The story
Little House is the relaxed fine dining heart of Aliée, a destination property perched across the Golden Horn in Istanbul. The restaurant brings together Asian and Mediterranean influences under a philosophy of farm-to-table simplicity — local cheeses, fresh seasonal ingredients, and biodynamic wines are the building blocks of every service, from the morning breakfast spread through to a late dinner that runs until midnight.
The atmosphere at Little House is deliberately intimate. The bar area channels the warmth of a beautifully curated private home — cocktails are built on timeless technique with a modern edge, designed to linger. With capacity for up to 196 guests and a smart chic dress code, the space balances scale with character, feeling personal rather than grand.
Little House holds Wine Spectator's Best of Award of Excellence for 2025 — a distinction that speaks directly to the depth and curation of its wine program. Biodynamic bottles feature prominently, reflecting the same respect for provenance and craft that runs through the kitchen's approach to Asian and Mediterranean cooking.
Few restaurants in Istanbul sustain the same quality across all three dayparts, but Little House serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner without compromise. Weekend mornings stretch the breakfast service to 13:30, making it a genuine destination for a long, unhurried start to the day as much as for an evening at the table.
