29 (Ulus 29)

29 has held its corner of Ulus Park since 1983, with a floor-to-ceiling glass dining room framing both Bosphorus bridges and the Asian shore beyond. The kitchen — Michelin-recommended in the 2026 Istanbul guide and a Gault & Millau Gourmand Table for the modern category — has stayed disciplined around Turkish seafood with the international vocabulary the dining room demands.

Reserve the window line at dinner, ask the sommelier to pair, and stay through the long view of the bridges lighting up. The downstairs bar runs late if the table ends earlier than the night.
