About

1 Michelin Star. Chefs Kenan Çetinkaya and Pınar Korgan Çetinkaya run this intimate 12-seat counter restaurant on Istanbul's Asian side. Centered around an open fire, the cooking emphasizes the depth of Turkish flavors through bold techniques. Diners watch every dish being prepared while engaging with the chefs — an immersive experience where offal, local meats, and seasonal produce shine in small, shareable portions.
