I had such a wonderful experience here! The restaurant has a beautiful terrace with an amazing view and the service was good. The prices are also very reasonable for such a great location and atmosphere. At the end of my meal, they kindly offered me Turkish tea and baklava, which was such a lovely touch. I really enjoyed my time here and would definitely come back. Highly recommended!

The restaurant has amazing views from the terrace. Very friendly staff, and delicious food. Grilled fish (dorado) was very tasty. The fish in a clay pot was served in unexpected way which was very different. Great restaurant. Highly recommend.

I had a great time at Contra Mar! My server, Muammer was excellent and the food was very good - and the cocktails were even better! The view is very nice, especially at Sunset, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Definitely recommend coming here!

An amazing dining experience with one of the most breathtaking views of the Bosphorus. The rooftop atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, making it the perfect place to enjoy dinner while admiring the stunning scenery of Istanbul. I had the Izgara Köfte, which was juicy, flavorful, and perfectly grilled, showcasing the authentic taste of Turkish cuisine. The service was friendly and attentive throughout the evening. The combination of delicious food, outstanding service, and a spectacular Bosphorus view makes this rooftop a must-visit destination in Istanbul. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable dining experience.
