2 wordS: RIDICULOUS and UNREASONABLE. cons: too expensive, way overrated, limited options in the menu(only 5) pros: nice view, huge selection of wine, small balcony to mingle and meet new faces go there only for a cup of coffee or ice cream or wine, besides that, waste of money and time. more

My girlfriiend and me ended up in this restaurant by coincidence, just because it was close to the hotel... we were lucky to get a table. If you go in the evening I would recommend to make a reservation. And after reading the other reviews I have to agree: The selling point of this restaurant is the great view! But... more

Living in Istanbul since 5 years, i have visited mikla twice already and both time left disappointed. But the worst came last Monday ( 28 September). Booked a table for 4, my wife, i and a couple of friend visiting us from Hong Kong. After seating, we decide to try their tasting menu. Since the menu is only served by... more

I'd venture to say Mikla has one of the best views in Istanbul--if you are seated in the right part of the restaurant. We were disappointed that our table was nowhere near the windows, i.e., the view. Make sure you ask when you make a reservation. Also, somehow our reservation got mixed up and the host was rather rude about... more

The restaurant, at the top of the Marmara Pera Hotel, has amazing views over most of central Istanbul. Better yet, take the stairs up to the roof and you can admire this giant city in any direction you want. Now, the views would make up for even the most mediocre food. But it doesn't have to. The food is great.... more

One of the best nights I had in Istanbul started with drinks on the roof deck at Mikla watching the sun go down over Istanbul. The space is lovely, the drinks fabulous, and the DJ played wonderful music as the sky darkened and the lights went on all over Istanbul. Seeing Sultanhamet, with all its mosques lighting up was magical.... more

It's really all about the views. The food was above average, the service a little slow. But the real reason to come here is for the early evening views of Sultanahmet & the Golden Horn. We will definitely go again if back in Istanbul. more

Mikla is a world class restaurant. The view is breathtaking! The service is very good but not snobish. What sets the Mikla apart though is the high level of its food. We had the degustation menu with wine for 100 euros per person and that is a great deal for the wines offered (all DLC from Turkey) are exceptional and... more

The best we had in Istanbul. The hotel is not attractive, but don't mind. The restaurant is on top, on the highest floor. And it looks very classy! We've tried the gourmet diner. You'll get more then 10 small dishes. The one more delicious then the other. Service is great. Wines are great as well. more
