Mitte Karakoy
Art deco elegance in Karakoy's historic theatre
Set in the ground floor of an old theatre in Karakoy'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-Nisantasi-Etiler crowd venturing to Karakoy. More avant-garde than typical neighborhood spots.
