We wanted to have a nice family dinner. Our hotel recommended this place. We arrived as a group of seven. They greeted us at the door. As we climbed up to the elevator and onto the terrace, we were greeted by the old Ottoman atmosphere, intertwined with Ottoman architecture. We were thrilled. They then seated us at a nice table with a view of the Galata Tower and the Bosphorus Bridge. Everything was wonderful. They then told us about Istanbul's local seafood. We chose the mixed fish platter to try all of them. We opened the sapphire wine to go with it. The service staff was constantly attentive to us until we finished our meal. Finally, they offered us Turkish tea and Turkish dessert. We will be back next year. We had a very good experience.

We looked at the reviews online and it seemed to be the best restaurant in Sirkeci. It has the best view of Sirkeci, the Galata Tower, the Qyqsofya Mosque, the Sultan Ahöet Mosque and the Bosphorus. The best view and the best seafood. The Turkish wine was very nice. The service staff was professional.

Old Istanbul Rooftop Mezze Seafood Restaurant is one of the most pleasant places in Istanbul, where you can enjoy fresh seafood and traditional Turkish meze with magnificent views. The restaurant is located on the roof, and the panorama of the Bosphorus makes dinner here truly special. The seafood is very fresh: grilled octopus, sea bass and shrimp were especially liked. The meze is also excellent — fava, babaganush, hummus and leverek marina are served beautifully and have a rich taste. It can be seen that the cuisine focuses on the quality and freshness of products. I would like to mention the service separately: the staff is attentive, friendly and always ready to help with the selection of dishes. The atmosphere is calm and cozy, ideal for a romantic evening or for dinner with friends. If you are looking for a good seafood restaurant in Istanbul with beautiful views and delicious Turkish meze, be sure to visit the Old Istanbul Rooftop Mezze Seafood Restaurant. A wonderful experience, I will definitely come back again.

Old Istanbul Rooftop Mezze Seafood Restaurant is one of the best rooftop restaurants I have visited in Istanbul. The appetizers were incredibly delicious, and the seafood was fresh and perfectly cooked. I especially liked the dishes of squid, shrimp and fish, as well as the signature portakallı somon spesiyel (salmon with orange), which became a real culinary discovery. Dinner on the terrace overlooking the Bosphorus and the historic peninsula is a separate, memorable experience. It is especially beautiful here at sunset, when you can enjoy delicious meze and seafood against the backdrop of the stunning Istanbul panorama. The atmosphere is perfect for a romantic dinner, as well as for pleasant meetings with friends. The staff is very professional, attentive and friendly. Meals are served quickly, and every element of the service is thought out to the smallest detail. The cleanliness, order and overall quality of the restaurant were pleasantly surprised. Overall, the Old Istanbul Rooftop Mezze Seafood Restaurant deserves the highest ratings. Excellent snacks, fresh seafood, unforgettable views and magnificent portakallı somon spesiyel — all this makes the restaurant one of the best in Istanbul. I definitely recommend it! Five stars!

Old Istanbul Rooftop is the perfect place for everyone! We were here last night. Stunning views of the Bosphorus, Galata Tower and Golden Horn, cozy atmosphere and attentive waiters. I was particularly impressed by the presentation of the Ottoman cuisine dish in a clay pot (yes, it is disposable — it is broken when serving!). I definitely recommend it to couples for romance, and companies of friends, and families with children — everyone will find something of their own here!

Stunning view of Istanbul. Delicious kebab, wonderful interior, helpful staff. Some of the waiters speak both English and Russian well. The menu, by the way, is in 3 languages (Turkish, English, Russian) Pleasant music, subdued atmosphere, in general, everything is conducive to a good evening.

After the Istanbul Marathon, there were many different pleasant places to eat and drink. The budget of the establishments was ... Different) We happened to pass by and wandered in. The street barker was convincing, calm and unobtrusive. Great roof with a convincing view. Perzola fire. Tavuk shish cannon. Meze is common but edible . salads are made from high-quality vegetables and organically mixed with narsharab. Raki, sous, and Turkish tea are organic, timely, and plentiful. I recommend a place for a good quality dinner. Good health and peace to all!

Well, what is not the Beylerbey Palace! Magnificent, chandelier, sconce... very similar to Baccarat crystal. The interior caused me a special delight, as a neoclassical with elements of Art Nouveau. Delicious, not a bad view of the city, not expensive at the current rate. There are both local Turkish dishes and European cuisine. I recommend

We were looking for a place to eat fish in the evening with a good view. We don't like cigarette smoke, so we weren't looking for an outdoor veranda. We chose this restaurant based on reviews and were not mistaken. Delicious food, great view from the top floor of the hotel. Excellent service. We were treated to hot tortillas with sauces. Turkish tea. With the payment of the bill without unpleasant surprises. I highly recommend it.

It's an amazing place, from the very first touch, when you're greeted at the bottom of the door and escorted with a million pleasantries to the terrace. The food is amazing, just a gastronomic orgasm😀 We took shrimps and the national dish Fish testi - flint, literally and figuratively Very good service, nice people. The perfect evening for a person who loves being tasty, beautiful, and cozy.

We had dinner at this restaurant for the first time today. I liked everything: polite and friendly staff, large panoramic windows, stunning views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus. The cuisine is delicious, the chicken is a little bit let down, slightly dry. That's why it's 4, not 5. I wish you all the best and good health.
