Olive Anatolian Restaurant is at Ebusuud Caddesi No:12 in Sirkeci, on the rooftop of Hotel Yasmak Sultan. It is a few minutes’ walk from Hotel Sultania, and both hotels belong to Yasmak Hotel Collection.
The kitchen is built on Ottoman and Anatolian recipes. The a la carte menu holds olive oil mezes, hand-made manti, slow-cooked lamb, Bosphorus fish and traditional desserts. Vegetarian and gluten-free dishes are not moved to a separate section; they appear on the same page as everything else.
Vegan menu
There is a separate vegan menu for guests eating entirely plant-based. Every dish on it is plant-based — no dairy, no eggs. Olive oil dishes, mezes, grain salads and keskek form its core, and vegetarians can order from it too.
Drinks
The drinks list gives weight to Turkish vineyards. Wines come from the Aegean, Thrace, and Central and Eastern Anatolia, with native grapes such as Okuzgozu, Bogazkere, Kalecik Karasi and Narince served alongside international varieties. Signature cocktails, a raki table, whisky and cognac, and alcohol-free cocktails are all on the list.
Allergies or particular dietary preferences only need to be mentioned when booking.
We would suggest dinner at sunset; from the terrace the historic peninsula and the Bosphorus are visible at the same time.
