Ulus 29

What a beautiful view of Istanbul! We had a great table and a very outstanding dinner of Peking duck ! It was our fancy dinner of the trip and nicely surprised with the décor, location

Our visit to Ulus 29 was very nice, the views are spectacular, service was Excelent, food was good but not as I expected, prices I thought were not bad for a restaurant of its kind. Overall I was pleased with my visit, e had a group of 5 and we tried the meatballs for appetizer they were excellent, I had for main dish the Café D” Paris good but I’be had much better, my husband had the track of lamb and he liked them but also have had better, or friends had the sea bass and it was OK but nothing to rave about. If you ask me I will go to Ulus again just because of the views and the service

hm, beim Stöbern durch die Welt des Unilocal schaute ich nach Orten, in denen ich schon einmal war — und im Ulus 29 war ich tatsächlich anlässlich einer Geschäftsreise. Ganz ehrlich: privat würde ich da nicht noch einmal vorbei gehen. Das Essen war ok, wir hatte ein Menü für alle vorbestellt, aber der Service kam vorweg mit den Aperitifs nicht hinterher und als wir zum Abschluss noch ein Getränk nahmen, dauerte es ewig, bis die Rechnung kam — und die auch nur unter Murren. Im Ulus 29 herrscht eine Hektik, die keinen Spaß macht. Der Blick über den Bosporus ist zwar toll, aber so wirklich entschädigt hat er mich nicht. Ein zweitels Mal definitiv nicht.

Gorgeous restaurant, attentive staff, great food. The view from here is spectacular. Make a reservation in the summer time and ask for the terrace so you can enjoy eating outside overlooking the city. If it’s too cold, make sure to request a window table!
We tried all the lamb dishes for entrees. The best by far was the rack of lamb. It was melt-​in-​your-​mouth heavenly. The others were good too, but that one was as good as it gets.
Try the Turkish wine and a few mezzes. Everything we had here was delicious.

For those who love dining in a classy restaurant, Ulus 29 is an ideal choice. Great Bosphorus view, stylish decoration, attentive waiters and tasteful menu. Also one of unrivalled night club in the city. Come here early to have a cocktail and enjoy the amazing view. On the other hand it is overpriced considering the tiny portions.

Dining at Ulus 29 was difficult for us. On the one hand, the view, food, and service were impressive. On the other hand, the menu was so ridiculously overpriced as to take an otherwise 4.5 star review down to a solid 3. The difficulty was seeing people eat such overpriced food in a city with immense wealth inequality.
The menu itself is so expansive as to be almost confusing. Traditional Turkish dishes, classical French/​Italian cuisine, plus sushi? That said, everything was very good to excellent and I have no complaints. Great food. But the prices! They must be using solid gold bricks in the oven…$ 35-​$ 60 US for entrees is really inexcusable in a country where I can get a fantastic Turkish dinner for $ 5 US.
The wine list too was expansive and even more pricey than the menu. Wines ranged from ~$ 50 US for the lowest end Turkish wines to upwards of $ 1500 US. Average bottle was probably around $ 300 US. That’s just silly.
Bottom line: You can do much, much better in Istanbul for the money. If money is no issue, it’s worth a visit.

A fantastic view over the Bosphorus. A modern place with fine turkish food; special mention for the local grilled blue fish. A place to go for special event

Das ist eine von der jenigen Restaurants, wo man die Business-​Leute trifft. Die Bosphorus Überblick ist legendär, die Gerichte sind richtig gut, die Deko ist originell aber die Stimmung ist nicht für jeden Geschmack.

Great restaurant and club. Amazing view of the Bosphorus and Istanbul. Very cool.
