360 Istanbul Restaurant

360 Istanbul is a well-known roof-top restaurant, pub, and nightclub situated in a 19th-century apartment building overlooking the old embassy row in Beyoglu on Istiklal Street. It has breathtaking 360-degree views of Istanbul. 360 is available for lunch and dinner and offers a contemporary Turkish meze fusion of traditional Turkish cuisine and foreign cuisine, as well as an exclusive wine range. Many of the main courses are our own creations, combining Turkish and foreign flavors, and are complemented by an ingeniously designed and detailed wine and dessert menu.

Banyan Restaurant

With Istanbul being between Eastern and Western influences, Banyan's slogan of "food for the soul" perfectly defines the Asian fusion cuisine it offers. Healthy Asian-inspired food is served on the top floor of a landmark hotel, with stunning views of the city below. Sichuan pepper steak, duck satay, and dim sum are only a couple of the dishes available to order with tea, fresh juice, or a cocktail. If dining inside or outside, the lights of Istanbul would dazzle you with this local favorite.

Beyti Restaurant in Florya

Beyti is a well-known meat restaurant with a contemporary architectural theme, situated in the Florya suburban neighborhood near Istanbul Ataturk Airport at Istanbul's Bakirkoy district. Mr. Beyti Guler owns Beyti and is likely one of the first chefs in Turkey to give his name to a meat dish, as “Beyti” is a rare meat dish. Beyti works in ten dining rooms and three terraces, all of which are decorated in Ottoman Turkish style. Beyti Restaurant is one of the best places in Turkey to get excellent chicken.
