Al Sale Restaurant

We went there during our holidays in Gozo because it was recommended by Michelin and… really not disappointed ! The service was very pleasant and I absolutely recommend the Crudo Misto ! The fresh raw fish was really amazing, the seasoning of every fish was just perfect, really subtle which keeps the fresh taste of the fish, we really enjoyed every part of it ! Special mention for the ✨lampuki tartare✨ that was insane. The cocktails are good, the wine too. As tourists, we were lucky to get there during a village festivity « Festa » which magnifies the charm of the dinner ! Thank you to the team and congrats to the chief ! A night we won’t forget for sure :)

To start with this restaurant really does deserve its 2 year Michelin guide rating. My wife and our close friend dined here tonight and I cannot praise it enough. The ambiance, the decor, the staff and of course the amazing food. We were pleasantly greeted and sat on our arrival after booking an outside table however the wind made that difficult but it was not a problem and they promptly found us a table inside. We started with Oysters which were fresh and tasty. The three of us then opted for the Scallop Gratin which while cooked to perfection the way they are served in their shell with the amazing cheese gratin, the way they are balanced on a plate of pebbles does make them a bit difficult to get the best. For main my wife had the delicious grilled octopus which was cooked so perfectly it was a joy to eat. My friend and I shared the fish of the day which was Sea bass or Rock fish and we opted for the Rock fish which was served to us by the waiter perfectly and not a bone to be found. A thoroughly amazing experience which we shall repeat again and again. The wine list was also a great selection of world and local wines. Highly recommended.

I was recommended this place by Leona from Taste of Gozo, and I'm so glad I was. The food is outstanding, with everything cooked to order making for a lovely leisurely evening. None of the hurried 'we need your table back in 90 minutes' stuff here. We started with a tuna tartare and scallops au gratin, followed by a salt baked sea bass (for 2) and for dessert an elderflower parfait and a honey and vanilla panna cotta, all washed down with a lovely Maltese white. I've fallen in love with Gozo and Al Sale is one of the reasons why.

Using our Michelin app visited this place! Very cosy and friendly staff. Had a lunch with local wine. Great service, amazing quality of food. Had a complimentary appetizer and some chocolate at the end! Must come if you like quality!

Excellent restaurant in the main square of Xaghra. Service and food are impeccable. Their specialty is fish cooked under salt, which is a must try, even if it may take a while to arrive at the table. Prices are very reasonable given the quality of the experience and food. You are going to spend about 50 Euros for a shared appetizer, a main dish, one glass of wine and a shared dessert. Highly recommended!

Objectively one of the best restaurants on the island, the quality of the food they use and the dedication in cooking and plating it from the chef really makes you feel the passion behind all of it. The personnel is well qualified and the location is well though. I personally absolutely loved it, I got the baked brie as a starter that surprised me and the Uruguayan striplon (medium rare) as a main, accompanied by a glass of Italian red wine, advised by one of the servers and it was a perfect match. Very well done to all and 110% would recommend. Would have taken more pics but I was too concentrated on eating the food ✨

Had an excellent lunch at Al Sale Restaurant in Gozo. The food was fresh and full of flavour, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was outstanding. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made us feel very welcome. A great spot that I’d definitely recommend to anyone visiting Gozo!

Al Sale really lives up to its accolades. Fantastic personalised service, with exceptional food. Unfortunately the set menu wasn’t available on our visit, but we were not deterred! Excellent food, truly deserves its Michelin rating and if you are in Gozo you must go. Yum.
