It-Tokk

Perched in the heart of Gozo’s historic capital, It-Tokk has earned its 4.2-star rating from over a thousand discerning diners, who praise its unmissable rooftop terrace overlooking Pjazza l-Independenza. As the evening light softens the limestone walls, this spot becomes a haven for those seeking both authenticity and atmosphere—where the buzz of the square mingles with the promise of something uniquely Maltese.

Regulars flock here for the generous portions, from racks of ribs so substantial they’ve been hailed as “the biggest solid pile” anywhere, to rabbit stew, a local delicacy that’s “much like chicken, just with more little bones.” A glass of wine or beer accompanies these hearty dishes, which hover around €15-30 per head. As one guest noted, “the food is just brilliant—complete value for money,” making it equally suited to families sharing a feast or couples savouring a quiet night.

For the best experience, book ahead to secure a table on the coveted rooftop, where the views alone justify the visit. Open daily from 10am to 10pm, it’s a short stroll from Rabat’s main landmarks—perfect for lunch after exploring or dinner as the city lights up. In a place this popular, arriving early ensures you don’t miss out on one of Gozo’s most memorable dining spots.
