Worth 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.

Obviously 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.

The 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.

One of my favorites in Istanbul! Food is delicious, view magnificent and a lot of people in their 20s/30s. Great atmosphere

Outstanding 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.

Brilliant 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
Daniel VasilyevFebruary 12, 2023
The 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

As 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

Very 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!

so delicious. the pesto sea bass appetizer was amazing, as were the kebabs. grab some wine and enjoy the view.

Free 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.
Anthony GeersApril 25, 2013
The 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

Amazing rooftop view of the Bosphorus and surrounds. Make a reservation or take your chances with apps and drinks on the terrace.
B KApril 17, 2015
Great place for special days. View is great. Menu is great. Really pricy. Make reservation unless it is hard to find a table with view.

Another Great Restaurant / Bar with Stunning View. Goat Cheese Brulee salad is the Best.
Asif KMarch 28, 2013
On 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.

The views, the food, did i mention the views! Ask for a table upstairs in the VIP area.

Beautiful view and great dishes, try the chicken legs (Perfectly spiced 👌🏼)

Perfect place with a rooftop terrace, view on the Bosphorus & mostly local people. Delicious cocktails, must see
Liam RutterJune 2, 2012
Stunning views of the City and Bosphorus. Great food. Very large portions. Book at least a week ahead to get a table by the window.

One of the best food experiences in Istanbul. Friendly service, nice cocktails and food. I ll definitely come back!
Bradley CheshamJune 19, 2014
If they are booked out just ask for a table in the bar. Views of the Bosphorous are just as good ;)
carol huNovember 7, 2014
Feels like a great adventure getting there, but it's a full fledged bar at night. Food was expensive & a let down. Better for drinks.
Matroskin🐱 The CatMarch 9, 2019
Good: nice view, tasty traditional turkish cuisine. Bad: it's pricey for the food they serve. Result: go for the beautiful view of Istanbul, don't expect much more.

Amazing basil margarita, great view and service. Perfect for an after dinner drink.
Nick BurtoAugust 27, 2015
There's another level above the terrace. If you're waiting for a table, take your drink up there.
Stacy Bo BacyAugust 15, 2019
Great place at night for a view of the city.

Very nice! Soft lights and relaxed atmosphere. It is worth a drink
Christina ButorinaJanuary 11, 2012
Breathtaking panorama of the city. Seabass carpaccio and seafood linguini are perfect. Try leb-i-derya lemonade it's tasty.
Sem AlghamdiOctober 4, 2015
Food, atmosphere, and view. All are great. Entrance isn't so easy to find.

Been here 5+ times
Prices're good and The Boshporus Panoroma is BELISSIMO. And coctails and foods mMMMmmmm.Perfect
Bahadir AcunerJune 24, 2012
Food 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
