Weller’s Bistro in Ogden Now Open
Great news for fans of Layton’s Weller’s Bistro! The new Ogden Weller’s Bistro is now open for business, serving up much of the same great German-inspired fare that has made the Layton location so popular.
Weller’s Bistro Expands to Ogden with New Location on 25th Street
Jan Weller and partner Jessica Wolford opened the all new Ogden Weller’s Bistro last week in the Monarch Building space that was formerly home to WB’s Eatery on 25th Street. They and their team completely renovated the space, which is very warm and inviting and includes a gorgeous upstairs bar area.
Jessica will be running the Ogden location while Jan continues to supervise operations in Layton. Unlike the Layton Weller’s, the Ogden eatery will not serve pizzas. You may recall that before Jan created Weller’s Bistro, the Layton location was home to Gabor Bros. Pizza and Jan thought, well if we have a pizza oven we might as well use it.
The menu at the Ogden Weller’s Bistro is mostly identical to the Layton menu except for the absence of the aforementioned pizzas and at the Ogden location guests can enjoy Weller’s Chicken Dönor Kebab like you’d get at Weller’s Döner Wagon food truck. Stay tuned here for a complete review of Weller’s Bistro in Ogden in coming weeks.
