Mikla is one of Istanbul’s most iconic Michelin-starred restaurants, combining contemporary Anatolian cuisine with breathtaking rooftop views above Beyoğlu.
Mikla has played a defining role in shaping Istanbul’s modern fine dining scene. Created by acclaimed chef Mehmet Gürs, the restaurant reinterprets Anatolian ingredients and regional Turkish traditions through a contemporary Nordic-inspired approach, resulting in one of the city’s most influential tasting-menu experiences. Rather than relying on luxury alone, Mikla places craftsmanship, seasonality, and local producers at the center of every dish.
The menu changes with the seasons and showcases carefully sourced ingredients from across Türkiye. Expect refined interpretations of Anatolian classics, seafood, vegetables, sustainably sourced meat, house-made bread, and beautifully presented desserts, all paired with an extensive wine list and creative cocktails. Dinner is designed as a complete culinary journey rather than a quick meal, making Mikla a destination for special occasions, anniversaries, business dinners, and travelers looking to experience one of Istanbul’s most internationally acclaimed restaurants. Arriving before sunset is especially rewarding, as the rooftop transforms from daylight over the Bosphorus into one of the city’s most spectacular evening dining settings.
Located on the top floor of The Marmara Pera in Beyoğlu, Mikla overlooks one of the most impressive panoramas in Istanbul. From the terrace and dining room, guests enjoy sweeping views across the Golden Horn, the Bosphorus, the Historic Peninsula, Galata Tower, and the city’s constantly changing skyline. The location also places visitors within walking distance of Pera, Galata, Karaköy, İstiklal Avenue, and some of Beyoğlu’s best galleries, bars, and boutique hotels.
While the cuisine is the main attraction, the setting is equally memorable. Mikla balances world-class gastronomy with one of Istanbul’s finest rooftop locations, creating an experience that feels sophisticated without becoming overly formal. It is a restaurant where architecture, service, cuisine, and skyline come together, making it one of the city’s benchmark destinations for contemporary Turkish fine dining.
