For three decades, Sunset Grill has been Istanbul's premier sunset destination. The hilltop location in Ulus Park offers 180-degree views of the Bosphorus and both bridges. Japanese-Mediterranean fusion cuisine complements what remains one of the city's most spectacular settings.

Editor's Tip

The name says it all - arrive before sunset. A classic since 1994.
