What travelers say:
Neolokal is recognized by many as the best restaurant in Turkey, and I went there with great expectations. For me, I like two types of restaurants the most: traditional and authentic, or innovative. Neolokal gave me the feeling that it wanted to innovate, but it could not break away from traditional thinking, and the overall taste was average. However, the companions who dined with me that night were very chatty, which made up for the regret in food.

It was very difficult to book a table. I left early for fear of being late. Fortunately, I arrived early and the place was almost full. I ate 10 dishes in two hours. The taste was really worth praising, but the speed was too slow, which was a bit disappointing. However, I still have to admit that it was a wonderful night. This place is worth visiting twice.
The staff, food and views were all great and the tasting menu and wine pairings were absolutely perfect
We had a great experience in terms of food presentation, taste, stunning night view, lighting.
The view from the restaurant is amazing and the ambience is very cozy.
