Borsa Restaurant

The Adile Sultan Palace is an events venue that is as spectacular as its name suggests. A stroll through the building will give you a sense of its grandeur and splendour – characteristics that Borsa is fortunate to share. To dine against a breathtaking backdrop of the Bosporus, head to the terrace. This is an upmarket restaurant listed in Bib Gourmand list of Istanbul, showcasing traditional Turkish cuisine on an à la carte basis. I’ve visited the place twice. Both experiences were great. Highly professional personnel and quality service. The dishes are epic. The only negative comment I can think is about the Avocado salad. Avocados were already mushy and not enjoyable. The restaurant should give more attention to ingredient quality. The bread basket is so unique. Comes with fresh creamy butter and Tulum cheese. A great way to start the feast. Lahmacun and içli were okay. Not the best in town. You can skip these. Gavurdağı salad was good. Goes good with kebabs. Grilled liver is a good hot starter option to share. Tenderly cooked and juicy. The meat dishes were perfectly cooked and very tender. Especially, I loved the Kuzu Tandır. It was a true pleasure. Döner was pretty good. Exceeded my expectations. Worth a try. It has a unique flavor, and cooked very well. Sides and portions are very generous. You can easily get full with one plate. As a dessert we ordered semolina halva with ice cream. It’s pretty good but a bit sweet and orange zest is a bit overpowering the taste. Prices are reasonable for big portions. You will approximately pay 1,200-1,500 TL per person, excluding alcohol. I can’t tell enough about the magnificent Bosphorus views. Breathtaking ambiance! It’s a wonderful place to watch the sunset. Overall score 4.4/5 for Fine Dining

Borsa Resturant In the Adile Sultan Palace which is an events venue that is as spectacular as its name suggests. The restaurant showcases traditional Turkish cuisine on an à la carte basis. Breathtaking views over the Bosphorus. Could be the best you can get. Food was okay. Nothing to rave about. You are here mainly for the view not the Food.

Horribly disappointed by this place, which I know since 40 years. Main meals were delayed by approximately one hour by no explainable reason. Afterwards we found out that they gave priority to tables continuing to the theater next door. Last time I’ve been there.

I’ve eaten here over the years and it continues to be one of the best meals in town. Food is consistently great with classic Ottoman dishes, served with the freshest of ingredients. This location has a wonderful terrace next to the conference Centre and ample space. I couldn’t recommend it highly enough - you will find only the most discerning of tourists and chic locals.
