Murver pioneered live-fire cooking in Istanbul when it opened in 2017 atop Novotel Istanbul Bosphorus. The constantly burning wood fire, fed with aromatic woods, charcoal, nut shells and herbs, creates smoky, complex flavors in dishes that celebrate local and seasonal ingredients. The rooftop terrace offers unbeatable views of the Bosphorus and Historic Peninsula. Michelin Guide listed and beloved by food enthusiasts seeking authentic fire-cooked cuisine.
