Ararat Terrace Restaurant & Rooftop

Soft international and local background music sets the tone. There is no fixed artist, live music or DJ schedule; confirm any special event when booking.

Close views of historic buildings, outdoor seating and warm evening lighting create a relaxed yet polished terrace. After sunset, city lights make the tables feel romantic and photogenic.

Breakfast through dinner service, a rooftop terrace, cocktails, beer and wine, and hookah all under one roof. View facing tables can be reserved, and groups are welcome.

Couples, families and tourist groups visiting Sultanahmet, friends extending a scenic dinner with cocktails or hookah, and guests booking a table for an occasion.

Casual to smart casual clothes are welcome, including those worn on a day of Sultanahmet sightseeing. Choose a more polished city outfit for evening celebrations.

Reviews for Ararat Terrace Restaurant & Rooftop highlight the view stretching across the Historic Peninsula and Sultanahmet as the venue's strongest asset. Most visitors find the food delicious, the ingredients fresh, the service fast, and the staff warm and helpful; the cleanliness and reasonable pricing—considering the location—are also frequently praised. Many specifically recommend it for breakfast or dinner accompanied by the view. Conversely, one visitor found the breakfast quality and portion size to be below expectations, the service slow, and the price of water high. Overall assessments are decidedly positive.
