Why we recommend it

Perched on the top floors of The Marmara Pera, Mikla pairs one of the best panoramas in Beyoğlu with a kitchen that calls its style New Anatolian. Chef Mehmet Gürs and his team build menus from carefully sourced ingredients from across Anatolia, presented in a contemporary way, and the restaurant holds a Michelin star in the 2026 guide.

It opens for dinner only, Monday to Saturday, with last food orders at 21:30, while the terrace bar stays open until late. Book ahead and ask for a window table for the view across the Golden Horn; if dinner is beyond the budget, a sunset drink on the terrace gives you the same skyline.
