Take the lift to the seventh floor of The Artisan İstanbul MGallery hotel and marvel at the breathtaking views over the city, which this elegant rooftop restaurant proudly showcases. At Topaz, a favourite among Istanbul’s food connoisseurs, Mediterranean dishes are given a distinctly Turkish twist, and bold flavours abound. For example, the chef slowly braises lamb shoulder so that the meat is meltingly tender and deeply aromatic. He then serves the succulent meat with a robust sauce made from the cooking juices, along with barley risotto prepared with plenty of cream and chives, black trumpet mushrooms and salted lemon. After your meal, savour the experience a little longer with a drink at the cocktail bar.
