Zuma's pop-up made permanent in Turkish hotel

Following the success of last year’s Zuma pop-up over the 2013 summer season, Zuma co-founder and creator Rainer Becker has decided to permanently open his restaurant at D-Hotel Maris in Turkey in June 2014.

The hotel is located high on the hillside of the Datca Peninsula where the Aegean & Mediterranean Seas meet. It has 200 deluxe rooms and suites, an ESPA spa, restaurants, bars, with water sports available.

Located on the hotel’s terrace, Zuma offers views of both the volcanic mountain ranges and the coastline below.

Zuma at D-Hotel Maris features a sushi counter and robata grill, a charcoal grill from Japan that Rainer Becker introduced to Europe ten years ago. The freshest fish available is sourced for the sushi and sashimi platters and signature dishes, served from both the main kitchen and the robata grill, include the jumbo tiger prawn with yuzu pepper (a Japanese citrus fruit) and the chilli marinated lamb chops with pickled baby onion and carrots.

The brand's own bar talent will mix creative cocktails such as the martini style Ama Mizu with fresh watermelon, sake and vodka and the Yoshi Nura with ginger, mint and lime - either with premium spirits or as non-alcoholic cleansers.
