Meaning dream in Turkish, the venue fuses a vibrant restaurant, lounge and bar experience together, exploring the extremely rich history and diversity of Anatolian food, a cuisine that draws inspiration from a number of rich culinary traditions. Central to the story is the food offering, led by Executive Chef Colin Clague, one of the region’s most respected and celebrated culinary talents with an exceptional reputation having worked with the prestigious Burj Al Arab, award-winning Zuma in London and Dubai, The Caprice Group and Qbara. It will capture the cosmopolitan atmosphere of Istanbul, and will represent the history of Turkey through the food and ambience.
The founders aim to make Rüya the first internationally recognised Anatolian restaurant in the world, with the concept to be established first in Dubai before being rolled out globally.
