Arkestra

4.3 ·

Discover Arkestra, a Michelin-starred fine-dining room split into three modern spaces. Spend an unhurried evening with inventive dishes, wine recommendations from the sommelier and well-reviewed cocktails.

📖

Full description

Arkestra is an expensive fine-dining restaurant with a Michelin star, set in a modern room divided into three distinct areas. Reviews are mixed but specific: some call it the best restaurant in Istanbul, praising the sommelier, the wines, the cocktails and the professional staff, while others found the experience uneven for the price.

A typical visit runs about two hours, and the late hours, with service until 1:00 AM on Saturday, make it a good choice for a later dinner. The 4.3 rating from 623 reviews and a clear couple and aesthetic appeal suit celebrations.

It is closed on Mondays and booking is advised.

The best restaurant in Istanbul! Very professional staff especially sommelier, top dishes, wines and cocktails. Modernly decorated space, divided into three parts. Unforgettable experience! Greetings to the owners, a wonderful young couple!
