Perched high above the Bosphorus with views of Dolmabahce Palace, Topaz offers a theatrical dining experience. The Ottoman-Mediterranean menu tells the story of Istanbul's multicultural heritage through refined dishes. The panoramic terrace is arguably the most dramatic dining room in the city.

Editor's Tip

Reserve terrace seats at sunset. The view alone is worth the visit, but the food matches it.
