| Last reviewed: Jun 2026 Chef Deniz Erinc leads the kitchen at this Michelin Guide restaurant-bar inside a century-old Karaköy building where the walls double as a rotating art gallery. The kitchen delivers bold, confident flavors through seasonal menus, while the cocktail program matches the food's ambition. Since 2022, Aseka has proven its staying power without becoming a cliche.
Editor's Tip
The art on the walls changes regularly, so does the menu. Both are worth paying attention to.
