At the bottom of a canyon so deep the sun only peers in at noon, a fisherman and his kin run an establishment whose menu changes daily. A chalk blackboard — not a card — because the sea decides, not the cook.

The blackboard menu changes daily. Order whatever's fresh — the fisherman caught it this morning. Steep road down, but worth it.

Film: By the Sea (2015)
Mgarr ix-Xini's deep, canyon-cut bay doubled as a French coastal town in Angelina Jolie's 2015 film, co-starring Brad Pitt. Filmed here August-November 2014. A secluded pebble beach in a stunning natural gorge.
Mġarr ix-Xini Bay
Mġarr ix-Xini combines sheltered water, a watchtower and rugged slopes. It is Gozo beyond the postcard bus route.
Mġarr ix-Xini Tower
The tower guards the entrance to one of Gozo's most sheltered bays and shows how coastal defence worked with the landscape.
