The story
Perched atop the historic Mısır Apartmanı, 360 İstanbul delivers panoramic views across the city. The Gault&Millau guide awarded this Istanbul venue an eleven for its dynamic mix of modern Turkish cuisine and international dishes. Guests dine seven floors above the energy of İstiklal Caddesi, surrounded by elegant interiors and curated artwork. The concept treats food, entertainment, and ambiance as equal pillars, allowing the space to transition from a refined restaurant to a lively club as the evening deepens.
The kitchen emphasizes technique alongside regional ingredients. The Kirazlı Ördek offers slow-baked duck paired with spinach root and sour cherry, while the 360 Kuzu Kafes Konfi features lamb served with artichoke béchamel and mint oil. A distinct touch appears in the Sumak Melas Glaze Octopus, which brings smoky sweetness to Anna potatoes and paprika ezme. Sea lovers can choose the Miso Salmon Filet, finished with sesame green beans and cauliflower puree. The menu also bridges East and West through items like the Sosyete Kebabı, combining filet shish with Antep pistachio köfte.
Desserts introduce playful twists on traditional flavors. The Sebastian CheeseCake Değil merges tahini and helva, accented by raspberry. Fruit purists might prefer the seasonal fresh platter, while the Çikolata Orgasm layers naneli dondurma alongside sour cherry, finishing with caramel. The beverage program supports the food with a comprehensive wine list and a robust cocktail selection. This attention to pairing extends to the late-night hours, where the bar remains active well past dinner service.
