Michelin has launched its first Malta Michelin Guide. The new guide highlights the islands outstanding restaurants, breadth of cuisine styles and culinary skills located across Malta, Gozo and Comino.

Established in the late 19th century, Michelin has maintained its benchmark of international gastronomy for more than 120 years, recognising some of the greatest cuisine in the world. Readers can learn about traditional Maltese cooking methods and dishes, as well as the significance of how local ingredients grown on the islands have developed Malta into a vibrant gastronomy scene.

The chairman of the Malta Tourism Authority, Dr Gavin Gulia, said: “We welcome this first edition of the Malta Michelin Guide which signifies a coming of age of our quality restaurants. Eating out is a major component of any holiday experience, and with the growing interest in all things related to food, it is becoming increasingly important for Malta to maintain a high standard in its gastronomic offer.”
