Mürver

Top choice in Beyoğlu


A notable recent addition to the local restaurant scene, this rooftop restaurant at the Novotel is sustaining its initial hype. The menu is dominated by meat dishes such as lamb cooked in a tandir (clay oven) or steak and chicken grilled over coals, but there are also delicious seafood and vegetable options – don't miss the octopus cooked in ash. Book ahead.

There's also a cocktail bar here (noon to 1am), but the bartenders need some serious training in cocktail-making. Order beer or wine instead; there's a good wine list.
