X Restaurant

Located on the top floor of Deniz Palas, aka the Istanbul Foundation for Culture and Arts’ (İKSV) building, X Restaurant offers a truly spectacular Istanbul view. It’s a pleasure all on its own to dine across from this view or watch the sun set with an afternoon drink in hand... The decor features orange, grey, smoke and black colours as well as leather, wood and plastic furniture. There’s an L-shaped bar in front of the giant windows that appear before you as soon as you enter. The wine menu includes bottles from Chile, Austria, Argentina, USA, France and Portugal in addition to champagnes like Dom Pérignon and Tattinger. There’s a separate menu that offers prestigious wines for 2,000 TL and above; you have to ask specifically for it, though. The menu offers appetizers, pizzas from the wood oven, home-made pastas and rissottos, meat and fish.
