#flavourbomb! 8 great restaurants for a family meal in Malta & Gozo

Getting your family together for a meal outside nanna’s kitchen is a pretty hard task: everyone has different tastes, and it can be difficult finding a space in which to fit the ENTIRE family. But, these top places work for everyone - yes, even your bacon-eating-vegan cousin.

1. Damiano’s Pizza and Pasta

If you’re looking for a fantastic meal with an equally fantastic view, give Damiano’s Pizza and Pasta a try. The freshly prepared pasta dishes and hand-thrown pizzas are absolutely moreish. Go halfsies and try both specialities.

Sunday lunch? Brit in the fam? Head to The Dubliner, in the heart of St Julian’s, where the Guinness flows and the roast’s divine. Dad will love this and so will you.

7. Legends

Legends in Marsascala is also a family favourite. A great spot to take your (actual) vegan cousin and treat her to a full guilt-free meal. This is also a super location for those with a keen appetite.
