Step into 1924 İstanbul, the Beyoğlu restaurant that keeps the Russian émigré era alive. Order Eastern European classics in a hidden passage off Istiklal Street, surrounded by the atmosphere that once drew diplomats and film stars.

📖

Full description

1924 İstanbul carries forward the legacy of Rejans, the restaurant founded by Russian refugees in 1924 that became a meeting place for diplomats and artists. Reviewers mention famous past guests including Atatürk, Agatha Christie and Greta Garbo, and many visit mainly for the history.

The setting is a hidden historic passage just off Istiklal Street, with an interior that preserves the émigré-era atmosphere. Eastern European dishes sit at the centre of the menu.

At 4.4 stars and mid-range pricing, it suits a couple's early evening or dinner built around heritage and atmosphere.

Liked a lot this place. Also the greatest thing was the table of Ataturk with name: Sonsuza kadar rezerve. Also u can try the Russian salads which I liked most and retro atmosphere
