Balkon Restaurant & Bar — Restaurant in Beyoğlu

The staff is unattentive and mostly incompetent. They almost always mixed up the orders or just could not handle the timing (my plate would arrive after my friends almost finishes theirs). The cocktails are okay. The food menu needs to be vamped up A LOT. It needs serious work honestly. Even the cajun chicken didn’t taste good. How in the world can you mess up FRIED FOOD?!

The only redeeming feature of this place is the magnificent view. So maybe just come here for a few beers at sunset and immediately leave to get some good food somewhere else.

There are better rooftops in this city.

P.s. their prices are way too high for the quality of...

Location: Old Bar/Nightclub district called Asmalımescit. You can find bunch of alternative place around as well Food: This is really not a place to eat. You don't get the feeling of eating anything tasty. Only pizza is okay. Drinks: stick to the beer. They are not very good at cocktails. View: Thats the only thing that makes a düfference. Amazing view. It gets better during sunset. I suggest go there during sunset, othervise due tonlack of air conditioning, you will have an uncomfortable time there Staff, friendly daydreaming staff Overall. Great view, lack of taste but over...

A great, cozy spot in the tourist center of Istanbul!

This rooftop lounge is perfect for enjoying the evening sunset. It’s very easy to reserve a table via WhatsApp if needed, though tables are usually available even without a reservation.

We only had drinks — wine and beer — and really enjoyed them. I’m sure the food is excellent too, but we didn’t have a chance to try it. Highly recommended for a relaxing drink and to enjoy the evening atmosphere...
