Fine Dining in Bodrum · Contemporary Mediterranean

The coastal extension of Istanbul's Lucca brings Mediterranean cooking, cocktails and an animated social atmosphere to Mandarin Oriental's waterfront.
The Story
Origin
Cem Mirap extended the Lucca brand from Istanbul to Bodrum with a waterfront restaurant at Mandarin Oriental.
Philosophy
The restaurant treats food, drinks, music and sociability as connected parts of the hospitality experience.
Why Important
Lucca by the Sea illustrates how a locally developed lifestyle restaurant can move into the international luxury-resort market.
Differentiation
It exports an established Turkish hospitality brand rather than importing an international restaurant name.
Food Philosophy
Mediterranean cooking and seafood underpin a menu designed for a cosmopolitan resort audience.
Guest Experience
An upscale waterfront meal with a more energetic, social atmosphere than a quiet tasting-menu restaurant.
Design Philosophy
The sea-facing setting translates Lucca's urban social identity into open-air coastal hospitality.
Design & Architecture
Architecture
A coastal restaurant embedded in a luxury resort.
