Rumelihisarı İskele Restaurant

Beautiful location. Must go. Delicious food. Can be expensive. It’s worth it.

This place has been a favourite the five years we have been living in Istanbul from 2001 to 2006. We are always coming back when travelling there again and it never disappoints! Super fresh delicious food. The classics that never disappoint. Very attentive and friendly staff. It has an old world vibe to me that I love. The food can hardly be topped but I think the view of the Bosporus comes close as you are sitting directly over it.

Amazing food, beautiful see view and friendly staff.

One of the finest experiences on this trip is the group dinner we had here in Rumelihisar Iskele Restaurant. The food, wine and beer was good. The service is outstanding. The fish was my catch for the night. My hosts were awesome. Since appreciations.

İskele Balıkçısı: Dining Amidst Bosphorus’s Splendid Views

At İskele Balıkçısı, you feel almost as if you’re dining in the middle of the Bosphorus, thanks to its stunning location offering some of the most beautiful views of the strait. The restaurant maintains a consistent quality in both taste and service, adhering to a certain standard that sets it apart.

While there may not be an immediately standout signature dish, the overall dining experience is satisfying, with each dish meeting a high standard of quality. The pricing is justifiably in line with its prime location and the level of service provided.

One notable aspect is the clientele, which tends to be on the older side, reflecting perhaps the establishment’s appeal to a more traditional crowd. İskele Balıkçısı is a perfect choice for those seeking a classic seafood dining experience in an unbeatable Bosphorus setting.

Tasty food and good service,
wonderful view of the bosphorus.
Minuse: bill does not correspond to the ordered dishes, since the price for bread and water is also included, about 70 liras (this is expensive for bread and water 70 liras).

Wow. Amazing food and I’m not huge on fish. The ceviche of sea bass is excellent, highly recommend the shrimp and also loved the mixed fish. Beautiful view of the Bosphorus.

Wonderful fish restaurant right on the Bosphorus shores with the obvious amazing views. The fish is delicious, and the service impeccable! Expect prices accordingly but it's worth it!!!

We ordered a whole seabass (5kg) for our table of 8, the fish was grilled to perfection. Very tasty and clean. 4 of us shared a bottle of a very good Turkish white wine which was recommended by the waiter. The staff were polite and professional. The total came about 8k lira which seemed reasonable.

Friendly staff, excellent food, just what you need after a long walk

Great food, amazing views, friendly service! Strongly recommended!

Great view, delicious food, very good service. These are not only things that I can mention about this restaurant. It’s Michelin guided and really worth it. We had very good time with family. It’s perfect place if you have guests, especially from abroad.

Night view of the bridge is breath taking. Food and service were flawless.

Remarkable location and view
Also food is sooooo good
Not kids friendly

One of the best place. It is just on the water. Looking at beautiful Bosporus.

One of the best authentic seafood restaurant with astonishing view. I prefer late lunch to enjoy the view

A very nice an elegant sea food restaurant. Location is perfect by the sea and even more romantic at night seeing the Bridge with different colours.
It is not a budget restaurant but an expensive one.
Also main dishes prices are not written.
I ordered a fish plate as seen which was very tasty and costs 150 lyra.

Fish restaurant with a view to the Bosphorus second bridge. Huge choice of different fish with various choices of preparation.

Great place, fantastic atmosphere
Beautiful view over Bosphorus

Great location tasty food but because it's on the water it was a little cold when I visited. I can not fault the food and service it was very good.
