THE QUICK ANSWER

For a celebration booking, start with Brezza for rooftop Muscat Bay setting, Essenza for elegant Italian dining room and Sense on the Edge for a terrace 293 metres above Zighy Bay. Every restaurant shown here has enough editorial research to earn its place; the wider directory is kept separate.

The rooms that understand a milestone deserves more than a sparkler pushed into dessert.
