Ooh La Istanbul

Jul 27, 2014
General

The best flavors of the Côte d’Azur and French Mediterranean have landed in Istanbul, courtesy of La Petite Maison. With an interior designed by the team at Sagrada and lighting by Thierry Dreyfus, the elegant French ambience is highlighted by soaring ceilings and dedicated bar area. Outside, a gorgeous landscaped terrace, complete with gardens and an outdoor stone fireplace, offers plenty of tucked-away areas for an intimate touch.

Local is the focus, from just-caught seafood to a cornucopia of fresh produce including lemons, olives, artichokes and peppers — all showcased with a Turkish twist by Executive Chef Liam Smith-Laing (previously of La Petite Maison in London and Moscow). The restaurant is located in the upscale Nişantaşi residential area, and is open daily from noon to midnight. Menu highlights include whole roast legs of lamb with herbs and spices, traditional Salade Niçoise, and pain perdu with spiced ice cream.
