From 9 to 15 November, La Petite Maison (LPM) will celebrate the third edition of Tomatini Week across LPM Dubai, LPM Abu Dhabi and LPM Doha, dedicating seven days to one of the restaurant’s most iconic creations. The celebrations will culminate on Thursday, 12 November, with World Tomatini Day, featuring free-flowing Tomatinis in Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha alongside special dining experiences, guest bartender appearances, brunch celebrations and entertainment throughout the week.
This year, LPM Dubai and LPM Abu Dhabi will celebrate in collaboration with Pure Harvest and Ketel One, bringing together two key ingredients of the iconic Tomatini. Made with Ketel One vodka, freshly muddled tomatoes, white balsamic vinegar and a delicate balance of seasoning and sweetness, the cocktail is finished with a theatrical crack of black pepper from LPM’s signature giant pepper mill. Throughout the celebrations, Pure Harvest’s locally grown tomatoes will feature across the experience, from the cocktails served behind the bar and ingredients used in the kitchen to the playful installations throughout the restaurants.
“The Tomatini has become an iconic symbol of LPM’s playful yet sophisticated spirit, with over 100,000 Tomatinis served annually across our restaurants worldwide. For the third edition of Tomatini Week, we’re delighted to celebrate alongside Ketel One, the vodka behind our original recipe, and Pure Harvest, showcasing the quality of locally grown UAE tomatoes and the importance of fresh ingredients in creating our signature cocktail,” says Tibor Krascsenics, Group Beverage Director at La Petite Maison.
