Roka

With branches all around the globe, Roka's Istanbul address stands as one of the finest Japanese restaurants in the city. The open robata grill, an essential fixture in all Roka establishments, is the true star of the show. We couldn’t get enough of the smoky deliciousness of dishes like the sesame miso-glazed charred eggplant and the ribeye with wasabi ponzu sauce. Boasting stunning views of the Bosphorus and a spacious terrace that’s open year-round, Roka's Istanbul branch is the place to be for those looking to indulge in an authentic yet contemporary Japanese menu.
