La Petite Maison
An elegant restaurant with a Cote d'Azur feel serving a mix of southern French and Italian cuisine
Opened in 2010 as one of the most anticipated restaurants in Dubai, LPM sits in Gate Village, in the Dubai International Financial Center, surrounded by art galleries, high-end shopping, Christie’s auction house, and hotels such as The Ritz-Carlton and Four Seasons.
With an aim to redefine Italian cuisine, the gastronomy masterfully replaces rich heavy flavours that depended on the use of excessive butter and cream, with elements of Niçoise food, olive oil, tomatoes and more to create a cuisine that is light, healthy and deliciously palatable.
LPM Dubai differs from other LPMs in its scale—some rather mischievously refer to it as ‘La Grande Maison’. It is a place of crackling energy that retains a somewhat conspiratorial feel, certainly there is nowhere in Dubai quite like it. The cocktail bar, taking up nearly all of one wall, is quite a destination in its own right.
