Welcome to MELA AI!

Restaurants matter. The meals you choose shape how you feel, what you accomplish, and how long you thrive. Yet finding genuinely healthy dining options in Malta can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack.

That’s what we solve.

MELA AI Your Guide to Healthy Eating in Malta

MELA AI is Malta’s Eating and Longevity Authority. We’ve built the most comprehensive directory of healthy restaurants across the island, certified the establishments that truly prioritize your wellbeing, and connected food-conscious people with the dining experiences they deserve.

What Sets Us Apart

1. MELA Index Certification

Not all “healthy restaurants” are created equal. Our MELA Index certifies establishments that meet rigorous standards: transparent nutrition information, ingredient quality, cooking methods that preserve nutrition, and staff trained in health-conscious dining. When you see the MELA badge, you know what you’re getting.

2. Real Mediterranean Diet, Not Marketing Spin

Malta sits at the heart of Mediterranean culture. We focus on authentic local cuisine that aligns with one of the world’s most researched, most-proven eating patterns. That means seasonal ingredients, traditional cooking methods, and dishes designed by nature to fuel your body.

3. Every Region Covered

Whether you’re in Valletta’s historic center, Sliema’s bustling tourist areas, quiet Gozo, or any neighborhood between, we guide you to nearby healthy options. Local knowledge meets modern search technology.

For Everyone

Health-conscious locals get reliable recommendations from restaurants that genuinely care about your wellbeing, not just your wallet.

Tourists discover authentic Mediterranean dining without the guesswork. Plan meals around real nutritional information rather than assumptions.

Restaurant owners access our MELA certification program, proven restaurant marketing strategies, and local SEO services that drive qualified customers through your doors.

Built by People Who Care

MELA AI was founded by Violetta Bonenkamp and Dirk-Jan Bonenkamp, experienced entrepreneurs with deep roots in education, technology, and business development across Europe. They saw Malta’s potential as a Mediterranean diet haven and decided to build the infrastructure to match that promise.

This isn’t corporate food marketing. This is about helping real people make choices that matter for their health, their families, and their futures.
