A Turkish restaurant is coming to St. Pete’s Edge District
St. Petersburg’s culinary landscape is broadening soon with the arrival of Bosphorous Turkish Cuisine, coming to the Edge Collective, a new mixed-use development at 1246 Central Ave.
Fort Lauderdale-based PTM Partners, who are developing the Edge Collective, and DoveHill Capital Management, a hospitality investment organization, announced in a news release that the restaurant has signed the lease, but no opening date was given.
The Central Florida-based restaurant that was founded in 2004 has locations in Winter Park, Winter Garden, Lake Nona and Orlando. The St. Petersburg location will span 5,000 square feet on the ground floor of the building facing Central Avenue, and have outdoor seating within the Moxy by Marriott Hotel’s garden.
The building at 1246 Central Ave. is a historic space that was most recently occupied by Furnish Me Vintage. It’s being renovated and updated, with more air and light being added throughout the three-story building.
The restaurant’s decor will create an authentic atmosphere, with a warm color palette, Turkish paintings and handmade glassware. The menu features fresh salads, hand-carved Halal meat and made-to-order pides (flatbreads) and is created by a culinary team that includes chefs with Turkish backgrounds.
