La Petite Maison is the home French Riviera-inspired cuisine with locations in London, Dubai, Miami, Abu Dhabi, Hong Kong, Riyadh, Limassol, Doha, Las Vegas and Mykonos.
LPM is first and foremost food-driven, and ingredient-led with fresh and light French Riviera-inspired cuisine. LPM’s simplicity is found in fresh Mediterranean produce, with dishes using artichokes, courgettes, lemons, olives, and tomatoes, alongside the freshest seafood, meat, and pasta.
The menu, designed for sharing amongst the table, is complemented by a substantial French wine list that includes an extensive selection from Provence.
LPM’s authentic cuisine perfectly blends with the ambience of each of its locations, which are renowned for a pared back environment reminiscent of the Côte d’Azur, framed in a light colour palette with accents of fine linens and marble. At all the restaurants, the gorgeous interiors feature the same touches with eclectic art and occasional "Belle Époque" accessories.
