Ritmo
Small plates and cocktails from a Michelin-starred kitchen in a 1960s Etiler villa
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed March 2026
Chef Cenk Debensason, trained at Institut Paul Bocuse in Lyon, runs the Michelin-starred Arkestra complex from a restored 1960s villa in Etiler. Ritmo is the accessible sibling: 32 covers, mirrored ceilings, and a menu of inventive small plates like oysters with champagne sabayon, beef tartare with gochujang, and churros with togarashi chocolate sauce.
Editor's Tip
The accessible entry point to a Michelin-starred kitchen. Small plates let you taste the range without committing to the full tasting menu at Arkestra.
