Eleos Restoran

Quiet music fits the Aegean and meyhane mood rather than dominating dinner. A regular stage schedule has not been confirmed; ask about the specific night when booking if live music matters to you.

White tones, an airy service area and Pera views create a calm space that recalls the coast in the city center. Table conversations and the pace of service matter more than a show.

Daily fish and seafood with Greek and Turkish meze, bright tables and an option to sit on the terrace. Sharing dishes and long visits are part of the traditional meyhane approach.

Couples and groups marking an occasion who want fish, meze and a quiet rakı dinner with a city view.

Neat smart casual fits this view-facing fish restaurant in Pera; consider an extra layer appropriate for the season if sitting on the terrace.

Eleos Restaurant offers a special meyhane (tavern) experience, thanks to its secluded location on the second floor of the Hıdivyal Palace, its expansive view, and an Aegean-focused seafood menu. The complimentary starters, fresh fish, and attentive service leave a strong, positive impression during most visits. Conversely, there are criticisms regarding overly oily fish, small portions, and high bills. There have also been rare but serious incidents, such as wine spilling on guests, hair found in food, or currency exchange rate issues during payment. It is a worthwhile spot for the view and the mezes; however, it is advisable to verify fish prices and the billing currency in advance.
