Dalida celebrates the hospitality, culture, and flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean. Menus are flexible, plant-forward, and designed to be shared. The team sources locally, reduces waste through full ingredient use, and collaborates with artists. Influenced by Istanbul’s diverse legacy, Dalida tells a story of connection — Turkish, Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Arabic, and Persian — rooted in San Francisco’s welcoming spirit. For this special 90/90 event, Dalida will offer a selection of Jacques Pépin’s recipes prepared with an Eastern Mediterranean pantry.
The evening begins on our beautiful front patio overlooking the San Francisco Bay, where guests will be welcomed with canapés and bubbles. Afterwards, we’ll gather inside for a seasonal, five-course family-style dinner served with thoughtful wine pairings. Chefs Laura and Sayat will honor Chef Pépin’s legacy by reimagining some of his classic recipes through an Eastern Mediterranean lens, using ingredients from Bay Area farmers and purveyors — a tribute both to Pépin’s emphasis on community and to Dalida’s ethos of breaking bread and sharing across the table.
