Celebrated artiste for Victoria restaurant rebranding

Iranian-born singer and guitarist Nima Leon is to perform at the rebranding event for multi-awarding winning restaurant It- Tmun Victoria in Gozo on Wednesday.

"It-Tmun Victoria has been operating under this name for the past six years and we have decided to re-brand," chef patron Patrick Buttigieg said. "Everybody calls it Patrick's.

We thought we should do the same. Next Wednesday, the restaurant becomes Patrick's Tmun."

Born to Iranian actor parents but now based in Europe, Nima Leon (real name Nima Shirandami) has performed at leading festivals and events in the UK and other countries.

He has played The Savoy, Kensington Roof Gardens, and Cipriani. His famous guests have included the Brunei royal family, Boris Becker, David Coulthard and Frank Lampard.

Mr Buttigieg, a wine connoisseur with one of the most envied cellars on the islands, will also launch a book about his treasured collection at the event.

Attendance by invitation only; invitations may be collected from the restaurant.
