) rather worn path winding up to the top. It's quite a trek, but worth it for the impressive views across much of the island. As it's associated with the nearby church, there's also a series of statues representing the stations of the cross on the way up, and an amphitheater at the top. Some of it's a bit run down, but the views alone make it worth a visit, even if you're not interested in the religious side of it.

It's a nice spot to run to from Victoria. 8km there and back. The climb from the road is about 50m, and a few sections were hard work. But the view from the top was well worth it.

Really worth visiting hill. There are like 10+ statues that represents Jesus crucifixion while you are climbing and on top of the hill you get 360 view of this part of the island which is amazing! Keep in mind that if its windy it's crazy up there :) ps. Public transport is going every hour to this place.

If you're visiting the Ta' Pinu Sanctuary, then it's definitely worth climbing up this hill too. However, it's not to be undertaken lightly! The track leading to the top starts on the edge of the road, opposite the Ta' Pinu Sanctuary and next to their car park. Make certain you are wearing fairly decent footwear (better than flip flops) and carry water in hot weather. The track is rough along most of its length and steep in places. It zig-zags a few times and has the occasional very welcome tree for shade. The route is punctuated with religiously-significant statues that also provide regular excuses to stop and catch your breath on the way up. We saw several types of butterflies and small (harmless) wall lizards bathing in the sun, as well as literally thousands of small snails clutching onto the vegetation. Views are increasingly spectacular the higher you climb and panoramic once you’re at the top. You can see the whole of Gozo and even back over to Malta. Well worth the effort!

Really close to Basilica of the National Shrine of the Blessed Virgin of Ta' Pinu. Once there at the church, just cross the street and go up the hill. The view of Gozo is amazing, you basically can see the whole island - and also Malta. I really recommend the visit! And there are also several catholic statues up there.

Stunning view. Definitely worth ascending. But don't believe Google maps regarding the way up. Park and start at Ta'Pinu basilica!!!

One of the best Malta experiences a Christian can have is to walk the easy path and picture the 14 stations of the cross whilst overlooking Ta Pinu’s breathtaking church. Choose 1 hour prior sunset to see the sky lights dance as you reach the final stage where Christ ascends into heaven. What an experience 💍

I stopped by Sphinx Pastizzeria in Gozo and grabbed 3 cheese pastizzis, they were unreal. Perfectly flaky pastry, golden and crisp on the outside, with a warm, creamy ricotta filling that just melted in my mouth. Simple, traditional, and absolutely delicious. If you’re anywhere near Victoria, do yourself a favour and try one (or three). This place is a gem!

Really nice pastries only you get this Gozo..I call this best pastries made in haven ....best is peas fillings but the cheeses filling second to none. I tried both this will fill you up proper . Both my young girls tried the Nutella filled pastries which is the sweet version really liked it. Well worth trying..

We had a great experience at Sphinx Pastizzeria in Victoria! They offer a variety of delicious local snacks like pastizzi, arancini, and ftira — perfect for a quick and tasty bite. The staff were super friendly and took the time to explain the different local delicacies to us. It’s a fantastic place to enjoy authentic Maltese flavors in a relaxed and casual setting. Highly recommended!

The best pea pasty on Gozo and only 0.40€. Friendly and efficient staff. Try them, you won't be disappointed....they were that good, I had four!!!

The nice lady behind the counter helped me as I did not have any cash. She was incredible generous and sweet. The Pastizzi was a 10/10. Would definitely recommend!!

Best pea pistazzi I’ve ever had. Delicious! Very fast, straight-forward, no-nonsense service

I should have read the reviews before coming here, as unfortunately I too faced the poor service this chain is famous for. On one of the Saint George feast days some friends and I decided to stop here on the way back to the parking lot. It was around 11:30 pm. I was surprised to see pastizzi in the display that late. I asked the employee if these were fresh. She quickly became agitated and confrontational, raising her voice. I tried to amicably defuse the situation and said that I was just asking a simple question. She kept going on, making a scene, complaining multiple times that she was here working at midnight and had to deal with questions from customers. I later thought to myself that I found her point a bit odd seeing how she chose to move literally half-way around the world and to then take this job. She continued making a scene, so I informed her that I won't be spending my money there, and I turned around, and we all walked away. I knew what she was trying to do as I've seen this before when I lived abroad for many years. Its a tactic of a certain part of the world, where they make you feel that you did something wrong so that you feel guilty and spend more. If you are a tourist or a local who is in search of real local food then do not shop at this large corporate chain that has absolutely nothing local about it. Do not give them your business, and do not accept this rude and disrespectful behavior. If you accept it then this will be the norm going forward. You are better off shopping at a real bakery in one of the villages, where ftira is not incorrectly pronounced as "fatira". To the owners of this chain, if you hire garbage then that is exactly the type of service your customers will receive.

A wonderfully located and affordable restaurant off the bay of Marsalforn. The food is freshly made and the menu has extensive options. The wine is served in gorgeous goblets. The service was quick! Lost stars on food only as my beef carpaccio needed a glaze and the tuna tartar needed some dressing as well. But from what I saw at other tables, the food looked fresh. Excellent shaded patio as well.

