one80 Izakaya (Summer Edition) — Restaurant in undefined

Ahoy food enthusiasts! If you haven’t yet anchored at Ember at Sea in Gozo, it’s high time you did. This floating restaurant, moored gracefully in the waters of Mgarr Harbour, has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once a casual platform with cosy sofas and cocktails, it has metamorphosed into a top-notch dining destination. And what’s so special about it, you ask? At least two things.

First off, it’s a floating restaurant. Yes, you heard that right! You can feel the gentle sway of the restaurant as it dances on the harbour waters, offering a unique dining experience. But even more impressive is the culinary magic that happens here – every dish is prepared over an open wood fire. There’s something undeniably enchanting about the aroma of wood smoke infusing every bite.

Let me start with the mussels. Oh, the mussels! They’re simply divine. Served in a sauce that’s as surprising as it is delicious, you’ll find yourself falling head over heels for this dish. It’s an absolute must-try.

And then there’s the seabass. Perfectly cooked, with the subtle kiss of smoke enhancing its natural flavours, it’s a culinary masterpiece. The menu is thoughtfully curated, ensuring there’s something to tantalise everyone’s taste buds.

In short, Ember at Sea is a gem worth visiting. Great food, a unique floating setting, and the charm of open-fire cooking – it’s an experience not to be missed. So set sail for Gozo and enjoy a delightful meal surrounded by water and yachts....

An absolutely lovely place and great atmosphere. Great steaks and decent sizes. The let downs were the bowl of mussels, or lack of.. as the shells were all empty with tiny mussels found in the sauce, and the long wait for the mains which didn't arrive together. By the time the sides arrived the mains were half eaten and...

If there were more stars, we’d give them. Such a great experience. Amazing food, amazing drinks. Daniela and the team were the best. Visiting here (twice!) was a real highlight of our whole trip. Can’t recommend enough!...
