Reviews
If you're visiting Istanbul and find yourself near Galata Bridge, do yourself a favour and stop by Fish Point Restaurant! This became our daily go-to spot during our holiday. Whether it was for a relaxing coffee, a refreshing drink, or simply watching the world go by with a stunning Bosphorus view, Fish Point never disappointed. In fact, we visited so often that we started feeling less like tourists and more like regulars! A special tip for future visitors: ask for Ali and let him read your fortune from the Turkish coffee grounds. Whether you believe in fortune telling or not, you'll leave with a smile and a great story to tell. The entire team is fantastic. From the very first visit, everyone treated us like friends rather than customers. The atmosphere is warm, welcoming, and full of genuine hospitality. Amazing people, great coffee, delicious drinks, and unforgettable memories. We highly recommend Fish Point to anyone visiting Istanbul. Thank you for making our holiday even more special! Best regards, Erika & Timi

We came to this restaurant for the second time, and honestly, the service is excellent. The place is clean, and their fish is delicious. It's definitely worth trying. And a special thanks to the waiter, Ali, for his outstanding service. 😋👍🏻👍🏻
