Le Petite Maison x Mona Mosly

LPM and Chef Mark Ramadan With A Very Special Iftar

Each Ramadan, certain restaurants adjust their pace to reflect the structure of the month, and in 2026 La Petite Maison does so through a collaboration that places Saudi culinary identity at its centre. For the first time, the French-Mediterranean restaurant has partnered with Saudi chef Mona Mosly to create a dedicated Iftar menu, bringing together the restaurant’s established language with the flavours and gestures of the region. Introduced across its Middle East locations, including Riyadh, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and Doha, the menu reflects a meeting point between two culinary traditions shaped by the act of gathering.

The experience begins in the sequence familiar to Ramadan. Dates and soup arrive first, establishing the transition into the meal, followed by a Mezzeh platter designed to remain at the centre of the table. Socca bread, fresh produce, feta, and quail eggs with caviar sit alongside Chef Mona’s kibbeh, introducing a balance between LPM’s Mediterranean references and Middle Eastern foundations. The structure encourages movement across the table, reinforcing the social dimension that defines Iftar.

Main courses continue this exchange. Grilled Chilean sea bass appears alongside ribeye steak marinated in shawarma spices, served with broad beans fatteh and seasonal accompaniments. These dishes draw from both the restaurant’s core repertoire and Chef Mona’s contribution, allowing the menu to remain recognisable while introducing new direction. The meal concludes with dessert designed for sharing, bringing together her date cake and LPM’s vanilla cheesecake, reinforcing the continuity between traditions.

In Riyadh, where Ramadan reshapes the rhythm of dining across the city, the collaboration positions La Petite Maison within the season’s wider landscape. The restaurant’s approach reflects its longstanding emphasis on simplicity and proportion, while the introduction of a Saudi chef establishes a closer relationship with the region itself. Through this menu, La Petite Maison marks Ramadan not only as a moment within the calendar, but as an opportunity to bring its table into dialogue with the culture that surrounds it.
