Bebek Balıkçı

The restaurant area has a spectacular view of the Bosphorus. Suggestion would be to have a starter - which can be chosen from the display. A variety of fresh fish is available to choose from (also on display) which is deboned by the waiter upon request. Overall the quality of food was very good. To finish off, the baklava was served with ice cream with a delicious creamy aftertaste taste.

Picked because it was by the water. I have spent more money for less, but for $467 for two people..... would expect more... between us 3 glasses of wine, and truly, I was thinking it was definitely worth half the money. The service was very good and the food was quite tasty, but you have no idea what it will cost until the end. When they presented the bill for 15000 lira ($467) for two, I was shocked. Although we did eat quite well, certainly not worth that kind of money. Either ask the price of EVERYTHING before you ask for it, or just be aware it's going to be about $200 a person (if not more) for a reasonably good meal. But if you just want to sit by the water and enjoy a good meal, you can do it quite well in other places for half the cost.

Amazing place right on the water. Food is really good and served nicely. Beware, A very expensive place. Even more expensive than an average sea food resturant.

Good food. Excellent kitchen with variety of fish. Upscale. Instead of ordering from the menu, select your mezes (Turkish tapas) from the showcase window, like locals do. Also fish is displayed in their showcase. By the water/Bosphourus. Reservations must.

Second time there, the first one was fantastic we had a full fresh fish and I went with a local friend. Now on the second, food was good but we choose fish in pieces that definitely was not the same fresh as the full one. Suggestion is to take a full fish, worth it and the taste is much better. The selection of starters are amazing as well!!!

Avoid this place. Charged for a "table" 120 tl. See receipt. I ordered Salmon and received Tuna. This restaurant allows smoking cigars and cigarettes INDOORS. It's just an awful environment. Overpriced and incredibly small portions. A tourist trap. Go elsewhere, PLEASE.

One of Istanbul’s iconic seafood restaurants. Has been there for over 70 years. Charming views over the Bosphorus. Service was good, although not always consistent. Food was delicious. Definitely worth a second visit

PATHETIC SCAMMERS!!!! Absolutely despicable and disgraceful service, food and rip off!!! Modern day food service scammers!!! We all felt violated with the food bill and service!! We were all shocked with the outrageous food bill! Reading other reviews on this venue I found we weren’t the first to be ripped off!! DO NOT I REPEAT, DO NOT ENTER THIS VENUE!!!!!!! The tax and service fee were more than the bill itself! They took it upon themselves to add tip twice to the bill!!! I was under the impression if we as customers enjoyed the service we will choose to pay tip accordingly.. absolute disgrace!! Avoid this place at all costs!!

Excellent appetizers and the grilled squid is perfection. The service is impressive and the table on the patio is divine. Very fresh seafood and had a delicious Turkish Sauvignon Blanc. Totally recommend.

One of the best seafood restaurants in Istanbul. The view is to die for, the food and service are 10/10. Highly recommended

Nice place with a beautiful view. Overrated and overpriced. Food was basically tasteless. Would not suggest this place.
