From the prep counter to service, from a single plate to a long table… Plates, kitchen moments and table details from the Antre Gourmet × IWSA cheese dinner by Pınar İshakoğlu and her team.

The order behind a single plate.
Moments before service, plates are lined up on the pass for their final touches. The single plate set before a guest is the result of an order repeated with the same care in the kitchen.

A long table, small details.
Bread arrangements, candles and flowers… The evening’s table just before the guests arrived, and up close.


Five plates, five cheeses.
Cheese leads every plate. Cheeses from Antre Gourmet, wine pairings by IWSA.
