Romantic dining with views of the Bosphorus. The water and the Asian side of Istanbul brought to mind looking at Sausalito from Tiburon. While the beautiful location and house bread with butter stood out, the food felt more like a veneer of fancy rather than anything truly memorable, as did the cocktails. The overall dining experience wasn’t quite our vibe—we prefer something a little more laid-back, but I will note the music was enjoyable. Still, it’s a nice choice if you’re into upscale dining with a nice setting.

Azur completely redefined my idea of a standout seafood dinner. I was there for a business meeting and everyone seemed genuinely impressed. Their seafood carpaccios were light yet packed with flavor, and the seasonal fish came perfectly cooked. It’s one of those places where you can unwind with great company and walk away feeling like you’ve had a true culinary journey. Easily one of Istanbul’s best for seafood.

The place has amazing views, beautiful decor and really good ambiance.
It has a DJ who played good music.
The staff are nice and helpful, but not as professional as they should be for such fine dining restaurant, the manager was very friendly and seemed genuine.

The food is below average and the price is not justified, it didn't have seasonings and lacks life all together.
There wasn't a lot of fish choice,  either very big fish or not very nice blue fish, which we didn't finish.
I am very disappointed with the food, only given 3 stars for the atmosphere.

Azur has been one of our favorite restaurants in town since it opened in the beautiful, quaint neighborhood of Yeniköy.  The restaurant has recently elevated its menu (more of an international fine-dining menu now) and has entered the Michelin recommendation list for the city. The new menu is simply delicious and very refined, with lots of Peruvian and Japanese inspired dishes, as well as delicious Mediterranean style dishes. They continue to serve the best grilled fish and seafood, of course. I highly recommend the restaurant to visitors in the city. It is really worth a visit, for a delicious meal in a cosy but also posh, clubby environment. Upstairs is Percy, a new lounge/club with DJ, also run by Azur, in case you want to stay on for some drinks and good music …
