Osman Sezener and his team propose an original and cosmopolitan take on Turkish cuisine. Produce from the region takes centre stage and it is always guaranteed to be fresh and flavourful. The dishes are not overly complicated, but they certainly pack a punch. The chef skilfully draws out the intensity of his ingredients with a distinctively subtle touch. He grills prawns from local waters, for instance, only briefly, to ensure they reach your plate succulent.
