I asked a local for a recommendation for a seafood restaurant and was pointed to this restaurant…read more It did not disappoint. Prices were very reasonable, and I appreciate how the staff made an extra effort to describe the menu options to me. This restaurant is located near the fisherman docks and local museum. Sometimes some menu offerings are not available, depending on the catch. The Seabass fillet was cooked perfectly. The sides worked perfectly. I ordered saksuka and they brought some other sides. The only setback was a few bites of the fish had a lingering mackerel taste, which I guess is from the grill they cook on.

While visiting Istanbul, if you like to experience casual seafood on Bosporus while quite…read moreinexpensive but delicious, this is the place to try. Tables and chairs are not fancy, and rather small but it will be an experience worth visiting this seafood place. They serve sandwich style fish in traditional Turkish bread, fried calamari, fried mussels, stuffed mussels, and fresh salad. While they don't have alcoholic beverages, you can drink traditional Turkish Ayran, ice tea, and sodas. If you have hard time locating it, just look across from the Austrian Consulate in Yenikoy.

We came to this place on a cold day to warm up and were not thinking having fish, lucky for us that…read morethis restaurant has changed its venue from seafood to serving primary kofte (a Turkish food made by minced ground beef with special spices). Staff were awesome with their recommendations and did not know how it would turn out initially but then everything were a hit. You should try both regular and cheese kofte. Highly recommended.

I'd like to thank this restaurant for turning down our request for a couple of beers and calamari,…read morewhich led to a much better experience. We ended up buying beers from a nearby shop and enjoyed them on benches by the sea, right next to the restaurant. When we asked what the minimum order requirement was, they vaguely replied with "full service," whatever that means. While they may have good reviews, policies like this are bound to drive away many potential customers. Bu restorana iki kişiye bira ve kalamar servis etmeyi reddettikleri için teşekkür etmek isterim. Bu sayede çok daha güzel bir deneyim yaşadık. Yakındaki bir Tekel'den bira alıp, restoranın hemen yanındaki deniz kenarındaki banklarda keyifle içtik. Minimum sipariş miktarını sorduğumuzda, belirsiz bir şekilde "tam servis" dediler, ne demekse. İyi yorumlara sahip olabilirler, ancak bu tür bir politika ile birçok iyi müşteriyi kaybederler.

It is literally placed on the sea and thus it has the perfect view of the Bosphorus and both of the bridges. If you are looking for a restaurant to go on a date, you should go here and get a table right next to the sea! Besides the perfect view and atmosphere, they also have great food. I have tried their marinated sea bass, butter shrimp, fried calamari and roasted pepper as mezes. The sea bass was delicious but the butter shrimp was so for the best! It was AMAZING! Huge tip: Dip your bread into the sauce of the shrimp! The taste will take you to heaven! As a main course, I had the grilled flounder fish. It was cooked perfectly, the meat was soft and juicy. I loved it! Even though it is slightly expensive, Rumelihisari Iskele is one of the best sea food restaurants. Try it and you won't regret!

Set to me means quality, as in consistency. If they serve a meze, cold or hot, there is a purpose…read moreand taste behind it. Their fish selection is always seasonal and honest. Any fish restaurant on the Bosphorus does require a level of acquiantance and mastery to get the best value for your buck. Istanbul is an expensive city and increasingly so. With fish restaurants, sky is the limit when it comes to the check. That is not the case with Set, even with the notoriously expensive liquor, i.e. raki prices in Turkey. I trust and recommend.
