Valletta Named ‘Europe’s Underrated Foodie Hotspot’ By Prestigious Guide Condé Nast
One of the most prestigious food and travel guides in the world has dubbed Malta’s capital as Europe’s underrated foodie hotspot to visit in 2023.
In a post and accompanying article yesterday, @condenasttraveller celebrated the sights and tastes of Valletta, taking readers through a must-book guide of the small historic city.
“Heavily influenced by Italy, France, the UK and North Africa, Malta’s Mediterranean cuisine is an eclectic melting pot of flavours shaped by occupation and immigration,” the guide wrote of our islands.
“Surprisingly, it’s the arrival of budget airlines that’s credited with elevating the dining scene here, for suddenly jet-setting Maltese were demanding a taste of the world at home.”

“The Malta restaurant scene, especially in the capital Valletta, is now among the most exciting in Europe and the arrival of the Michelin Guide in 2020 is a testament to that,” it continued. “If you’re heading to Malta this summer, here are the best restaurants in Valletta.”
Both high-end and affordable eateries that offer an authentic and insider experience of a destination were considered.
“We’re always looking for stand-out dishes, a great location, and warm service – as well as serious sustainability credentials. We update this list regularly as new restaurants open and existing ones evolve.”
Selected independently by a group of editors “and written by a Condé Nast Traveller journalist who knows the destination and has eaten at that restaurant”, the guide features some of Valletta’s most beloved restaurants, including our very own Michelin Star holders.
