Is Olive Restaurant good for lunch?

The kitchen opens at 12:00, and the whole à la carte menu is available at lunch.

It makes a convenient break if you are walking the Historical Peninsula — five minutes from Hagia Sophia and Topkapı, 50 metres from the Gülhane tram stop.

Midday is the quietest time on the terrace, and in daylight the view runs clear out to the Bosphorus.

If you are coming as a group, we have buffet and set menu options.
