Restaurants near Beylerbeyi Sarayi

Fantastic setting, service, food & drink. Bit of a pricey bill but for a special evening worth it

More than anything, I just love the setting of this restaurant. It is so beautiful. We arrived in the early evening and we left when it was dark. So we got to watch the beautiful scenery going from daytime to a nighttime glow. The food is quite good. We had very nice starters. The mains were good, but not hugely memorable. And our dessert was a little convoluted but tasty. I did like that. They brought petits fours at the end with our Coffey. The service is fantastic. Everyone is very nice and attentive. I’m planning a trip back soon with some friends in August. And I might even go on my own one day just for lunch. The view is so impressive. It’s just so calming to sit and enjoy.

The food did not come out together, including the miso soup, which was forgotten, and for my guest. I had my food too quickly and sat waiting while my partner had nothing for 10 minutes. The food itself was delicious. The view is incredible. Later, it took about 15 minutes to get someone to bring our check. There was only one other table there.

Authentic Turkish dishes, attractively presented with excellent execution. We dined at Atölye all three nights that we stayed at the Ritz-Carlton. Kebabs, roast chicken, pasta, salad - all were delicious with very fresh ingredients and we would definitely dine there again when we stay in Istanbul. Friendly staff who spoke good English.

Very lovely brunch but annoyingly, I was not allowed to even look inside the main building. None of the other Soho House locations have restricted me from looking at the interiors. Otherwise great.
