Sunset Grill & Bar, Istanbul

If you were planning to spend a lot of money on food in Istanbul, you'd be advised to make the most of the whole experience by going to Sunset Grill & Bar in the warmer seasons on a very clear night. Arrive early and ask to be seated at a table in the lush garden terrace, which commands fantastic views of the gleaming Bosphorus Strait and the spectacular sunset. The menu boasts modern Californian cuisine and imaginative meat and fish dishes. There is also a sushi bar.
