Mitte Karaköy
Art deco elegance in Karaköy's historic theatre
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Set in the ground floor of an old theatre in Karaköy's hipster quarter, Mitte has been reimagined as a spacious, light-filled cocktail bar and restaurant that's two parts French art deco and one part Keith Haring. Designer Sami Savatli created a stunning space with Italian terrazzo flooring, handcrafted ceramics, brass lamps, and a dramatic ceiling featuring 166 wooden blocks of abstract designs hand-painted with ink and gold leaf.
Editor's Tip
The design alone is worth the visit - that ceiling is extraordinary. Popular with the Bebek-Nişantaşı-Etiler crowd venturing to Karaköy. More avant-garde than typical neighborhood spots.
