This is the first time I'm writing a review, but I probably won't be able to pass it by. This is a uniquely warm place right in the heart of Istanbul. I would like to note that this place deserves to be included in the top 5 restaurants of the old town. Its pearl is its staff and customer orientation to absolutely everyone , which is important for a public accustomed to the service - it 's not just there , it 's beyond praise . If you are soaked in the rain, tired of walking or just want to spend a cozy evening, have a delicious dinner and admire the view of the old town, then this restaurant is for you!!! Every time we return to Istanbul, we have dinner with you as usual, and it is also worth noting the person who made us feel at home, and : Şahin'e çok teşekkür ederim!

We spent an extreme evening in Istanbul at this restaurant. And, by the way, it was an excellent choice, as the restaurant's terrace offers stunning views of the city's key attractions: the Blue Mosque, St. Sophia Cathedral and Topkapi Palace. In addition, from the outdoor terrace you can contemplate the beauty of the Bosphorus and the Prince Islands. It's worth a look here, at least for that. 😊 Well, now a little bit about the kitchen and the service. ABOUT THE KITCHEN. Your choice is provided with a fairly wide menu, which includes Turkish and European cuisines. Seafood dishes are also on the menu: octopus, shrimp, various fish. As everywhere else, meze (Turkish appetizers) was served first, followed by kefta in a small amount (also a traditional dish of Turkish cuisine, small minced meat patties) and salads, of course. A hot dish was served with kebab and fish. Naturally, my choice was obvious – dorado. As in many other establishments, dorado is served with French fries, lemon and herbs. The grilled fish was cooked perfectly!Special thanks to the chef for the juiciness and bright taste! ❤️ For drinks: I took a glass of dry white wine with the fish In general, dear readers, the dinner was great!🌟 ABOUT THE SERVICE,. I'll start with the main thing – THANKS to our waiter Ali, for the excellent service! "We never needed anything, our every request was promptly fulfilled, and the table was always tidy and tidy." Many thanks to all the staff of the Seaside Lounge restaurant for your customer orientation and hospitality. It's very atmospheric and good here. My friends, I definitely RECOMMEND you to visit at all!!! Ps: I've never drunk such delicious coffee anywhere. The taste of the coffee, as well as the serving itself (in a beautiful beautiful dish) was not great!🔥

Visiting the restaurant for a Turkish breakfast was one of the most vivid and memorable moments of our trip to Istanbul. When choosing a place based on reviews, we have never regretted that we chose this particular place. The first thing that conquers is the breathtaking panoramic view. The terrace offers a stunning view of both the historical quarters of the city and the majestic Bosphorus. The service was also excellent: attentive and considerate staff created an atmosphere of true hospitality. But the main highlight of the morning was an interactive acquaintance with the local fauna. The waiters kindly offered to feed the seagulls directly from the terrace, brought us a special fish and explained in detail how to do it correctly to make spectacular shots. This caused a storm of sincere emotions! I hope the video will be able to convey at least some of that excitement and atmosphere. I definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants to enjoy the aesthetics of Istanbul, quality service and get an unforgettable experience.

We had a great time at the Seafront Lounge Rooftop Restaurant in Sultanahmet district. It is one of the most beautiful rooftop restaurants in Istanbul with stunning views of Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Sea of Marmara. The atmosphere is very cozy and romantic, especially in the evening during sunset. We tried the Turkish breakfast and seafood dishes — everything was delicious and fresh. The staff is attentive and friendly, the service is at a high level. The outdoor and indoor terraces allow you to enjoy this place at any time of the year. If you are walking around Sultanahmet, Hagia Sophia, Topkapi or the Grand Bazaar, be sure to stop here for breakfast, lunch or dinner with an incredible view of Istanbul.

The task was to get into a restaurant with a beautiful view and traditional Turkish cuisine. It is 100% done: the roof offers stunning views of the city and the sea, and the cuisine is very tasty, while the dishes are served effectively. It's nice that the staff is Russian-speaking, polite and attentive to details guys. We were very satisfied with the service! I definitely recommend it to everyone!

A restaurant where you want to stay. The terrace offers one of the most beautiful views of old Istanbul. It's especially nice here after sunset. The cuisine is decent: the dishes are fresh and served effectively. But the main impression is the service. The staff is perfectly matched: attentive without being intrusive, and there is a sense of sincere hospitality in this, which is now rare. One day we got soaked in the rain — we were covered with dry clothes and immediately warmed up with hot tea, thanks to which we did not get sick until the end of the vacation. There has always been a feeling that we are welcome here, as if we have known these people for a long time and returned to our native place. On the last day of our vacation, we were kindly allowed to feed the seagulls from the terrace. It was just the two of us there, we treated them to fish — the seagulls were happy, and so were we. We took a lot of beautiful photos and videos. Many thanks to the staff for this opportunity! A quiet, warm place for dinner with a view of the city. I'll be happy to come back. Çok teşekkür ederim! 🤍

We came to the restaurant based on the reviews, which were highly appreciated. It's worth going here for the view. He really deserves the huge prices for the dishes that you will pay here. The service is excellent, it's also nice. The appearance of the dishes is impressive. And the quality is better than in the nearby streets. But you have to understand that Turkish-European cuisine is for the amateur. And there are questions about the dishes. It's nice that it's clean, the seagulls are being chased, and the portions are large. And this also justifies the amount you will pay. There is an important recommendation-check the invoice before paying. They included a dish that we didn't order.

We recommend this restaurant, good cuisine, there are seafood and meat, including fish in salt and meat in a pot that is broken in front of you. Giant portions with lots of ingredients, on shrimp and lobster. They don't save money. Russian-speaking staff, there is a roof terrace where you can feed the seagulls with a fork. Good views and an overview of Hagia Sophia, there is alcohol, beer, cocktails. Excellent service. There is parking at the bottom, but it is paid (400 liras), which is not bad for this location (autotourists will understand). We have visited this restaurant more than once and each time we have only positive impressions.

Right under the walls of Hagia Sophia and Topkapi. Very friendly staff. The breakfasts are quite enough to run all day. Turkish coffee is available for breakfast. There is a very nice covered girl working at the reception. Young people are also friendly. They give water to the room. We used an iron. The bed seems to have been changed for us every other day. The only downside is that the refrigerator couldn't handle the task, because it only seemed to work when we were in the room. There is also a kettle, tea and coffee bags in the room.

The roof was under restoration, although I specifically asked about it downstairs. Expensive and not tasty. I ordered stuffed squid for 1.6 thousand lira, and in the end I was completely disappointed: it was greasy, spicy, and the squid was rubber, not even peeled from the inner film. The staff is polite and attentive, so they are the only reason for the 3 stars.

I was here in May, and I really liked everything. Service at the same level: the cooled one was replaced without any requests (due to the long-term eating of Iskender kebab in one person :D) tea and brought a blanket. At least some of the staff speaks Russian, and I think everyone will understand English. The view is wonderful - on the strait, Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque + there is another mosque minaret just next to eye level, so when visiting during prayer, an unusual ensemble of azans will sound from different sides for a while. As for me, it adds atmosphere) A solo set without any special fantasies and seafood delights (kebab + baklava + tea) will cost ~ 3k rubles with a cap, and it will be very satisfying, even with excess. The reason to stretch the meal for a longer time is that the place deserves it. There would be no photos, I was stuck on the beauty of the city and the taste of local cuisine and lived in the moment.
