The restaurant fuses a lively dining room, lounge, and bar with breathtaking Bosphorus views from the 19th-century Ottoman palace. Executive Chef Colin Clague crafts contemporary interpretations of Anatolian authentics spanning Mediterranean to Black Sea regions, including the signature 24-hour slow-cooked beef short ribs and UNESCO-heritage-inspired Mantarli Keskek with truffle and mushrooms.
