Chef Seray Ozturk sources exclusively from Turkish producers, turning ingredients like Kes cheese and farmers' pasta into refined dishes. Orzo with octopus and lamb shank on handmade pasta exemplify a kitchen that respects tradition while cooking with modern precision.

Editor's Tip

Exclusively Turkish-sourced is a marketing line that here is a real one — the octopus orzo and the lamb shank on farmers' pasta are the markers. Reserve the upstairs window for the Galata view. Skip the seafood beyond the octopus; the kitchen's commitment is to the meat program.
