Toi Lounge - Istanbul

Second visit after 1 year. even better service and eat! live dj, play amazing and lifting music in the background without interrupting the communication at the table was a great addition. it is not typical Turkish eating, but a high-end fusion version with mostly high-quality local ingredients from different parts of the country. also the wine selection by the sommelier was great, and please try them before-dinner cocktails that are not too missing! it is a great place to enjoy their time while they are in istanbul.

I visited this restaurant for the second time after a year and was even more impressed with the service and food. The live DJ playing fantastic and upbeat music in the background added to the ambiance without being disruptive. The menu offers a high-end fusion version of Turkish cuisine, using mostly high-quality locally sourced ingredients from various regions of the country. The selection of wine recommended by the Sommelier was excellent, and I highly recommend trying their pre-dinner cocktails. Overall, it's a fantastic spot to enjoy a meal and relax while in Istanbul.

Excellent appetizers and main dish, waiters were very friendly, I was with my family we had ribs, lamb and mouth. Environment not at the same level as food, street noise and lack of prospects. Dessert was good, but not at the same level as main dish, we had coffee chocolate mousse and cheesecake. Too expensive.

We were delighted to discover a fantastic restaurant in Istanbul. The restaurant had a sophisticated atmosphere and pleasant background music. The menu featured a combination of local and international dishes created by the chef. The service was exceptional, with knowledgeable waitstaff and sommeliers who were able to provide detailed explanations. We decided to try the chef's recommendations for our main courses, which included lobster and crab. The dishes were prepared exactly as requested and we were thoroughly impressed with the taste and quality of the meal overall.

The Turkish fusion cuisine at this restaurant is superb and innovative. The presentation and service are top-notch. Chef Ismet Saz was personable and even gave us a tour of the kitchen. While we couldn't get a reservation for the Koch's table, our regular table experience was still excellent. We opted for the tasting menu with wine pairings, including some fantastic Turkish wines. The prices were fair considering the quality of the food and service. We highly recommend the gourmet night experience when in Istanbul.
