La Petite Maison is giving its signature cocktail the spotlight this November, with a week of celebrations across Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Doha.
Running from 9 to 15 November, the third edition of Tomatini Week will bring a series of special dining experiences, guest bartender takeovers, brunches and cocktail celebrations to the French Riviera-inspired restaurant group. The highlight will be World Tomatini Day today, when guests can enjoy free-flowing Tomatinis and Tomati-NOs.
The Signature Cocktail
Made with Ketel One vodka, freshly muddled tomatoes, white balsamic vinegar and a carefully balanced mix of seasoning and sweetness, the Tomatini is finished with a theatrical crack of black pepper from LPMโs signature giant pepper mill.

This yearโs celebrations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi will also see the restaurant partner with Pure Harvest, using locally grown UAE tomatoes across its cocktails, kitchen creations and playful restaurant installations.
According to LPMโs Group Beverage Director, Tibor Krascsenics, more than 100,000 Tomatinis are served across the groupโs restaurants worldwide each year.
