Galata Sanat Restaurant

The location of the restaurant under the bridge spanning the Bosphorous was ideal for a relaxing and enjoyable dinner with great views of the cityline, the waterfront, boats and perfect sunset view. The restaurant staff were friendly and efficient, even seating our party of 4 at a table for 6, just so we could have a comfortable experience and the most ideal view of the waterfront. They all spoke English and were spot on with their recommendations from the menu and even giving diners a pick of the fresh fish available (brought right to your table so you can see the freshness and make a choice). The menu featured a wide mix of appetisers, starters and main courses of mainly Turkish fare plus some western dishes and vegetarian options for those that may want it. Our mixed platter starter plus some side dishes were a perfect start to the meal, with everything tasting very good. The main dish of a barbequed sea bass with sides of french fries, salad and pilaf rice was done to perfection. To top it off, the staff expertly deboned the fish at the table, so we didn't have to do it. Closing the menu was a complimentary plate of fruits and baklava. A most enjoyable meal by the river which we would receommend to anyone visiting Istanbul.

Having asked for a balik eymak , they behaved so abnormal, took off the plates and removed the napkins from tables. it seems they only treat customers well if they see they will spend a reasonably high value of money . Something normal and basic is not in their dictionary.

Great staff! Great sea food! Definitely THE restaurant to visit in Istanbul!!!

Locale molto caratteristico sul Ponte di Galata. Vista eccezionale, ambiente classico con musica turca di sottofondo (gradevole). Cucina classica con meze discreti, pesce cucinato bene (magari non saporito come altri ma ben fatto). Prezzzo onesto.

Totally excellent! I want to come back in the future.

Excellent food and drink with friendly service from the staff

The mezze platter had various food and the salt-bake fish on fire was an extra bonus.

Hervorragend, super aufmerksame Bedienung. Schöne Portionen, Geschmack sehr gut Kann über gar nichts meckern