Really great restaurant in a perfect location, we just had snacks and drinks in the afternoon, overlooking the harbour. Really friendly staff and quick service And they sell Paulaner wheat beer, a nice change of pace from all the lager on Malta

Beautiful spot by the water at the mouth of the Bay. We just had a light lunch of pumpkin ravioli with homemade pasta and the pumpkin filling from pumpkins in their field (amazing) and prawn bisque soup both with fresh sourdough rolls. Exceptionally good REAL quality food. The hostess was lovely and you can tell she takes pride in what she offers.

Absolutely loved our experience here, we’ve been looking forward to coming here for months all the way from Australia & we were not disappointed. Beautiful environment, beautiful people, amazing everything! 110% recommendations for families, couples and anyone looking for the best food!

We had an amazing experience here. The food was excellent and so was the atmosphere. We received a sorbet palette cleanser on the house which was the loveliest touch. The service was brilliant! I would highly recommend

Mediocre food. Cacio & Pepe was definitely not that, I’m afraid. Fish was ok, salad a few leaves and a tomato, but the wine was excellent. The lovely Indian waitress was the only thing that made us smile. To boot, they charged us for the ‘complimentary’ bread basket they brought without us asking. Small amount but hey, if everything else was on par we’d have been fine with it. Nice people but they need to up their game.

The atmosphere and view was beautiful, for the food it took quite a long time We were seated at 9 pm at 22:30ish the food came out. My mother and I had ordered calamari fritti, scallops and goat cheese which were from the starter menu for our main. To begin with there were only 3 scallops which In fairness I get it is a starter so I did not mind, but for taste, it was clearly not cooked well (overcooked) It was rubbery and chewy. As the calamari fritti they were just as rubbery if not more the smaller bits were a bit more manageable but not any better. They also offered us bread in the beginning, which we said yes to when it arrived We cut one open and took a taste. It was raw the taste was fine in the beginning but at the end, you get a starchy raw taste. My father and brother took rib-eye steak, and we asked if it included chips as it was not mentioned anywhere. It did not for a meal that is €32 I do not understand how you can expect someone to order a meal and only serve them a slice of meat with no sides. At the end, we were charged for the bread (so keep in mind it is not included if you go there ). Overall would not go again I personally bearly touched the food and ended up eating the last bit of meat my brother left from his rib-eye which obviously I was still hungry after

We visited this quirky little cafe after visiting the Citadel on Gozo. The service was swift and friendly. All the food we had was very nice and reasonably priced. A great little cafe to visit and enjoy a wide variety of dishes.

I’d say this is quite a local gem! 💫 The food was rather average, so maybe my choice wasn’t perfect — but the place itself has a great local vibe and atmosphere. If you’re looking for something truly Maltese in spirit, this is definitely one of the top spots to visit. 🇲🇹✨

Came here for a quick bite and some drinks, and I gotta say we left with the biggest smile on our faces. The terrace is beautiful, accompanied by relaxing jazz music that makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. Such a lovely experience, if we’re ever back in Gozo, we are definitely stopping here.

Both me and the wife had a coffee and a smoothie bowl each. They were excellent - refreshing and really tasty. Service was great, the people are awesome there. 10/10 would come again

I'm definitely come again. I've never been a good cafe like here in Malta. Food, service and atmosphere everything was perfect

I saw the menu at this bistro had many vegan options, so I went to try it. I had the Vegan Dark Chocolate mousse with strawberry compote and almond biscuit. Cafes need to offer more vegan options to meet rising consumer demand from health-conscious individuals, ethical consumers, and flexitarians. It is welcome to see businesses align with values of sustainability and animal welfare. This cafe has been running for 27 years! The decoration is like something from 100 years ago.

Nice little cafe good atmosphere and great service overall. Ham and cheese toastie for €4 around here is a great deal and tasty too! Would recommend.

Excellent food, homemade pasta fantastic. Also the vitello tonato. Huge portion of pulpo, very soft and tasty. Went there twice and were not disappointed. Always again. Friendly service, and good wines with fair prices. Thanks

A lovely little spot to dine in Gozo. We had a large group, but came early, and they were very accommodating. I would definitely recommend the seafood myself, but those who had pasta dishes were all very happy with them!

A late walk in from the ferry after 9pm on Sunday night. Expert Negroni. Delicious pasta vongole. Excellent pork chop Milanese - Perfectly cooked. Lovely service. Super wine list. Great value! Highly recommended!!! Can’t wait for my next visit… Five minutes from home 🎇

Absolutely phenomenal food and great, Italian atmosphere. I would definitely recommend to visit this place and taste their delicious dishes.

Fantastic restaurant in Gharb Very friendly owner and most important Very good Food and Wine there Can only recommend to try a dish there I Got the fresh egg taggliatelli with sausage and beff and drank a maltese redwine Fenici red. And as i bonus i got a shot of Hong Thong thai whiskey

Really small place with indoor seating as well as a small courtyard at the back. Courteous staff and nominal prices. Dishes were very well done, nominally priced and the portions were very generous. I would recommend the Sicilian fried cannolini. The only downside is a tricky location at a sharp left hand turn in the village of Gharb. Parking is off-road but can be a tight squeeze.

An Italian restaurant with high quality food, staff is helpful and friendly. We went there to have lunch and didn't have to wait for long time. Definitely a more formal place.
