ABOUT

Dalida is a restaurant that is inspired by the genuine hospitality, fresh ingredients, familiar flavors, and deep culture of the Eastern Mediterranean. It's an upscale, full-service restaurant that offers fun luxury, elements of surprise, and the comfort of nostalgia. The atmosphere and vibe is elegant and confident yet relaxed. The restaurant is in the Presidio National Park, on the South Western corner of the Main Parade Lawn in the Presidio in a corner location.

WHO WE ARE

Situated in San Francisco’s historic Presidio National Park, on the South Western Corner of the Main Parade Lawn, Chef Laura Ozyilmaz and Chef Sayat Ozyilmaz are the Co-Executive Chefs at Dalida.

We built Dalida on the hospitality, culture, fresh ingredients and familiar flavors of the Eastern Mediterranean. Our food is best enjoyed shared across the table. The legacy of Istanbul, once Constantinople, is greater than meets the eye. It's the palace and the countryside, the business and cultural capital. It's a little Turkish, a little Greek, Armenian, Jewish, Arabic and Persian. From the Eastern-most to the Western-most point of the Western world, we tell a story of an Istanbul that could have been, a story of the Eastern Mediterranean that manifests itself in San Francisco, a city also built on seven hills, one that welcomes, empowers and celebrates all that want to be here.

To us, a great flavor is like a magnet. An occasion on its own that brings people together. A delightfully curated way of expression. A melting pot of love, life and laughter. A little touch of nostalgia and a whole bunch of inspiration. From imagination to bon appetits.

Where familiarity meets creativity. Which is that Dalida is all about.
