Tanya MulkidzhanovaMarch 23, 2015Worth it for the view of the city. Good atmosphere and music. A bit on the pricy side. The menu isn't big, mostly vegetarian, but has fish. Best for the drinks though, preferably in a good company.
John SjölanderMarch 6, 2014Obviously you visit this place for the stunning view of the Bosporus straight. The staff is very service minded. The wine selection is good - try their Turkish reds. Only the food is a bit pricey.
MaríaApril 3, 2015The choice of spices and herbs in their food and cocktails couldn't be closer to perfection. Breathtaking views and chilled atmosphere. A must in Istanbul.
Marta DinisJune 3, 2019What a restaurant! Absorve the fantastic view over Istanbul and enjoy the amazing food! It made our first trip to Istanbul even better! Try the local wines 👌
Garren KatzNovember 19, 2012Brilliant views,180 degrees. Great food and a smart vibe. DJ set the perfect mood (not over the top as we were there to dine). Try the sundried eggplant with cherries and spiced rice. WOW
Damien BénazetMay 8, 2013Outstanding view !! The location is great and the food very nice and staff alright. Very good drinks and cocktails at the bar anytime in the evening/night. I highly recommend the bosphorus martini.
MelforssFebruary 8, 2015One of my favorites in Istanbul! Food is delicious, view magnificent and a lot of people in their 20s/30s. Great atmosphere
Daniel VasilyevFebruary 12, 2023The view is absolutely amazing, but the place is absolutely overpriced. There is a pretty old-fashioned and (“Turkish” I would say ) atmosphere with a specific music. Also it’s pretty hot inside
- HeyTripsterMarch 12, 2020As an appetiser, you should try goat cheese fried in puff pastry with pomegranate syrup. Tarama and spicy mackerel Marin, shrimp with aubergine puree, ribs, tandoori, topik... Read more
Jon SteinbackDecember 22, 2014so delicious. the pesto sea bass appetizer was amazing, as were the kebabs. grab some wine and enjoy the view.
- Natalia GApril 24, 2013Very similar to White Rabbit in Moscow! Nice place for dinner - Bosphorus in lights looks amazing! Causine is light Mediterranean with local accents. You will not be disappointed!
- Nick BurtoAugust 27, 2015Amazing rooftop view of the Bosphorus and surrounds. Make a reservation or take your chances with apps and drinks on the terrace.
B KApril 17, 2015Great place for special days. View is great. Menu is great. Really pricy. Make reservation unless it is hard to find a table with view.
Nataly DauerNovember 2, 2018Fantastic view and really nice drink. Wish the service was good too to give a better review
M Aldoss ♏January 19, 2015Another Great Restaurant / Bar with Stunning View. Goat Cheese Brulee salad is the Best.
Jono HaysomAugust 6, 2014The views, the food, did i mention the views! Ask for a table upstairs in the VIP area.
Lisa StarbucksMay 1, 2015Free wifi:10203040. Go for the meat instead of the fish. Desert was to die for. Beautiful view but try to avoid the table next to the smoker section.
Jaime SanSeptember 21, 2015Views are amazing. They could improve the service but it is very authentic and absolutely recommendable! Food is very good! 👏🏾
Anthony GeersApril 25, 2013The place has one of the most beautiful view. The place is very complicate the locate the place. Close to Richmond hotel, small street going down, 70 meters on the right. Small door. 6 th floor
Arzu CülcüloğluMay 19, 2014It was our second wedding anniversary and we liked the place. Service was good, gentle staff, great view and good taste... thanks
Asif KMarch 28, 2013On a rooftop just off Istiklâl, by night the place is packed to hear the in-house DJ. At lunch you’ll find a half-empty restaurant and a view of ships on a sparkling sea.
Morgane CattinJuly 16, 2015Beautiful view and great dishes, try the chicken legs (Perfectly spiced 👌🏼)
Azar AmiriSeptember 24, 2018The food was amazing , the staff super friendly, the view .... well, you know ... to die for .....

Christina ButorinaJanuary 11, 2012Breathtaking panorama of the city. Seabass carpaccio and seafood linguini are perfect. Try leb-i-derya lemonade it's tasty.- Buğra şengünJuly 12, 2015The view is magnificent!! Staff is real friendly. This is my new favorite in Istanbul
Sem AlghamdiOctober 4, 2015Food, atmosphere, and view. All are great. Entrance isn't so easy to find.
Prices're good and The Boshporus Panoroma is BELISSIMO. And coctails and foods mMMMmmmm.Perfect
Bradley CheshamJune 19, 2014If they are booked out just ask for a table in the bar. Views of the Bosphorous are just as good ;)
Adnan ManjalSeptember 12, 2013Great view, beautiful. And the lamb with plum and risotto is equally beautiful.
Nilufer McDermottJune 22, 2014Fantastic view , very good service, very reasonable prices, will come again 👏
Bahadir AcunerJune 24, 2012Food was good except the sis kebab that was cooked with meat that really should be served in a restaurant of this scale. Make sure you understand that you have to wait in line for a balcony spot
Bre MillerJune 24, 2012Istanbul's trend for rooftop restaurants• Istiklal Caddesi 227, 6th floor, Beyoğlu, +90 212 243 4375, mains £16. Open Mon-Fri 11am-2am, Sat and Sun 10am-2am- carol huNovember 7, 2014Feels like a great adventure getting there, but it's a full fledged bar at night. Food was expensive & a let down. Better for drinks.
- Nick BurtoAugust 27, 2015There's another level above the terrace. If you're waiting for a table, take your drink up there.
Daria I.June 1, 2016Fancy, nice place to come for a drink and enjoy the view. Prices are higher than elsewhere but it's ok.
