The Fortress
About
The Fortress in Malta occupies Telghet ix-Xemxija in St Paul's Bay, on the northern side of the main island. The setting places it within reach of Valletta, Sliema and St. Julian's, and the buses that cover Malta and Gozo make the trip without a passenger railway.
Operating as a restaurant, The Fortress has drawn 383 reviews and holds a 4.3 out of 5 average. That volume of feedback points to a steady flow of diners rather than a passing trade. Its Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/FortressXemxija/ carries the restaurant's own updates.
St Paul's Bay sits close to Mdina, Rabat and Mosta, so a meal here fits naturally into a day moving between the island's central towns. Village festas honour patron saints with band marches, processions and fireworks, and timing a visit around one adds local colour to an evening out.
First-time visitors should expect a setting where Italian is widely understood and taught, a legacy of centuries of close ties to Sicily. The Knights of St John ruled the islands from 1530 to 1798, and the British stayed until independence in 1964, a history that shapes the architecture around St Paul's Bay.
