Following successful openings in Nice, London and Dubai, La Petite Maison will open in Istanbul, Turkey, early this month.
The venue is located in the heart of the Turkish capital, in the chic, residential yet busy area of Nisantasi.
"It is an honour to take La Petite Maison to Istanbul, which is one of the world’s greatest cities. It’s a metropolis situated at the nexus of two continents, Europe and Asia, and one of the most ancient yet modern cities of the world," said Arjun Waney.

Brought to Istanbul by Waney, the restaurant will be operated by a joint venture with local Turkish partners.
Designed by interior architecture firm Sagrada and lighting designer Thierry Dreyfus, the new restaurant promises to deliver a blend of French Riviera flavours, culture and atmosphere to the city of Istanbul.
The new location features exceptionally high ceilings, a dedicated bar area as well as a 200 square metres landscaped terrace. Designed in the spirit of a “jardin à la française” (formal French garden) the terrace is comprised of intimate and refined lounge areas including a stone fireplace in the style of the Renaissance French castles.
La Petite Maison Istanbul's executive chef is Liam Smith-Laing who previously worked at La Petite Maison in London and in Moscow. Under the direction of general manager Olivier Lavigne du Cadet, La Petite Maison, Istanbul will feature a menu reflecting the London and Dubai’s restaurants offer, with a twist of local Turkish flavours.
La Petite Maison in Dubai was recently awarded 81st spot in the world's top 100 restaurants.
