Of course this is kind of subjective thing, but you just named some average (not terrible however) restaurants. Badass burgers might actually be best burger in Malta which is kind of sad though
Ta'Kris by the Sliema Ferries is amazing for maltese authentic food, much better than Gululu, not such a nice enviroment/views but food is better for sure.
Chapter One - best restaurant from what I have visited, I can guarantee you wont be disappointed. Zest is also very nice for Asian food. Venus in Buggiba is close to or same level as Chapter One, the Chefs used to work together before Hiram (Chapter one owner/chef) left to Paris, and he basically got taught by the Venus Chef (forgot his name). That explains why both restaurants are amazing.
Tarragon restaurant in St. Pauls Bay is supposed to be another amazing one, same tier as Chapter One/Venus, but I have never tried that one - definitely on the list for this year.
Last thing worth posting that comes on my mind - those french people do deliveries only, when you browse the photos few days back you get some idea what kind of meals they are doing. Much better alternative to restaurant deliveries (except couple great restaurants that still deliver like Zest, but they are like 3x expensive than those French guys):
