Michelin Guide has announced the second Michelin Guide Malta 2021 today. In the released guide, two restaurants were awarded Michelin stars, and the number of restaurants that received Michelin stars increased to five in 2021. The second edition of the guide features 31 restaurants spread across Malta and the Gozo islands. Two new Michelin stars were awarded to restaurants named Bahia and ION – The Harbour.

International Director of the MICHELIN Guides Gwendal Poullennec said: “the last year has created enormous challenges for the hospitality industry around the world and our hearts go out to all those facing difficulties in these trying times. Our inspectors, like the restaurants themselves, have had to adapt, but we were very pleased that they were able to spend time on the islands and find two new Michelin Stars and 5 new Michelin ‘Plates’ to add to the Guide”.
