Mediterranean Cuisine
The Red Balloon is a tranquil oasis in the heart of Istanbul. The terrace is a breathtaking sight, with its contemporary design and towering trees. Chef Ulaş Durmaz sources ingredients as locally as possible to create Mediterranean dishes with a North Aegean twist. For example, he roasts squid from Babakale rendering it intensely aromatic, and he makes his mark by finishing the bold jus with fruity, crisp notes of tangerine. His creative approach and youthful enthusiasm give familiar flavours a new lease of life.

Türkiye: The Award-Winning Kitchen of a Young Chef, Ulaş Durmaz and The Red Balloon
The Michelin Guide is the dream of all chefs. And even more -when we think about the range of awards, it goes beyond the chefs: From prestigious stars to the Best Service Award, from the Green Star for sustainability to the Best Sommelier Award. These Michelin choices reward those who combine talent with dedication and hard work, and it’s never too late to chase the dream to get them: Except for the Michelin Young Chef award.
