Michelin recommended with Gault & Millau recognition, Akira Back brings Japanese-Korean fine dining to Istanbul at an international standard. The AB Tuna Pizza and omakase courses demonstrate why this is considered the city's most ambitious Asian fine dining address.

Editor's Tip

Michelin recommended and Gault Millau notable, the Japanese-Korean fusion is genuine, not a hotel-bar gesture. Order the chef's omakase at the bar rather than the dining room; you get the same plates with the chef in front of you. The tuna pizza is the marker order. Reserve for 20:00 specifically.
