Ulus 29 — Restaurant in Beşiktaş

Believed to be a great place overlooking Bosphorus hence did the booking well in advance from abroad. On the day of our dine in with family including children, we contacted them and made sure all set. At the entrance, we were stopped by the male staff saying we won’t be allowed in as one of the children wasn’t wearing smart casuals. In the first place, We were never informed about this at any time and we were completely unaware of this. It was a rainy night and the staff just abandoned us without even giving us any help. No empathy or consideration to the customers. The place may be very good but goodwill is what makes it memorable in people’s heart. We called the reception for help and they seemed not bothered about us, gave us no help. We had travelled from our hotel about 1 hour in the taxi to get to Ulus 29 and we had no idea about the place or where to go next, where to get the next taxi from etc. It was the very first day of our holiday so looking forward to have our evening dinner in Ulus 29 but turned out to be a horrible experience because of the attitude of the staff. Thankfully we could search up and finally went to another Michelin restaurant — where they also said kids not allowed and bookings needed but they gladly received us knowing that we were coming from another country having our holiday.

I don’t recommend ulus 29 for their poor service and unacceptable behavior and attitude especially towards a family coming from abroad in bad weather conditions...

The place is an absolute 4, not more as there are many things that need improvement . The food we tried was nothing special. Just the presentation was good. We went there for the birthday of my boyfriend which was noted in the comments when booking and he also asked for a table with a view. Instead we were seated at the worst table in the whole restaurant. We were promised that we are going to change tables once there is availability. Meanwhile we saw some tables getting empty and other people being seated there. I do not understand what is the point of writing you have celebration if nobody will pay attention to this note. Good that there was a guy who saw us standing at the smoking area and offered to change our table to the seating area for smokers.

The guy at the wardrobe tried to scam us by asking 100 Turkish lira for the coats when leaving. My boyfriend went back to the reception and they told him there is no such fee.

The view is outstanding though. The table service also. Keep in mind that 10% of the bill are automatically added as service fee and there is table service of 100 Turkish...

This restaurant has become my favorite fine dining destination, not just in Istanbul but possibly the world. The service here is consistently terrific, making every visit memorable.

What truly sets this place apart is its view. It offers a breathtaking panorama that I believe is unmatched in Istanbul, adding an extraordinary backdrop to the dining experience.

The menu is a delightful journey through international cuisine, each dish reflecting the highest quality. What I particularly appreciate is the variety of healthy options available, catering to diverse dietary preferences and preferences for wholesome food.

Each visit to this restaurant feels like a dream. The combination of exceptional service, stunning views, and exquisite cuisine makes it a standout choice. I always look forward to dining here and would recommend it to anyone seeking a fine dining experience...
