Gault & Millau Türkiye 2 Toques
Gault & Millau Türkiye 2 Toques in 2026 follows Michelin Plate recognition in 2024 and 2025. That sustained recognition makes Zuma İstanbul a credential-led choice within a modern Japanese izakaya plan.
Miso Marinated Black Cod and robata
Modern Japanese izakaya cooking anchors the menu, with Miso Marinated Black Cod, robata grilled dishes, and beef gyoza among signatures. Japanese contemporary framing suits diners planning around shared plates.
İstinye Mahallesi with sake and cocktails
İstinye Mahallesi Bayır Çıkmazı sets the Sarıyer location, while craft cocktails and sake shape the drinks side. Smart casual dress, lively noise, and leisurely pacing fit a dinner scheduled with room to stay.
