Vino Locale

Ozan and Seray Kumbasar are a power couple who run their business with total dedication. Her love of regional wines is infectious, and she gladly provides astute recommendations. Her trolley of digestifs is a veritable treasure trove. The chef (her husband) shares the same love for their terroir. What he does not grow himself, he likes to source from local producers. Every six weeks, his set menu changes in response to the seasons, which are the inspiration behind his sensual, sophisticated cuisine. His incredible salad is a combination of crunchy asparagus, a velvety pea cream, soft local goat's cheese, crispy fried artichokes and a fragrant herb oil. Radish vinaigrette adds a tangy kick that ties it all together – a masterpiece! At Vino Locale, the produce is put on a pedestal, with subtle details here and there betraying the chef's love for Thailand and Italy. The latter is also evident in the restaurant's decor, which is reminiscent of a trattoria. The art on the walls, the vibrant atmosphere and the romantic terrace all contribute to the infectious charm of this place. Get ready for a memorable dining experience.
