Ottoman Palace Cuisine Ottoman palace cuisine is an indisputable masterpiece and cultural heritage of Turkey. It combines the best characters from many cultures: Turkish, Arabic, Mediterranean, Balkan, Caucasian and others… Best chefs of the magnificent period, during many centuries, created their culinary masterpieces for the Sultans and their courtiers. Recipes were carefully stored and transmitted from one generation to another! Unfortunately, with the fall of the Ottoman Empire, this unique legacy almost completely disappeared and became oblivious. ⠀ We believe that this is wrong and unfair! And we really want to fix it!!
EXCELLENT Based on 3347 reviews Posted on Gérard JF27 January 2026Verified Bon restaurant!! Bon restaurant recommandé par le guide Michelin . La”pastilla” est très bien Une jolie carte de vins Très bon servicePosted on pieropaola24 January 2026Verified Cucina ottomana Bella esperienza con un atmosfera dei tempi passati, i piatti sono presentati e cucinati alla vecchia maniera ottomana. Servizio buono ma un po freddino, hanno anche soluzioni per celiaci. Un'esperienza che merita di essere provata.Posted on 602Tony9 January 2026Verified Convenient location to key places of interest, excellent food and service.t Deraliye was obviously a very popular restaurant. The staff seated our small group quickly and for the duration of the meal provided excellent service; all had a good command of English. We were served a comprehensive range of Turkish cuisine, each item offered generous serves of tasty, interesting dishes. They included Turkish bread accompanied by 5 spreads including hummus and others with yoghurt, spices, beans, chilies and eggplant featured. Next was a beef dish with eggplant mash, followed by an excellent Baklava to finish off. We were served two very sound, flavoursome wines, a white and a red. They were better than many wines offered at popular, tourist frequented restaurants. As our introduction to Turkish wine, they were impressive. The restaurant was notable for its friendly atmosphere, which was continued in the "foody" precinct outside.Posted on Sarmin4 January 2026Verified Delicious food, beautiful view A very nice restaurant with beautiful view.

It was a truly memorable cultural experience. Zidan, who took care of me during the meal, was extremely kind and had a great sense of humor, which made the dinner even more enjoyable. Thank you very much!Posted on kika26 December 2025Verified 最高の食体験 素晴らしい食体験。 EMRAHは大変温かい対応をしてくれました。私たちが必要としているものを用意してもてなしてくれました。間違いなく、イスタンブールで行ったレストランの中で最高のお店です。 スレイマン2世やヒュッレムの話をして、忘れられない夜を家族で過ごしました。またトルコに来たら伺います。Posted on Eliana D21 December 2025Verified Nice turkish restaurant...
