The New Anatolian Kitchen, elevated to the world stage.
As the founding creative team behind Mikla, we shaped a movement, one that redefined Turkish cuisine and positioned it on the global map. Working with Istanbul Food & Beverage Group, we led the rebranding and creative positioning of Mikla around a bold new culinary philosophy: New Anatolian Cuisine, a vision that celebrated heritage while embracing modernity.
We crafted the brand identity to reflect this shift: a blend of deep rooted tradition and forward thinking elegance. From the visual tone and messaging to sensory design details, every element was built to express the restaurant’s essence: grounded, contemporary, and uncompromising in soul.
This creative vision established Mikla not only as a top restaurant in Istanbul but as a global culinary leader, recognized in The World’s 50 Best Restaurants and honored with a Michelin star held consistently in the years since.
