Leb-i Derya offers one of the most spectacular Bosphorus views in Istanbul. But the building is very old.. Be careful.. Perched high above the city, it’s the kind of restaurant where dinner feels like an experience — the skyline, the lights, and the water create a setting that’s hard to forget. The atmosphere is elegant yet relaxed, capturing the essence of modern Istanbul dining. The menu balances seafood, meze, and meat dishes with refined simplicity. The sea bass ceviche and grilled octopus are standout plates, and the cocktails are crafted with care. Service is polished and friendly, though it can slow down a little during peak hours. Perfect for a romantic dinner or for hosting visitors who want to see Istanbul at its best. Tip: Arrive just before sunset to catch the golden light over the Bosphorus — it’s the moment when the restaurant feels truly magical. Reservations are highly recommended.

Very nice dinner ! The place is beautiful with a great view on the Bosphore and more ! I booked a table and specified I needed a table neer the window and the request has been respected. We were really satisfied and the food amazing. This was a great moment. Thank you Poyraaz for the service.

Absolutely one of the best restaurants we have visited together over the past few years! Incredibly designed place tucked away up a staircase up an elevator and up another staircase. Once you’re to the top you’re surrounded by absolute beauty, a friendly staff, and world class food. Can’t say enough good things about the mushroom/potato appetizer, the grilled sea bass, and the loin/meatball entree...can’t wait to go back
