Got there early so could read all exhibits and get around without too many people. Initial building is nice and lots of interesting exhibits that bring the temple to life. Super easy to get around. Really worthwhile visit.

The temple was smaller than expected, so don't have expectations based on the name 😄 The small museum that you enter first is quite interesting, but there were two guided companies at the same time as us and they were loud and took a lot of space, so we had to go back to the museum afterwards to see the rest. If you want to get a feel of the place, set aside time to just be there (and maybe wait for guided tours to move on). If you are lucky and can be in one of the temple areas alone, you can better get a sense of the energy and history of the place. You can easily get through it in less than an hour, but if you have time, just enjoy the surroundings and the magical sensation of a temple older than the pyramids.

Very interesting megalithic/neolithic site, not a far drive from Victoria. Available drop off with the hop on hop off tour. Entry is €10 per person. A couple of toilets on site near entry and exit. The museum portion is short and sweet but still very interesting with many artifacts from this site and others around Gozo. Some scaffolding still in place supporting the structure but the site is still mostly visible. Well worth a visit.

Oldest free standing manmade structures in the world! A thousand years older than the pyramids of Egypt! Excellent museum. Self guided tour around the walls

Exceeded our expectations. The entrance looked very modest but the exhibition of very early artefacts was stunningly beautiful and impressive. It's hard to imagine that so much creative and functional workmanship can be achieved without the use of metal implements. Even more surprising and impressive was the construction of the multi-chambered building on the site. Quite how this was achieved in an age of low-tech is a mystery. The staff were polite and very helpful. The gift shop was well stocked with an eclectic mix of quality souvenirs, publications etc and (of course) the usual tasteless crap un the budget cost range. Whilst our visit was overall a positive experience, it was somewhat marred by the large tour parties with loud group leaders. To be avoided! Suggested visit duration - not less than an hour. Highly recommended.

Worth a visit. We hired E bikes to get there from the port, as part of a day tour on or own. About 17 mins. Went in Oct. Still busy but pleasant numbers. Wether temp perfect.

TBH, not as preserved as those on Malta but still fascinating. Hit and miss if you avoid the tourist busses. Staff are very nice. They let us come back as we got rained out. They have a nice kids room with lots of activities for the little lovlies

With a little hike, you can see such gorgeous view. Pick a less windy day, go to Gozo! Would be nice to watch sunset here as well.

Wow! The view is priceless. You can either come from Ta' Ċenċ (10 minutes on foot from the bus stop), or you can take a beautiful 3h hike from Mgarr (which we did and it was the highlight of our stay I Malta). The cliffs are just stunning.

We went to see the sunset there and it was incredible.

Beautiful. It was a reminder of the Cliffs of Moher at home - but better weather

Difficult to find the way - somehow after the parking lot of the spa hotel just going in the direction to the cliffs

Very nice place if you like nature and hiking. My partner and I witnessed the sunset in November, it was windy but gorgeous. I'm afraid of heights, but I managed to walk fine, but cautiously. Do keep in mind: -if you want to see the sunset, do get there ahead of time!! (as you have might have to cross privately properties) -it might not be easy to get to the cliffs (you might need to cross private property) -if you are afraid of heights, the cliffs and views might be too much/frightening

Absolutely incredible. I would recommend having a taxi bring you hear as it is probably a 15 minutes walk from the closest bus stop before you see any cliffs. The views are amazing I’ve never seen anything like it. A must visit while in Gozo.

It's a smallish beach split into 2. But it is sand and easy to walk into the sea which was amazing. Warm and exciting waves. There's a couple of restaurants and public toilets and a shower. The bus was convenient but popular. I would love to come back.

As beaches go, this was one of the prettiest ones.I have seen here. The day that we were there.The wind was so violent that there was red flags flying.However a lot of people were in the ocean they do have lifeguards watching over which obviously ignored the red flags. The sand is a deep caramel color it looks like crushed up biscuff cookies!!! The wonderful thing is that it has facilities bathrooms and showers and a small restaurant which we did not try. There is a company of men that put up lounge chairs and umbrellas add a cost. Write outside of the beach.We also found a very\nIndustrious man that obviously used his land for a parking for a fee of two euros. There are also several outlets with bathing suits and floaties and things like that if you forgot yours. The road to get there was a little bit harrowing for those of us that don't drive On the left hand of the road because the streets are very narrow and they are two way streets!!! Put all in all a very nice experience. HowEver there are a lot of rocks in the sand so it's hard to figure out where to put your towel if you decide not to get one of the deck chairs!

