✨ HighlightA very nice fancy restaurant for a fancy experience, i would not say it was expensive because i do not see that it was expensive according the the vibe it gives, in my opinion this restaurant offers high quality food, service and atmosphere, but it is not a restaurant where you go to get yourself full of sea food, i do not drink alcohol but i think it is a good place to have food with alcohol (for taste) but of course if you are looking for a sea food restaurant where you want to have as much food as you want with lower prices this won’t be the best option. I loved every single dish that i have tried there, so tasty and well made😋→

✨ HighlightRestaurant with Michelin stars, with great view on Bosporous. Very busy place, parking with 300 TL in front of the restaurant. Food is OK but expect much more. Service is professional and for sure the price is sky high. Nice place to eat fish if you can afford it.→
