The story
Isokyo delivers a focused approach to modern Asian cuisine in Istanbul. The menu bridges established Chinese recipes with bright Thai preparations inside the Raffles Istanbul hotel. Chefs build each plate around fresh vegetables and locally harvested seafood. A Gault&Millau score of twelve highlights how this careful sourcing shapes contemporary Asian cuisine.
Recent architectural updates have reshaped the entire dining floor. Wider corridors guide guests past polished stone surfaces and low wooden tables. An extended terrace captures evening breezes along the Zorlu Center walkway. Natural light floods the main room during daytime hours, creating a relaxed backdrop for business lunches or weekend dinners.
A dedicated bar occupies the corner of the renovated space. Beverage staff assemble lists featuring Turkish craft producers alongside European wine regions. The drink selection mirrors the kitchen’s preference for clean cuts and balanced acidity. Patrons often order these paired beverages while watching activity spill out onto the public plaza.