Beautiful beach, unbelievable sea. Umbrella and sunbed rental €7 each, all day rates only. See it from Mixta Cave to appreciate it fully.

This was a truly delightful spot to spend a pleasant afternoon, where you could fully enjoy the entire ocean and the beach. The cave itself was an incredibly adventurous and truly unique natural wonder that you simply don't usually encounter at your typical beach. We are genuinely grateful that we took the time to go take a look up there and spend time at the beach.

A beautiful sandy beach. Definitely worth the effort to get there. Umbrellas and chairs for rent. Public showers and bathrooms are available.

Lovely place to swim. The watter is shallow for maybe 10 metres, but always pay attention. Can be crowded sometimes and the sunbeds and umbrellas are going for around 7 euro each.

Beautiful sandy beach iconic.....too many rocks and stones in sea - surely can be removed to enjoy it better. Now with showers and good public toilets. Good kiosks too

Echoing many other comments. Hole in the wall, traditional. Cash only. >30 min wait time (can order by phone, but might be hard for visitor). Takeaway only (consider driving to a park to eat). A real hidden gem away from many tourists spot. Not *the* best pizza I’ve ever had but it was authentically local. Feels like the walls have stories to tell. Nice experience even if it’s a one woman operation who can be quite terse.

If you’re looking to try something a bit different, you should definitely check out the Ftira pizza. There’s a great variety to choose from, and the ingredients are top quality – fresh and well put together. Just keep in mind it takes around 30 minutes after placing your order, but it’s absolutely worth the wait. The texture and flavour are quite unique – somewhere between a quiche and a pizza. It’s a tasty change from the usual and well worth trying. They accept cash or Revolut, which makes paying super easy too.

We’d heard great things from this place, so we wanted to go here for the traditional dishes. The shop itself is not very obvious, there was no sign outside and a beaded curtain across the door, so it looked like someone’s house. The staff were not very friendly, and didn’t acknowledge us until we waved them over to the desk. Regarding the food itself, personally I didn’t like it - and that’s my personal taste, nothing to do with the bakery. We had the ‘Local Cheese’ and ‘Maxokk Special’. The local cheese was nice but just tasted like a cheesy omelette. The ‘special’ had an odd fishy taste to it, even though there wasn’t any fish on it. Once you order, you need to wait 30 minutes for the dishes to be made, so find a nearby bar for a drink whilst you wait! I think the Maltese dish is worth a try, but unfortunately, don’t go into it with high hopes.

Very small and local place, but the Ftira was exquisite. Easily shareable by 2 people. 30 minutes wait. One tip: since you cannot eat in, a good idea is to take the ftira somewhere with a good view in Gozo.

Nice food, very tasty. Great portion sizes. This is where the locals go so you know it’s good, worth the wait!

Very good, it’s worth checking out. If you want to eat there, you’ll have to sit outside.

A quaint little pizza place—you need to know what to look for, otherwise you will never find it. The pizza lacked flavor, the crust was gummy, and overall it did not live up to expectations. On top, I found the service to be a little dismissive and nonchalant to me compared to the local guests. I tried to order a drink, but she just ignored me so I guess I will spend my money elsewhere. Anyway, the atmosphere was nice enough. I asked my local friends who live nearby, and they told me the same.

I like the beach! It's clean and small but has all the facilities 👍🏻👍🏻

If the wind is blowing from NW to SE, this is one of the best beaches to be in. You can choose whether to stay in the more organised part or in the wild one. Plenty of bars and amenities. The only problem is parking, but you will find place on the steep hill on the way.

A beautiful beach, although a bit smaller, but very peaceful with only a few people around. The waves were a little stronger and the water was not perfectly crystal clear, but still nice. The beach is sandy with some pebbles. Nearby there are two affordable fast food places and drinks available, which makes it very convenient. Definitely recommend

It’s a lovely beach great for swimming and hiking it’s very quiet and peaceful

We loved this location, our favorite beach in Gozo. Would definitely come back

A good walk out of the town Qala and you will find this beautiful little beach. It has a lovely swimming area and great walks around the coastline. Plenty of water activities down here. Just be prepared for a steep challenge when walking back up , albeit you will get amazing views of the country side

Small white sand, pebbly beach, clear water. Next to kayak rentals and a small restaurant bar. Not plenty of people during the summer. No access to public transportation.

