“What is going on in Malta in 2026?”That’s the question Jonathan Cilia kicked things off with, and honestly, by the end of this episode, you’ll probably be asking the same thing.To celebrate 10 years of Lovin Malta, Lovin Eats went all out with a special edition episode tackling one seriously ambitious mission: reviewing every Michelin-starred restaurant in Malta.And yes, it was just as wild as it sounds.Stop 1: Noni, VallettaFirst up was Noni, where local ingredients meet next-level creativity.From mandarin leaf infusions to a dessert that literally looked like an egg, the experience was described as “quasi insanity”, in the best way possible.“This is how you get a Michelin star… if not two,” Jonathan said after cracking into that golden “yolk”.Stop 2: ROSAMÍ, Balluta BayNext stop: Balluta Bay for a risotto that left absolutely no crumbs.With porcini mushrooms, leek ash and oyster emulsion, this dish wasn’t just food… it was art.Dubbed “The Caravaggio”, it delivered bold contrasts and flavours so good “you might even murder someone for it”.Stop 3: De Mondion, MdinaIn the heart of the Silent City, things got seriously refined.A local pigeon dish with liver parfait and beetroot had Jonathan calling it “a literal work of art”, praising both the technique and the emotion behind every bite.Naturally, it earned the name “The Beethoven”.Stop 4: ION Harbour, VallettaION, is Malta’s only two Michelin-starred restaurant, brought out dishes that pushed boundaries even further.From raw rossi prawns to sunflower chocolate, the reaction said it all:“Oh my god… what is going on in Malta in 2026?”This one? “The Takashi Murakami.”Stop 5: Fernandõ Gastrotheque, SliemaA hidden gem with serious flavour.A delicate ravioli dish packed with roscoff onion and aged comté sauce delivered what can only be described as a flavour explosion.“Orgasmic,” was the official verdict.Stop 6: Under Grain, VallettaLast but definitely not least, Under Grain brought things home with a dish rooted in local ingredients and Maltese identity.With leeks, dashi, comté and precision, this one was all about balance, flavour and respect for local produce.Fittingly, it was named “The Dun Karm Psaila”.From Valletta to Mdina and beyond, this Lovin Eats special proved one thing:Malta’s food scene is on another level right now.And if this is what 10 years of Lovin Malta looks like… we can’t wait to see what’s next.Check out the full Lovin Eats Special out now!
