📖

Full description

Orient Express Restaurant occupies the historic Sirkeci Terminal, the legendary last stop of the Orient Express line, and trades heavily on that heritage. Reviewers describe decor that evokes the glory days of rail travel, with stained glass and period details that make it easy to imagine waiting for a departing train.

Service is noted as welcoming, with a charming greeting at the door. The kitchen focuses on regional cuisine at mid-range prices, and the room works for a relaxed lunch or dinner where setting matters as much as the plate.

Open from morning to late evening, it suits a one-hour-plus stop.

Reviews

Lovely historic setting with many wonderful photos located on the famous terminus of the Orient Express. The decor transported you back to the glory days of rail travel and I especially love the stained glass windows. The service was great, waiters were very friendly and helpful. The food was average, nice but not…
