Newly Added Hotels

Lampuki are incredibly fast swimmers, a versatile food source and intimately linked to our culture. Asked to characterise the famous Maltese fish in both physical and culinary terms, Keith Abela cited these remarkable traits.

Welcome to MICHELIN-Starred Fernandõ Gastrotheque, where the cooking revolves around Mediterranean flavours, Asian influences and an impressive wine list.

It might seem odd to associate a term from art history with a blood sausage, yet this poetic description is entirely fitting. Once set to disappear from the dinner table altogether, this delicacy may soon be welcomed back by the EU – as a recognised product with a protected designation of origin. It would also be Malta’s first in this category.

Home-made cheeses, or perhaps we could even call them living room cheeses… Chances are you have never heard this term. Yet, like garage wines, this coinage accurately captures the essence of a unique category of Maltese cheeses insofar as the meticulous artisanal processes that give them their distinctive flavours and shapes take place in tiny living rooms. Alongside authentic farmhouse cheeses, they imbue Maltese artisanal cheesemaking with a distinct energy of its own.

A local product par excellence, Maltese honey represents the country’s history and culinary riches – and no mention can be made of Maltese cuisine without it being referenced.

In the spirit of the MICHELIN Star, the MICHELIN Key recognizes the most exceptional hotels throughout the world.
