Firuze
Antakya flavors with Golden Horn sunsets in a 1920s Art Nouveau gem
Perched on the 6th floor terrace of the historic Nejat Eczacibasi Building (a 1920s Art Nouveau townhouse), Firuze offers some of Istanbul's most breathtaking sunsets over the Golden Horn and historic peninsula. The kitchen celebrates Antakya's rich culinary heritage with refined mezes and seafood, while evenings transform the elegant space into a lively celebration with Turkish pop music. Monkey Istanbul cocktail bar sits above for post-dinner drinks.
Editor's Tip
Best sunset views in Beyoğlu - arrive before 18:30 in summer. The Antakya mezes are exceptional. Monkey bar upstairs for after-dinner cocktails.
