    (Translated by Google) A restaurant with a very nice atmosphere and view. We went without a reservation and were greeted warmly at the entrance. I cannot say that I am satisfied with the service and waiters. They are not very aware of what is called hospitality and smiling faces. As a restaurant in Turkey, it is interesting to speak English to the customer head-on. When asked if he is Turkish, he says yes. The day before, we were at the Tuzla Fisherman's Shop, I'm sure we were welcomed better in that crowd. They explained each plate in detail. Here, the fact that the contents of the plates are prepared in a half-hearted manner also reduces the value you will attach to the food. The starters generally have rich aromas and are decorated with beautiful presentations. I can't say the same for the main courses, the varieties are boring. Village chicken is the plate that is put in front of you when you go to a barbecue. Grilled chicken, small potatoes, a little sauce. We couldn't deign to take a photo either. There is nothing that can be described as naturalness or simplicity, it was mediocre. The octopus was one of the best octopuses I have ever eaten, and the presentation was enjoyable. Duck topik and cauliflower elbasan plates were amazing flavors. It can be preferred for the starter and the view and atmosphere. The price for two people, 3 starters, 2 main courses, 2 glasses of wine is 4600 TL.

    Çok hoş bir atmosferi ve manzarası olan bir restoran. Rezervasyonsuz gittik girişte güzel karşılandık. Servis ve garsonlardan memnun olduğumu söyleyemeyeceğim. Ağırlanmak denen şeyin ve güler yüzün çok farkında değiller. Türkiyede bi restoran olarak müşteriye kafadan ingilizce konuşmak enteresan. Türk müsünüz diyince yeahh diyor kendisi. Bir önceki gün Tuzla balıkçısındaydık o kalabalıkta daha iyi ağırlandık emin olun. Her gelen tabağı açıkladılar üstüne detaylı. Burada Tabakların ne olduğunun içeriğinin şöyle bir yarım ağızla yapılması da sizin yemeğe vereceğiniz değeri düşürüyor. Starterlar genel olarak zengin aromalara sahip ve güzel sunumlarla bezenmiş. Ana yemekler için aynı şeyi söyleyemeyeceğim çeşitler sıkıcı Köy tavuğu denen şey mangala gittiğinizde önünüze konan tabak. Izgara tavuk minik bi patates ufak bi sos. Fotoğrafı da yok çekmeye tenezzül edemedik. Naturellik sadelik falanla anlatılacak bişey olamaz vasattı. Ahtapot yediğim en iyi ahtapotlardan biriydi sunumu da keyifliydi . Ördek topik ve karnabahar elbasan tabakları muazzam lezzetlerdi. Starter ve manzara ve atmosfer için tercih edilebilir.İki kişi 3 starter 2 ana yemek 2 kadeh şarap 4600 tl şeklinde.

    (Translated by Google) Incredibly good restaurant!
    Best view over the Bosphorus, dark and comfortably furnished, perfect for a date night.
    The octopus is the best I've ever eaten. Super delicate and soft.
    Service is also great, you can't go wrong here. It's just not that cheap 😅

    Unfassbar gutes Restaurant!
    Bester Blick über den Bosporus, dunkel und gemütlich eingerichtet, somit perfekt für eine Date Night.
    Der Octopus ist der beste, den ich je gegessen habe. Super zart und weich.
    Service ebenfalls top, hier macht man nichts falsch. Ist nur nicht ganz günstig 😅
