Lunch

For a memorable dining experience, settle down for a leisurely lunch at Latini Restaurant in Victory Square. Located at the opposite end of the church, graze on Mediterranean dishes cooked by their chef of 15 years. Try the fresh Burrata. It’s delicious.

Latini, Xaghra

Dinner

Al Sale brings failsafe Mediterranean vibes along with the taste of close-by Italy to Victory Square. They offer good veggie and vegan options so cater for all. Spaghetti and seafood are the orders of the day with fresh catches delivered daily. We love their Risotto.

Drink In Xaghra

Boozey

Experience the perfect Gin at 73 Bar. Choose from their extensive menu (seriously – it’s quite something) and sup away until your heart is content. The great thing is, they not only know what Gin is but how it is served, including the glass. Bravo folks! This is what we need in Gozo!

73 Bar

Non-Boozey

Grab a coffee or juice at Coronation Bar and sit and watch the world go by in Xaghra Square, the perfect sunny spot for people watching and taking a break from exploring Gozo Island. They offer options for non-dairy plus an array of homemade juices to quench your thirst.
