Banyan Restaurant

An absolute MUST visit place on the Bosporus, a stone-throw away from the Four Seasons hotel. Staff is incredibly friendly, professional and attentive (all excellent English on top). Asian fusion cuisine, pricey but worth every penny. Cocktails are simply deliciously heavenly 😎.

Excellent restaurant. Asian inspired menu providing a good & delicious choice of dishes. Service was top notch. The tables are a little too close from each other and the restaurant tends to be noisy. Maybe not the best place for a date night.

Perfect place for a date, business meeting, etc. I wish I could give more than 5 stars for it’s astonishing atmosphere… The sea view is just mesmerizing that might make you speechless… The food is great and all the staff are friendly It has both drinks menu and foods menu Go there 2 hours before the sunset for a great 3 hour experience

Amazing place with great views, amazing drink options, and fantastic food. I loved my Big Boy sushi, the corn 3 way was amazing, and I enjoyed the spicy crab salad. Will definitely come back again while in Istanbul

The service was exceptional, the view was breathtaking, and the food was a delightful surprise. I highly recommend this place, especially for its creative cocktails and its unique take on some of the most popular Beşiktaş and Istiklal street foods.

There is too much to say about this place. Where should I start? The location is fantastic. The view on the mosque and the bridge is breathtaking. A must visit location for a cocktail or enjoying the dinner. The staff is amazing and very accommodating. The location is not very big, perhaps 50-70 seat's but this makes it very warm with a fantastic atmosphere. Fantastic wines from a large glass cellar. When we were there on Wednesday evening, it was fully booked, including a DJ in the outside area that added great music and a lot of smiles to the people. The chef and his staff make amazing food for a very reasonable price. Asian Turkish cuisine with great flavours by using Turksihlsh ingredients with a story and surprising combinations. The menu has something for everybody. Fish, meat, vegetarian. Mixed starters, sushi plates, everybody will find a dish he-she likes. Thank you Hakan for inviting us to this lovely place. Next May in will I will come back with my Dutch friends to enjoy a cocktail and the fantastic view. I think one of the best places I ever had dinner. Thanks Emre for the hospitality.

Amazing view and atmosphere, great cocktails, especially ones on ELIT vodka and SeBusca mezcal. Hope to try food next visit.

Incredible place, amazing view on the bosphorus. Cocktails are delicious, sushi’s as well! High price but worth it. May be nice to come in summer and enjoy the open windows.
