Our journey

From Lara to Ataşehir

2023
Antalya · Lara
Our first table by the Mediterranean
La'Vera opened its doors on the Lara coast as a bohemian oasis overlooking the sea. Flavours from around the world, a gentle sea breeze and unforgettable sunsets.
2024 — 25
Antalya
A growing passion
Menus renewed every season, a growing team and the inspiration we draw from our guests… The dream of the next step was born at these tables.
2026
Istanbul · Ataşehir
A new city, the same soul
La'Vera Istanbul welcomes those seeking an elegant pause from the city's pace in Ataşehir. The same care, the same warmth, a new story.
Tomorrow
The journey continues
Every table, a new story
We continue to share our table with you, and to write our story together with you.

Our values

Three simple principles.

The principles that guide us in every plate, every cup and every welcome.

Seasonality

Our menus follow the rhythm of the seasons; the freshest produce reaches the plate at exactly the right time.

Craft

Fire, time and patience. Every plate passes through the meticulous hands of our kitchen.

Hospitality

From the moment you walk through the door, every detail of your evening is considered for you.

Our kitchen

“Good food is like a good story: it begins simply, deepens with care and stays with you.”

La'Vera Kitchen Team

In our kitchen, the generosity of the Mediterranean meets the techniques of world cuisines. Seasonal produce from local growers becomes modern plates through the mastery of fire and time.

The venue

Our new home in Ataşehir

The bohemian, retro spirit of our Antalya home, with its velvet textures and warm wood, meets the modern lines of the city in Istanbul. Every corner is a frame of its own.
