The owners of the fish restaurant Tartarun in Marsaxlokk are opening a new eating place at Smart City Malta in spring.
Wejla, which will also specialise in local fish, will seat up to 50 and will have an outdoor dining area overlooking the dancing fountain and the panoramic Ricasoli coast.
The restaurant will be within the Smart City designated food and beverage hub.
Wejla refers to a forgotten small boat used commonly by sailors and fishermen in the Grand Harbour in the 1900s.
Designed by Pippa Toledo, the restaurant will have a modern, fresh design with beautiful woodwork and a charming aqua colour scheme complementing the colour of the expansive lagoon below it.
Brothers James and Stephen Schiavone, who are behind this project, will be overseeing the operations and customer relations, while working closely with their team to ensure quality and consistency.
