The Restaurant
Araka, nestled in Istanbul's Yeniköy district, offers a refined dining experience that feels worlds away from the city's bustling energy. Passing the exclusive marina en route, one might even consider arriving via a scenic Bosphorus ferry. Behind a charming facade, chef Zeynep Pınar Taşdemir crafts a highly individual tasting menu showcasing seasonal ingredients with a focus on vegetables and herbs. Araka earned one Michelin star in the 2023 Michelin Guide. The restaurant's cozy, romantic interior extends to a rear terrace, creating an enchanting and intimate atmosphere. Taşdemir is known for balancing spicy and savory flavors with tangy aromas, creating exciting dishes that allow regional produce to shine.