Had lunch here while staying on Gozo, if you’re on the island this has to be on your list. Great, uncomplicated food at reasonable prices. Also, plentiful gluten free options which are hard to find in Malta! Staff were friendly, attentive and the view is amazing. Great smooth music and atmosphere but not overwhelming at all, a group favourite all round. I will be coming back!

Excellent place for eat. I went today with my bf and we enjoyed so much everything, the food, the attention. I recommended it 100%

Delicious food, cozy atmosphere, and excellent service. The staff were really friendly and attentive – highly recommend!

Ordered swordfish and ravioli. Swordfish was very delicious! For the starters beef with mushrooms pancake was amazing! Caprise de bufala salad was very good. We chose victoria heights chardonnay as wine, didnt like that one… Fliegu.. Absolutely recommended ✌️

This place has an amazing view. We came without reservation but still had view table,which was nice. Ribs, pasta with seafood, grilled fish variations (don’t remember the name) also pork chops- everything was delicious.

Amazing! We had our 2 children with us (3 and 5) and the waitress we had was amazing. She took them to get ice-cream and when my youngest knocked his over she said not to worry and took him to get more. The food was wonderful and had great views over mgarr harbour.

We came here independent of tour groups and ordered from the à la carte menu. Service was a bit on the slow side but that’s understandable since the staff were busy with the tour groups that have lunch here. The food was amazing, especially the fried calamari. It was cooked so well that the calamari seemingly melts in your mouth. Loved the savoury mussels too!

Food was good, not great. Pasta lacked a little bit of flavor. However, good service and atmosphere. Fair prices!

A really excellent Gozitan restaurant in Qala - good selection of food and appropriately priced with large portions with bread included. Would recommend the Gozitan starter platter, fried rabbit with mixed vegetables and pasta dishes. Would recommend a lunchtime booking on a Sunday if you wished to dine inside.

We came here as we toured beautifly island of Gozo. Village Il-Qala is so small and pretty, and this restaurant is amazing and on great location, just in front of the church. The view is amazing, the stuff are so kind and the food is the best. We wanted to try traditionaly rabbit dish, and I’m so glade that we try it here. Prices are also good, we paid 55euros for dinner for two, with coffee, 3 sodas, starters, two main dish, and dessert. They also bring us some homemade bread and cheese with tomatoes and herbs to spread it on. Everything was perfect.

A cozy restaurant in Qala, Gozo. Food was awesome and the atmosphere was perfect, the fact that it is located in the square and all the tables around the place gives it a super cool vibe. Food was just perfect and the service was exceptional. Honestly, I was expecting my food to have a bit of a delay because they were full capacity. I recommend it and I will definitely go back there every time I am in Gozo.

I spent few days in Qala and this has been my place to go for dinner. I had rabbit stew, seabass and the goat cheese and walnuts rolls. I enjoyed each of the dishes. It is very well priced for the quantity of food you get and the quality of it. Definitely if I come back to Qala, I will visit again this restaurant.

Very good restaurant in a cute town/square. It looks like there’s 2 separate restaurants but they are one and the same. We had fried calamari, pot of mussels, and vegan porcini and truffle ravioli, with some white and rose local wine. Calamari was great… my favourite was the pot of mussels… amazing sauce, dipped the good local bread in it, couldn’t get enough! The Raviolis were also fresh and very tasty… however I would not put the caramelized onions on top, they make the sauce too sweet and oily. They would be amazing just plain topped with some pine nuts, herbs, and white wine sauce. Attentive staff, good service. I recommend this place!!!

Great menu combining modern and traditional dishes and very reasonable prices. Joshua makes awesome cocktails and his mum is the chef. Each time I visit, many times now, I am never disappointed

Tremendous find a few mins off the ferry. Lovely pastry, excellent bread and a delicious pastizz to boot. Friendly service for us visitors. Genuine local spot. Really cheap (€5 for 6x small pastries, loaf of bread and a pastizz). There is a small playground a couple of meters up the road, perfect for kids. Card payment possible.

Overrated, you have to wait a big line to get worst breakfast ever. I asked for chicken pie and got chicken with pork bbq pizza. A lot of fly's inside sitting on baked goods. And not most respectful locals go there.

This is one of the last few traditional bakeries on the island. It’s easy to find as it’s on one of the villages’ main roads and there are always some people waiting outside for the next fresh oven bake. You will find lots to choose from, they have all sorts of local bread, pastries, etc. It’s a family-run bakery that goes back generations and they’re very passionate about their products. They have frozen goods that can be baked back at home, local type pizza and a vast variety of cakes including seasonal traditional pastries. Not a good shop to visit if you are weight watching.

