It reminds the cote of…read morearms of old times and asking yourself " Do they use five different knives when they prepare the meats? ". None of them is the right answer. Beş Bıçak Steakhosue is a meart heaven founded by 5 tough young men. The venue is located very far from us and center of Istanbul. When we asked the reason of this they told us there are not any venue in this region with a right taste and quality and that region needs a qualified venue. They have preferred to become the biggest in a small area instead of becoming a small option in a big region. The venue has been designed exactly as steakhouse concept. The inside area was very chic. They have a wooden bull head work with tide effect on the ceiling which we have not seen like that before. Dry aged meats were demonstrating in a nice fridge. Grill section was in a visible area but they do not bother you in sitting area. You can easily watch the how they cook the meats. We tried a lot of kinds as small portions on the evening of we went. Starters and warm starters; Zahter salad: It was a salad kind that we have never met in any steakhouse before. Its taste was balanced nicely. It was successful and very matching with the meats. We completly finished the salad plates. Smoked beef with cheddar sauce: They are preparing in a hot pot in front of you. Thanks to the taste of cheddar cheese we cleaned up our plates. They should decrease only the level of salt. B&B sausage with halloumi: The sausage prepared by themselves was delicious. Grilled oyster mushroom: It is a common taste for many steakhouses. They cooked it in a juicy and tasty way in here. It was the best one among the we have eaten before. As main course; Lokum: It was very soft like its name. We finished it in a short time. B&B Beef Special: They were the meats like döner cooked very shortly in the grill. Thin cut meat lovers will definetly love it. Dry aged entrecote: It was the most successful meat kind among serving ones. Its consistency and fattiness was superb. It should become the first choice. B&B Lamb Special: Grilled back meat of lamb are slicing and braising with fat in hot casserole. We loved the presentation and the taste as lamb lovers. Lamb Shoulder Tandoori: #tandooriislife. Its taste and consistency were perfect. We totally cleaned up it. You must watch the moment of extracting the bones from meat. B&B Burger: Its fattiness, taste of the meat, made from minced meat without sinewy, its breas and its sides. It was a wonderful burger with its everything. We ate local pistachio flaky pastry with icecream as dessert. Its taste was successful but it should be harder. It was softened a bit because of icecream. If they serve the icecream in a seperate cup it would be better. Service was successful, prices were affordable, ambiance was nice and also taste was good. If its location is appropriate for you there is no reason not to visit here. Do not miss their signature products starting with B&B.

In the beginning I was served a dish of cold cuts with cheese which I didn't order, I thought it might've been a compliment from the restaurant, but I ended up billed for it. Don't know if this was some kind of misunderstanding or an intentional rip off. Anyway, if I ever go, I will try sticking to their steaks.

This steakhouse is purely an experience.

The three stars I attribute to this restaurant solely derive from that. The service was great -- the waiters leaned into the dramatics of cooking, cutting, and presenting the food. While there's both indoor and outdoor seating, for a fancier dining experience, the interior is better. The two stars I deduct come down to the quality and price point of what we ordered. As I mentioned prior, the visual appeal of our orders were certainly there. However, the quality was not. Considering the hype and high-end feel to this steakhouse, the food seemed to taste in strike contrast. As we were at a steakhouse, I of course had to go for the steak and was unfortunately disappointed. The meat sushi was okay. And while the performance of cutting and presenting the baklava was nice, the taste itself was not anything special in comparison to other baklava serving spots readily available throughout the city. Considering such, we were paying what I felt was a disproportionate amount to the quality we consumed. It seems that the price point of the dishes here reflect more of the experience tied to salt bae and the dramatics than the actual quality of the food. And that's okay! I honestly expected that, but hoped for more. But at the end of the night, we were certainly not upset but glad we could experience this the one time we did. If you're looking for a memorable experience, this is your spot. If you're purely looking for a quality steakhouse...look elsewhere!

Not sure if Baltazar is from an entrepreneur, but it definitely feels like. So someone with enough investment wanted to start a new franchise. You know what i like better, restaurants opened up by chef's who put their years of hard work, their soul, and their heart. It's a general problem with Karakoy area, so many cool places, but you feel everything is artificial. Just like Baltazar. I'm sure given a few more years these places will start to find their character. One kudos to them, their meat is really really tasty. But they really need the attention, care, and passion to cook it better and serve it better. They should goo look for traditional Turkish restaurants and learn from their care for their food and customers. If a steak house brings you well done, even though you asked medium, it's just not caring. I'm sure they know how to cook medium. Ohh... And I asked for an espresso and they said the machine is not working. I told them they are surrounded by cafes go and bring me from one of them. They thought about it, discussed it and after 5 mins they brought me a cup from the cafe next door. Any good Turkish restaurant would do it in a heartbeat, without a debate. So you see good service is not a decision, it's an impulse.
