Mikla, where opened its doors in October 2005 with the idea of creating a contemporary Istanbul restaurant, it has quickly secured its place as one of the best restaurants in Istanbul.
In August 2012, by introducing "New Anatolian Cuisine”, Mikla added an extra value to its mission of quality dining and has become one of the rare restaurants that successfully raised the bar on both local and international platforms even higher.
Believing that every ingredient used in its menu fundamentally reflects the traditions of Anatolia's lands and people, Mikla has managed to reinterpret carefully selected ingredients from every corner of Anatolia with a great respect and create a long-lasting classic restaurant with a contemporary approach.
Mikla, a recipient of numerous national and international awards, is the only Turkish restaurant that has managed to be listed in “The World's 50 Best Restaurants” every year from 2015 to 2022. It achieved a significant milestone by ranking 44th among the best restaurants in the world in 2018. It has been awarded a Michelin star in both 2023 and 2024. Additionally, it has continued its longstanding success at a high level by receiving awards for the Best Manager, Best Bartender, and the Excellent Table with three toques in the Gault&Millau guide.
Located at the top of The Marmara Pera, the roof terrace bar is slightly surreal, in the midst of jasmine scents accompanied by the chilling breeze of Galata, you feel like anything is possible in this city.
Furnishings under chic minimalism, an outdoor pool, a cool DJ spinning mellow tunes, breathtaking views shimmering in the setting sun where old mosques glow like gold crowns, the bar promises to leave any new guest in awe." Generously prepared martinis and signature cocktails are highly demanded.
Mikla has been at the forefront of the Istanbul restaurant scene since its opening in October 2005, thanks to its extensive Wine List. With this list, it has earned the Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator magazine. As a result of the recent revitalization in the Turkish wine industry, it boasts a broad selection focused on Turkish wines, alongside carefully selected top-level international brands. The selection of Turkish wines is particularly notable for pairing with its menu, which focuses on Anatolian and Aegean flavors.
You can easily find wines made from the Boğazkere and Öküzgözü grapes of Eastern Anatolia to pair with Thrace's Kıvırcık lamb.
The wine list currently features 450 different labels and an inventory of approximately 4500 bottles. Alongside a daily additional selection consisting of about 8-10 different wines, there are 30 wines available by the glass. The wines are stored in a climate-controlled cellar and are also displayed in a glass wine cellar at the entrance of the restaurant. The entire service team is continuously trained, both theoretically and through various tastings, with the majority holding WSET certifications.
