• Mediterranean • Mellieha

We are a Italian restaurant situated in Mellieha. Since Mellieha is a small town which derives its name from the Arabic word for salt, we don’t think we could have found a more fitting area. The quaint town is an ideal location for a variety of reasons – no less for its tourist attractions. And what’s better than a cosy environment accompanied by food of outstanding value after a day at the beach? Not to toot our own horn, but our answer would be: not much. Staying true to our typical Italian demeanor, we always provide a service with a smile. The intimate atmosphere in our restaurant is appreciated by a variety of patrons looking for an authentic experience, and we do our best to be accommodating to families.

The variety of food available makes sure that both parents and kids get to enjoy their meal in a welcoming environment. Whilst making sure all pizza lovers are happy we have also created dishes that will enrich your meal. These include a selection of pastas and meats. A dedicated healthy menu for kids was also developed. The restaurant is also equipped with a dedicated area for children to entertain themselves safely. Our name is derived from the historically significant Westreme Battery that is located just around the corner. Built by the Order of St. John in 1715, this was actually the first line of defence breached by the French invaders in 1798. Over the years, the building was modified, restored and adapted for different uses. Today, only parts of it remain standing as a lasting testament to its illustrious past.

Excellent food and service apart from one server who was a little terse. Ambience was good considering this is basically an outside venue which is covered during the winter months. Very good seafood and some other dishes if fish is not your thing. Expensive but worth it. Try the Friti Misto; it's delicious.
