Tugra
Turkey
Tuğra occupies the historic palace section of Çırağan Palace Kempinski, where Ottoman and Turkish cooking is served above the Bosphorus. High ceilings, marble columns and timber doors frame the dining room, while large windows and a terrace give the water a strong presence at the table. The kitchen draws on the culinary traditions of the Ottoman court and wider Turkey. A chef’s tasting menu offers a sequence of dishes alongside the restaurant’s other selections. The combination of palace architecture and Turkish food gives Tuğra a distinct connection to its setting, with the Bosphorus visible through dinner.
