I have had the opportunity to dine at Borsa restaurant on multiple occasions over the past three years as it is located inside a historical palace with the best view of Istanbul, and based on my average rating for these visits, I would rate it three stars. Here's my detailed review: One aspect that has consistently stood out during my visits is the pricing. Borsa restaurant remains on the higher end of the price spectrum, with a cost of 90 USD per person. It's worth noting that this pricing seems unjustifiably high when compared to other fine dining establishments offering similar cuisine with stunning sea views at a 40% lower cost. The restaurant could benefit from reevaluating its pricing strategy to align with the overall value provided. When it comes to the food, the experience has been inconsistent. Although some dishes have been enjoyable, the overall taste has been average at best. Approximately 75% of the dishes I've tried were tasty, but there were instances where the lamb chops were not cooked to my liking. The lack of consistency in preparing such a fundamental dish is disappointing and indicates room for improvement in the kitchen. Moreover, the cold dishes have consistently fallen short in terms of taste. They have been lacking flavor and failed to leave a lasting impression. This consistent weak point in the menu affects the overall dining experience and should be addressed to elevate the culinary offerings. In terms of service, I have noticed a recurring issue. The staff at Borsa restaurant has consistently lacked the friendliness and warmth expected from a fine dining establishment. It is essential for the staff to create a welcoming and attentive atmosphere to enhance the overall dining experience. Addressing this area would greatly contribute to a more satisfying visit. Tips for the management: I encourage the restaurant to consider the above points and make necessary improvements to provide a more consistent and enjoyable dining experience for their patrons.

This restaurant might just be the best fine dining experience in Istanbul. Everything from the taste of the food to the waiters is perfect. The warm bread and butter with cheese served before the meal are excellent. For starters, I tried the keşkek, pilaki, and leaf liver. The keşkek has a more neutral flavor but is worth trying. The pilaki is oniony and flavorful. The leaf liver is thinly sliced but a bit dry. The main course, lamb tandoori, was truly great. The outer part of the meat was perfectly caramelized and the inside was tender. The rice served alongside was a bit dry, but it had a nice sweet and spicy flavor. The chocolate soufflé we had for dessert was also successful. The politeness of the waitstaff is really good. This place is definitely worth visiting, not just for its beautiful view and historic building, but also for its delicious food and service.

Great food and great service makes it a fantastic venue for dinner. Arrive for sunset to make the most of the unique view over looking the Bosphorus. During the summer most likely will be a wedding happening so sit back and gate crash a wedding via proxy. Good choice of wine, beers and big selection of foods for all tastes.

We went there for lunch as a family of 4 adults and 2 kids. The view is the best you can get, the food is average and the service is average. The price is on the high side. Overall it worth the experience specially on the day time.

This is one of the best restaurants to take your foreign friends out for a descent dinner and for the "amazing" view of Bosphorus in the terrace. Borsa is owned by Dream group so the quality of food is very good. I haven’t noticed anything special on the menu, and I don’t really have a favorite food there. But everyone can find something good quality to eat. The staff and the service is ok. There is a valet service. That’s a plus for me. This location is also very much preferred for wedding parties, there might be some live music to accompany you while you dine. If you are not keen on loud music, ask to be seated towards the entrance of the terrace. During the winter, I prefer this place for lunch. The inner spaces are very nicely decorated and lunch times are less crowded and more private.
