We are proud to share that OyOy Restaurant has been officially recognised among Malta’s Top 40 Restaurants for 2026, as unveiled during the latest ceremony of The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo.
This distinction places OyOy alongside some of the island’s most respected dining destinations and reaffirms our commitment to delivering a complete, refined Mediterranean dining experience in the heart of Spinola Bay.
About the Top 40 Restaurants in Malta & Gozo
The Top 40 Restaurants for 2026 ranking is based on thousands of verified diner reviews collected through the 2025 Malta & Gozo Restaurant Survey.
Restaurants are evaluated using a comprehensive methodology that considers:
Volume of guest votes
Detailed feedback and written comments
Scoring across food quality, service excellence, and ambience
This makes the ranking a genuine reflection of what diners value most when choosing where to eat in Malta.
Being included in this list is especially meaningful because it is entirely driven by guest experience.
A Recognition We Share with Malta’s Finest Restaurants
We are honoured to be listed among an exceptional group of restaurants that continue to shape Malta’s culinary identity, including Michelin Star restaurants.
Each of these establishments represents dedication, creativity and passion for hospitality, and we are proud to stand alongside them.
