Since the start of the millennium, The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo has become a household name. The cornerstone on which The Definitive(ly) Good Guide Co. Ltd was founded, director Lisa Grech had identified a gap in the market for unbiased popular opinion on where to eat out and have a memorable dining experience.

Its popular survey, which runs annually throughout September, has gone from strength to strength, since transitioning online in recent years.

Five fantastic prizes this year have served as an added incentive to diners out to take the time to rate their experiences and shape the future of Malta’s most renowned restaurant guide.

The winner of this year’s Definitive(ly) Good Guide restaurant survey – Joanna Pisani, was thrilled to discover that rating the highest number of restaurants and adding comments from her personal experiences had won her a luxury weekend break, on a bed and breakfast basis, at the Westin Dragonara Resort, St Julian’s.

Stephanie Vassallo won a one-hour ride in a Route 66 Hummer limousine with free-flowing prosecco, by bagging second place among the many restaurant survey participants. Dical House presented a leather wine set and sparkling wine, worth €300 to Jayne Wood who came third.

The fourth and fifth runners-up, Maria Grech Gerada and Sheena Mifsud respectively, both won a €100 voucher to spend on Mirachem wines and Riedel glassware.

This year saw a record number of participants who took part in the online survey. In all, 2,368 people filled in the questionnaire, dining out an average of twice a week, resulting in 246,272 dining experiences a year. Food aficionados are invited to reserve their place at the annual gala dinner, to be held on December 4 at the Xara Lodge, where the award winners of The Definitive(ly) Good Guide to Restaurants in Malta & Gozo 2018 will be unveiled amid much fanfare.
