Known forreservations essentialaward-winningchef-driven
Chef Maksut Aşkar's research-driven restaurant inside the landmark SALT Galata building reinterprets forgotten Anatolian recipes with modern technique. The tasting menu is a genuine culinary journey through Turkey's diverse food heritage, and the wine list focuses on Anatolian producers. It is one of Istanbul's most intellectually serious restaurants — not a place for a quick bite.
