Perched within the historic Citadel of Victoria, Cafe San Martino offers a distinctive dining experience with its commanding views over Gozo's rooftops. The restaurant is a favoured stop for those exploring the ancient streets, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner with a focus on local flavours. Its position in the heart of the citadel makes it a convenient pause during cultural discovery.

As Tomdan15 put it, "I ran across this little cafe as i was exploring the citadel on the hill and I ordered a coffee and the local rabbit."

Guests can enjoy a leisurely meal while soaking in the atmosphere, with options like the local rabbit stew available on the menu. The establishment accepts reservations and serves wine and beer, complementing its Maltese-inspired offerings. Its proximity to Ta' Rikardu, another Maltese restaurant just 75 metres away, adds to the culinary appeal of this historic corner of Gozo.

What Diners Say

"I ran across this little cafe as i was exploring the citadel on the hill and I ordered a coffee and the local rabbit. The food took a little while, but I enjoyed the lovely view and considering the location, I felt the prices reflected this. The equivalent of £14 for a rabbit stew seemed reasonable ..."
