Probably the best place in Istanbul with European and Japanese cuisine, good service even by the standards of Novikov's Moscow establishments. Prices are also at the level of the best establishments in the capital, dinner with wine in the region of 300-400 Euros for 2. I really liked the hookah, it can be ordered in a separate banquet hall for 6-10 people. The cost of a hookah is 60 Euros.
The entrance to the establishment is through the main entrance of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. If you do not stay at the hotel, then you need to keep in mind that there are time intervals in the hotel (around 16-17h) when the restaurant is closed and dinner is served for the guests. You can reserve a table, but it's for dinner. If you are not hungry and planned to stop by at this time for a cocktail, a light snack or to drink tea with desserts, you will not be imprisoned. The staff is very qualified and friendly. Prices, when compared with Moscow, are definitely higher. But it's delicious.
The staff is attentive, the atmosphere is luxurious, one of my favorite restaurants. The food is very tasty, the fish is fresh. The view is excellent on the Bosphorus. There is nothing to complain about.
The Novikov restaurant is one of the most exquisite restaurants!!!! My favorite in London!!!! On an evening yacht trip along the Bosphorus, we saw this restaurant "Novikov" and immediately decided to visit it. Upon entering the restaurant, we liked everything, and later too: delicious food, not bad service. We came for lunch... but as usual in London, it turns into dinner. But then, as they say, things did not go according to plan ..., There was a change of staff. A girl, a waiter, came up to us. For what reason she thought it was time for us, I can't explain… I was finishing the dish. I was asked: Are you done? Although I have a piece in my mouth, I couldn't even answer right away. She began to clean the dishes: plates, cutlery. And then, it's terrible! They started pouring white wine into my red wine!!!! I have not seen such a service! I want to repeat once again that the Novikov restaurant chain is the most refined chain! We love the London restaurant, and we really liked the Dubai one. But here there is some kind of non-docking!!! It's a pity! I hope this is an isolated case! And it will be fine in the future.
A chic restaurant, excellent service, the cuisine is on top! I ordered salmon tacos - super tasty as an appetizer, the main course is sea bass with grilled vegetables - 5 points! Pinot Grigio wine is light, delicious and floral! definitely ready to visit and more than once👍🏼
The service is so-so, the food is so-so, the price is clearly too high for everything that is there. The interior and the contingent are good. Don't order pasta, it's terrible.
