Nestled in the vibrant heart of Beyoğlu, the Ataturk Cultural Center is home to Biz İstanbul, a restaurant that offers a unique blend of culinary excellence and breathtaking views of the Bosphorus. Imagine dining while the sun sets over the water, casting golden hues across the skyline, creating an atmosphere that is both enchanting and unforgettable. This establishment is not just a place to eat; it’s an experience that captures the essence of Istanbul's rich culture and modern flair.

Biz İstanbul is renowned for its exquisite menu that showcases the best of Turkish cuisine with a modern twist. Two standout dishes that you simply cannot miss are the "Grilled Octopus" and the "Lamb Shank with Pistachio Crust." The grilled octopus is tender and perfectly charred, served with a zesty lemon and herb dressing that elevates its natural flavors. Meanwhile, the lamb shank is slow-cooked to perfection, melting in your mouth, and is complemented by a rich, aromatic sauce that brings out the essence of traditional Turkish spices.

 The cocktail menu features innovative drinks that perfectly complement the dining experience, including the "Bosphorus Breeze," a refreshing mix of gin, tonic, and local herbs.

 Don't miss the "Baklava with Pistachio Ice Cream," a delightful combination of flaky pastry and creamy ice cream that offers a perfect sweet finish to your meal.

Situated at Mete Caddesi No: 2, Biz İstanbul is ideally located for those looking to explore the vibrant Beyoğlu district. Just a short walk away, you can discover the historic Galata Tower or enjoy a leisurely stroll along İstiklal Avenue, where shops, galleries, and street performances abound. The proximity to these attractions makes it a perfect stop for both locals and tourists.

 Biz İstanbul is celebrated for its stunning views of the Bosphorus and its modern take on traditional Turkish cuisine.

 The combination of exquisite food, exceptional service, and a picturesque setting makes it a must-visit destination in Istanbul.

 Biz İstanbul operates daily from 11 AM to 11 PM, making it convenient for lunch, dinner, or a late-night drink.

Whether you're a local or a traveler, Biz İstanbul invites you to indulge in a culinary journey that celebrates the flavors of Turkey. With its stunning views and inviting atmosphere, it's the perfect spot for a memorable meal. Don't miss out on this unique dining experience—come and savor the best of Istanbul today!

Absolutely stunning view and atmosphere, excellent service and friendly staff. We have been in Istanbul for 3 years in a row and visited many different places and bars with great views and food but so far this is the best one. We can definitely rate this place as a “Las Vegas” style. We leave in Chicago and go to Vegas every year to similar bars and restaurants but when we compare all of them “ Biz Istanbul “ is a absolute winner.

Biz Restaurant is worth visiting for its stunning Bosphorus view and excellent service. The standout of our experience was Mr. Yusuf, who was incredibly attentive, answered all our questions about the menu with care and clarity, and made us feel very welcome. While the food itself was decent—nothing extraordinary—the overall ambiance and the breathtaking view made it a memorable experience. A great spot for a relaxing meal with beautiful scenery!

It was an amazing experience its a must visit if you are in Istanbul and looking for great food,service and ambiance.
Aleyna was the one who made our reservation and she greeted us with great hospitality we had drinks at the bar with amazing Bosphorus views while they arranged our table for 8.
Mustafa was our main server and he was fantastic so professional and spot on with his recommendations and service.
All our local & international guests left the dinner very pleased. Will be coming back and 100% recommending to others!

Excellent experience. The menu had a great variety and the personnel was super helpful since we were not familiar with Turkish cuisine. We would definitely come back again and propose this place

I recently dined at Biz Istanbul and found the experience to be a mixed bag. The atmosphere was lovely, with a pleasant ambiance and a beautiful sea view, making it a charming spot, especially in a touristic area. However, the food was just average. While not bad, it didn’t particularly stand out either. Overall, it’s a decent place if you’re looking for a nice environment and scenic views, but the food might not meet high expectations.
