Get Directions

Relaxed restaurant with a Cote d'Azur feel serving a mix of southern French and Italian cuisine.

La Petite Maison brings the spirit of the French Riviera - unpretentious, ingredient-led, and unapologetically sun-drenched - to DIFC. The menu is built around Niçoise and Provençal cooking: burrata with heritage tomatoes, sea bass en croûte de sel, socca, slow-cooked lamb. Every dish reads simply on the page and tastes precisely right. The wine list leans heavily French and the room is effortlessly chic without trying too hard. It attracts a loyal mixed crowd of DIFC professionals, visiting Europeans, and Dubai residents who return regularly for the consistency. The terrace on a cool evening is one of the better outdoor dining experiences in the city. LPM rewards those who eat modestly and well over those who over-order. A knowing shorthand in Dubai circles - everyone who loves it just calls it LPM.
