HSBC Bank Malta plc and Global Payments Ltd have renewed their partnership with Definitive(ly) Good Guide Co. Ltd, publishers of Malta’s best-selling survey-based restaurant guide, for another three years. The guide, published annually as a printed booklet and on www.restaurantsmalta.com, provides restaurant reviews based on surveys submitted by restaurant goers in Malta and Gozo.

“HSBC recognises the importance of customer recommendation as a factor in the success of any business. The Definitive(ly) Good Guide is a great tool that can help customers get the best from restaurants in Malta and Gozo,” said HSBC Malta’s head of retail banking and wealth management, Daniel Robinson.

Over 200,000 individual restaurant dining experiences are surveyed in Malta and Gozo each year by the public, with 150 of the highest ranking restaurants making it in each edition of The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo and on the website.

“This is an exciting time for Definitive(ly) Good Guide Co. Ltd. We are launching our hallmark survey to establish the best dining experiences of the year, while also having just unveiled our revamped website. We are truly honoured to be associated with HSBC and Global Payments,” said Definitive(ly) Good Guide Co. Ltd director Lisa Grech.

Stephen Teuma, country manager, Global Payments Ltd, said: “We are extremely happy to support this initiative as we believe that it will incentivise  more customers to conveniently use  their cards for payments, especially in entertainment establishments such as restaurants.”
