TAJJEB! AWARDS
The best of Malta
2026 Edition
The very first TAJJEB! Awards are on their way. Right now, the most important work is happening at the table — one unannounced meal at a time.
Worth doing properly, or not at all
An award only means something if it's earned. Before naming Malta's best, I want to have visited, tasted and revisited enough places to speak with real conviction — not after one lucky dinner, but after a year of honest eating across the island.
Eating around Malta
Visiting restaurants unannounced, paying my own way, and writing each one up as a full article.
Going back
Returning to the standouts a second time, because consistency is what separates a good night from a great restaurant.
The first edition
Once enough places have earned their place, the inaugural TAJJEB! Awards will be revealed here.
