Welcome to Ta’ Frenċ, a hidden gem

Ta’ Frenċ has been a haven for discerning diners in the Maltese islands for almost forty years. Internationally renowned for its exceptional food, sophisticated ambience and excellent wine cellar, the restaurant is a hidden gem just off the main road from Victoria to Marsalforn.

Once you enter the courtyard through the stone archway, balmy scents from the herb garden welcome you to this authentic, centuries-old farmhouse enjoying tranquil, picturesque country views of Xaghra, Zebbug, and the Marsalforn valley.

A summer evening might tempt you to take an aperitif or dine outdoors. Alternatively, the welcoming bar offers a comfortable setting in which to study the menu and wine list before moving to your table in the spacious, beautifully-appointed restaurant.

Having been listed in the very first Michelin on-line guide to restaurants in the Maltese islands in 2020, the management and staff are very proud that this accolade has been renewed every year since then. The listing by Michelin, the guide which is recognised the world over as the most objective, recognises the solid traditions, subtle innovations and award-winning food and wine for which Ta’ Frenċ has always been famous.
