Gozo - break 15th/17th February, 2013.
Week-end break in Gozo between Friday 15th and Sunday 17th February, proved to be very enjoyable with quite nice mild weather, a bit of warm sun and no rain. The Kempinski San Lawrenz Hotel and Spa was also good in most respects, as well as our visits to various restaurants on this green isle.
A couple of set-backs were the closed main roads from Victoria to Xlendi and from Gharb to Dwejra with the usual lack of proper road signage to show the way through the maze of secondary roads to these two normally very popular sites. Traffic management in Gozo needs a lot of polishing up, it was bad enough last Summer with most roads including the main street in Victoria, in disarray, and road signage that led motorists in a veritable circle to the same place where one would have started at in the first place, but TM never seem to learn from experience.

Family dinner to celebrate my daughter's birthday, on the 1st of February, 2013.
Since our last visit and review published on the 2nd of November, 2012, this restaurant was inspected and adjudicated previously as well as after that date and was nominated as one of the top 30 restaurants in the Maltese Islands, and listed in "The 2013 WRMC top 30 Restaurants Guide". Taking into consideration the fact that there are some 1500 registered and licensed restaurants in both Malta and Gozo, this is not an easy task in itself to achieve, but The Arches was also short listed with the final six nominees, and awarded the WRMC 1 Silver Spoon Award which is based on the complete dining experience.
We have recently re-visited this restaurant to celebrate the 36th birthday of my daughter in a family gathering and were once again fully satisfied that this establishment's quality consistency is outstanding.
I shall not delve into the genera...
