MICHELIN Guide’s Point Of View
One Star: High quality cooking
Maksut Aşkar and his young team preserve their culinary heritage and guide it into the future with their exciting cuisine. This also involves an emphasis on sustainability, as in the rigorous selection of local produce (including the fine Turkish wines) and the proximity of suppliers.
Chef Aşkar puts his stamp on authentic recipes with a subtlety that is all of his own. Imagine a finely spiced 'cupcake' made of bulgur and a tasty chicken preparation, accompanied by a rich cream velouté and a full-bodied chicken demi-glace, topped with a potato crisp.
The location of the restaurant, in the Salt Galata, makes your experience all the more memorable. The large windows and fabulous terrace afford superb views of Istanbul's rooftops and beautiful mosques.
Gastronomy & Sustainability
MICHELIN Green Star
"
In order to preserve tradition, we work with producers, artisans and farmers who are committed to clean, fair production using ancestral methods. Understanding the importance of soil, we collaborate with a kitchen garden that is adapted to our menu. We attach importance to seasonality and use a system where our guests choose their menus in advance, in order to create minimum waste. Waste generated in the kitchen is used as fertiliser in our garden.