Absolutely amazing, the bezt Bakery ive ever tried, all the staff where so friendly and explained what everything way and the food was to die for! Absolutely incredible!

This is an absolute local gem run by locals who care. Grabbed some super fresh and huge Ftira sandwiches for a cheap 3euros to go. Worth taking a detour from the tourist mess that is Victoria. The ambiance was super homely and locals were coming in and out around lunch time to grab loaves of fresh bread. You can see the team making it right there in front of you behind the counter! Cannot recommend enough.

Great place, delicious pastries, cookies and ftira. Been there every day during out stay in Gozo

A great bakery serving a wide variety of bread and baked goods. Prices much more reasonable than at tourist sites

Absolutely loved the experience here! We had a reservation and got a beautiful table by the sea, the ambiance was perfect. The spaghetti with lobster was amazing, and the seafood platter was super fresh and full of flavor. Service was excellent, the staff were very friendly and helpful. Highly recommend this place for a special dinner!

Amazing dining experience by the Bay! You can choose your fresh fish off the ice, or even your Lobster from the tank. Highly recommend eating there, staff were very friendly also. Amazing views of the Bay if you dine outside!

Nice place on the water s edge. Food ok however calamari chosen for our mains where a bit tough. Had better in other places in gozo.

We were recommended this restaurant from the place we are staying at, and the food was absolutely delicious, would 💯 recommend this place to eat

Solo diners avoid! I made a reservation for dinner for one, as the place had been recommended by friends, and asked for a table by the shore front on the terrace. When I arrived, the terrace by the shore was mainly empty. Paul (I asked other waiting staff for his name for reasons explained below), the manager / maitre d, gave me the option of either the table exactly by the entrance to the terrace, or on the other side of the street even further away from the shore (where no one was sitting) despite my clear displeasure at this. Frustratingly couples & even other solo diners who came in as walk-ins after me without a reservation (I know they didn't have a reservation because I was close enough to the entrance to hear all of the walk-in requests!) were given a better table; less in the way & closer to the shore. Looking back at previous reviews, it seems that other diners have had similar unpleasant experiences with seating arrangements, where they have also been made to feel unwelcome. The reply by the establishment for these reviews was to book in advance. In my case, I had done exactly that and was still made to feel unwelcome. The only reason I persisted rather than leave at that point was because the place had been recommended by friends. I ordered a bottle of water, a glass of wine, and the main course portion of the linguine kartell. I did not order a starter or anything else as I was still unconvinced as to the hospitality of the place after my earlier encounter. Paul took the order. Regrettably, the service experience did not get better, and the wine was not served despite the straightforward order. When the linguine came, I asked for an update on the wine. They brought out a different wine to the one I ordered. Clearly, the manager was not on top of his game and had not even registered the wine order. Other staff asked about my experience after the linguine was served & I made amply clear my displeasure in view of the above wine issue. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, at no point did Paul approach me to attempt to explain or apologise about the situation. The experience put me off ordering any further items; I would generally also have had dessert and a coffee. The rest of the waiting staff were very nice and accommodating. The linguine dish itself was of good quality and had a good amount of seafood. That said, the surrounding restaurants offer an equal level of cuisine, and my service experience when I visited these other establishments had been far superior. My advice; solo travellers definitely avoid, and for the rest, be prepared to have a service experience depending on the whims of the manager. My advice to the restaurant owner: change manager / maitre d or re-train him in basic hospitality and etiquette, as he is letting down your establishment. In reply to Diane below: Are you suggesting that solo guests should be arguing with your maitre d to get a better table, or else be relegated to the worst table possible, with even walk-ins getting a better table?! It definitely does not make for a relaxing dining experience. Interestingly in your reply Diane you did not address the wine issue. In high standard establishment, when there is a genuine concern, the manager comes to apologise about it. This did not happen, and there was not even a hint of an apology from your end. Instead you conveniently ignored the comment and told me off despite the heartfelt and fair review. Regretfully my service experience ruined my evening and the food and atmosphere could not be enjoyed. If you cannot comprehend this, it seems there are bigger issues here. Thank you Diane. Your imperious reply, labelling a genuine and fair review 'void and time wasting', confirms how you feel about your guests. We will let the readers decide for themselves.

Come for the view but don't expect too much from the the food The pros : beautiful location on the water, food well presented. Grilled calamari was good The cons : taste is ok, but nothing extraordinary. Prices were on the high side, particularly the seafood

Delicious seafood, all fresh and well-seasoned. A lovely atmosphere.
