📖

Full description

Rumelihisarı İskele Restaurant sits at the pier beside the Rumelihisarı fortress on the Bosphorus, serving fish and seafood with water views. Long-time Istanbul residents describe returning for years to its fresh dishes, and one reviewer notes it appears in the Michelin Guide, with an owner who is present and attentive.

Blue fish, sea bass and a strong appetiser selection feature in the reviews, though some find the prices high for simple orders. It is open from late morning until midnight, making it suitable for a long lunch or a sunset dinner for couples, and booking is recommended.
