Ralph Radtke, General Manager of Çırağan Palace Kempinski Istanbul, says, “We have stepped into a brand-new era where we blend a sophisticated style with a unique harmony inspired by the history of the Çırağan Palace.”

Akdeniz by Esra Muslu delights guests with a unique Mediterranean cuisine theme. With a large seating area and wood fire-cooked dishes prepared for sharing, the restaurant charms guests with its Mediterranean-themed decorations and enchanting Bosphorus views.

The four separate square seating groups, each reflecting the charm of a specific flower, add to the ambience’s heartwarming harmony.
