Spago

We stayed at the St Regis just so we could dine here. The food, ambiance was just as we expected BUT the hotel staff stole all my lingerie! We left Istanbul after management laughed in my face when we reported it. Spagos was the only good thing that came out of our trip, just don’t stay were they are housed. Reported this to Wolfgang Puck after I was informed that he hadn’t been there personally in 9 months!

Go for the Sunday brunch. It is a 3 hour life changing experience. 185TR…195 with glass of sparkling wine.

Compared to the flagship Beverly Hills version, this place would get 3 stars. However, as a nice rooftop restaurant in Istanbul, it deserves 4. Their location at the top of St. Regis hotel provides a great view and an enjoyable atmosphere.
As for the food, we ordered the agnolotti, mac&cheese, filet mignon, and shrimp. Except for the filet mignon (which was a bit dry) rest of our food tasted great.
Although I enjoyed the food, the servers come off a bit snobbish in the beginning. Our’s tried explaining what a mac&cheese was. Who the hell would not know that?

Food was amazing. I had jumbo shrimp as main course and mac and cheese as sider and both of them were really fine. Service is good and people are very friendly. The place turns into a bar later on.

Another very nice top restaurant. In a chic neighbourhood of Istanbul, Spago is located at the 7^th and last floor of the hotel St Regis, a brand new 5 stars. The whole decoration is really luxury, and the first surprise stands in the opportunity to admire a genuine Bottero painting just near lifts that will bring you up to the restaurant. When you exit the lift you will face the huge and transparent wine cellar with premium bottles such as Château Petrus !! Then you join your table either outside on the roof top or inside with a 270 degrees view. Already a great experience ! The menu propose various and creative dishes, let’s say that you dive into fusion food with some Italian inspirations. Evry dish is really perfect: fresh product, perfect cooking, great accomodation, and nice presentation. We had scallop carpaccio, red tuna in cornetto, giant prawns, gnocchi alla bolognese, red mullet, Beef T bones, homemade sorbet, chocolate soufflé, … and so on. Everything was perfect with nive service and very good lounge jazzy music. For sure you should go there if you want to enjoy a refined and unforgettable moment
