Modern Turkish
The rooftop cocktail bar overlooks Istanbul's eastern coastline, which makes the romantic-dinner crowd easy to understand. Down below, this is a modern Turkish restaurant where the chef draws from Yörük, Kurdish, and other regional traditions, running them through a wood-fired oven and whatever technique feels right. The menu wanders confidently, and the room hums with the energy of a place that knows it has a good view and good food to back it up.
