Par Ocakbaşı Emirgan

A new ocakbaşı in Emirgan, on the Bosphorus road. The address is Emirgan Sahil, Sarıyer, Istanbul.

The place is new enough that the neighborhood still argues about the reservation rules, which is usually a sign the first sittings are landing. That is the kind of detail a listing usually buries under a cuisine tag, and it is why the place is on this feed rather than a roundup of 'new places.'

Müdavim listed it among Istanbul’s newest places. Confirm hours on the listing before you cross town. Go for the place first — the turkish grill is the reason to sit down, but the building is the reason the sitting feels like Istanbul and not a concept flown in last week.
