According to the popular foodie blog ‘Asher & Lyric’ Malta was named as the top 16 city for foodies to visit in 2023 out of a whopping 150 cities.

The blog calculated the rankings by looking into the number of Michelin starred restaurants, number of world’s best restaurants, the types of national cuisine represented, the cost of a mid-range meal for two and the number of restaurants per city population.
