Panoramic Restaurant

Food was good, not great, but good. Rice tasted kind of funky, may have been going bad. We came around 9pm so maybe it was the last batch made earlier. Might need to add some salt to the meats, but hey... this subject always depends on the person. I would recommend to ask for some special sauce for meats.

Red Wine was also good. I just got the cheapest thing on the menu and turned out exactly what I wanted.

Service was very good. Servers were very attentive and food came out on a timely manner.

I don't think there is a way to get up here without walking a flight of stairs, so if you can't do stairs this restaurant might not be for you. There is an elevator that brings you to the last floor, then there's one flight of spiral stairs to walk up to the roof.

SMOKING IS ALOWED! I LOVE IT! ASK FOR AN ASHTRAY 😀

Credit cards accepted.

The food was very good. The tea was very good. The waiters knew English language and they were very kind. The view was spectacular. They showed us the terrace as well.

We had the best time in Istanbul! The food in here is delicious, the view amazing and Nora and Ruhat were so good to us so nice and they even sang happy birthday to my mom in her special day! Thanks for being such good hosts and people! Totally recommended!!!

It was a rainy day with wind and cool weather, I requested to be outside not knowing it was totally open. For me this was still good, the manager did advise me and offered to allow me as I wished. The restaurant was 30% occupied.
The soup of the day excellent, the Sea Bass was super, and the service / treatment was at the max.
All this and having the roof top for myself was awsome.

We had our dinner at Panoramic Restaurant and it was an amazing experience. We asked for a table by the window and we got it. The food quality and portions were perfect. The view from the Rooftop is the best. We had the best service, friendly and kind weiters Sadettin and Lhami, see you next time and thank you for the gift.

This restaurant is amazing! My wife and I came here for our first anniversary dinner and it’s safe to say I picked the best place. The food was delicious and the views are magnificent. The best views in Istanbul in my opinion. The waiters are very friendly and kind. Ilhami, our server, did an excellent job. You must visit this place if you come to Istanbul.

We came here for drinks during sunset - it was superb! Right at the top they have a 360 degree terrace garden which will have the best view of H.Sophia mosque and Blue mosque as well, with Bosphorus strait. Drink were reasonably priced, service was friendly especially Sadettin who took care of us. Definitely the best panoramic terrace in Istanbul- highly recommended!

Struggled to find decent food in Sultanahmet until we found this restaurant. So good, we returned again. Great views and service (Mesut and Ilhami). Amazing being in between the most historical sights and mosques during the evening call to prayer. Finish off the evening with Katmer, apple cay and Raki!

I recently had the pleasure of dining at the Panasonic restaurant with an absolutely breathtaking view of the Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was just perfect - from the excellent service to the unbelievable views, and of course, the heavenly food.

As soon as I arrived at the restaurant, I was greeted by friendly staff who immediately made me feel welcome. They led me to a table with a prime view of the Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque, and I was completely awestruck by the stunning scenery. I could hardly believe my eyes - it was like something out of a postcard.

The customer service at this restaurant is truly unmatched. Ilhami and Murat were attentive and accommodating, making sure that my every need was met. They were knowledgeable about the menu and were able to make recommendations that suited my tastes perfectly.

And let me tell you about the food. It was like nothing I've ever tasted before - every dish was a perfect blend of flavors and textures, and each bite was a revelation. The chefs clearly take great care in preparing their dishes, and it really shows in the quality of the food.

But what really sets this restaurant apart is the view. The Aya Sofia and the Blue Mosque are two of the most iconic landmarks in Istanbul, and to be able to enjoy a meal with such a stunning backdrop is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. I couldn't believe my luck to be able to dine in such a beautiful setting.

Overall, I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone who wants to experience exceptional food and unparalleled views in Istanbul. It's truly an unforgettable experience that I will cherish for years to come.

Our reception at the restaurant was remarkable. Welcoming employees made sure we felt comfortable from the very start until the very end of our dinner. I would like to personally commend Ilhami who was in charge of our table for his outstanding and utterly kind approach to every guest including my niece, a little devil who wished to draw on some paper sheets which was gladly served to her disposal.

The view on Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque from this restaurant is marvelous and breathtaking as much as the food cooked at the very highest level.

Highly recommend, especially at the sunset when the Blue Mosque is highlighted by beautiful rose lights.

Ilhami, hizmetleriniz için çok teşekkür eder, oğlunuza ve kızınıza saygılarımı sunarım.

I had a dinner yesterday, excellent place, a beautiful view of the city, and the waiters were really nice, Ilhami give a really good attention. I totally recommend it!

Great terrace, maybe the best in that area. You can see the bosphorus, the golden horn, aya Sofia and the blue mosque 🕌 all together !! Undeliverable ! But it's quite expensive but I think it's worth it, at the end the waiter ask you to pay extra because the service isn't included ... About 10% more...💵

This restaurant is on the 5th floor of a hotel and it's super nice with a panoramic view of Istanbul. They have an open rooftop area and a covered area. Both are really nice. The staff knows English and are very friendly.

One of the most beautiful restaurants overlooking Istanbul. The food, atmosphere and service was excellent. I got the greatest pictures to share.

The view of this places is the best one of this area! I was advised to come here by one local seller of carpets store and when I ask for the best coffee with the best view he was not less than right about this place.
Service was great and also the environment of the restaurant.
This places is a hidden Jew you must visit :)

Nara was a fantastic waitress- very attentive and helped us rearrange the tables to take photos 🤣 food was delicious and views are unreal

The best place in Istanbul with incredible view and very carrying staff! Nara deserves a special word — she is so attentive and polite! My daughter just started learning Turkish, Nara was talking to her every day helping to practice and also trying to speak Russian with us! Thank you so much! We’re happy and definitely recommend this place to everyone!

I am trying to find the right words for this amazing place! Everyone should come here at least once! This place is a MUST visit if you are coming to Istanbul.

It has a beautiful rooftop terrace from which you can enjoy a 360 view of the city. I would especially suggest you to come here in the late afternoon and enjoy the sunset from here, it's really amazing view. It can get a bit windy on the terrace, so don't forget to bring some scarf or jacket (depending on the season) or you can enjoy the view from the lower floor of the restaurant (both floors are really nice).

When it comes to food, we were very satisfied with it. During our stay in Istanbul, we visited this restaurant two times and tried different food (both main dishes and desserts) and everything was nicely decorated and very tasty.

Regarding prices, it's not much different than other restaurants we visited - maybe a little bit more expensive, but it's totally worth it for the overall experience.

Last but not least, the staff is very polite and welcoming. Both times, Murat was an excellent host and he made sure to make our visits special.

I truly recommend this place, it's totally worth visiting.

We were there last night and it was great! Ilhami was very nice and welcoming and made sure we had a nice meal with a nice view. All the other guys were extremely nice too and the overall atmosphere was great. The food was super and I will definitely go there again!!
