Great views from the rooftop. Tasty food - we had meze for 4 and it was all delicious. Lovely kebabs and great staff. Located right in the center of the touristy attractions.

Pino Gare is truly a gem in Instambul!

The view from the restaurant is outstanding. But what is even better is the food. Just delicious!

I ordered the Pino Gare Special and you are always treated with some appetizers. The Special was delicious. Very juicy meat and the taste was amazing.

Afterwards we had some orange tea with some dessert and it was just the cherry on top! I really loved it.

You enter downstairs up to the seventh floor and are greeted with the most friendly service. You can’t find such good service everywhere.

I will remember this place for my future trips and can truly recommend it!

We had a great experience at this restaurant yesterday. The food was delicious, and the restaurant offers a good view of the city. The staff was very helpful, especially the waiters, who assisted me in organizing a birthday surprise for my boyfriend. We sang "Happy Birthday" which made the evening even more special. The atmosphere was wonderful, and we really enjoyed it.

The restaurant is very elegant and luxurious, and while the prices are on the higher side, we were pleasantly surprised to receive complimentary appetizers. Overall, it was a lovely experience!

The restaurant we chose for dinner on the last day of our trip. We made a reservation and visited, but since we arrived early, we were the first guests for dinner.

They poured us a large bottle of water over 1 liter and gave us time to choose the menu, and then served us naan bread as an appetizer.

We ordered beer and had a quick meal of beer and naan, and the main dishes came out one by one. The sea bass was cooked very deliciously without any fishy smell, and the lamb steak was so soft that it almost melted away when we chewed it.

The food was delicious overall, and the atmosphere of the restaurant was great. After we finished eating, dessert came out, and while we were enjoying simple tea and Turkish dessert, the owner came out and had a short conversation.

It was about food, and we said we were very satisfied, and we could fully understand why all 1,000 reviews of this restaurant gave it 5 stars. The taste of the food, the attitude towards customers, and the atmosphere of the restaurant made it all make sense.

If I go to Istanbul, I definitely want to visit this restaurant again.

I am very satisfied that I have this restaurant as my last memory of Istanbul.
