Gaja Roof Restaurant - The hot spot of Istanbul's restaurant scene

Since last summer there has been a new highlight on Istanbul’s restaurant scene. This is the exclusive Gaja Roof Restaurant at Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul. After a two year modification costing about two million Euros, the Gaja Roof Restaurant on the roof terrace of the Leading Hotels of the World reopened last year.

The restaurant has developed into a hotspot on Istanbul’s restaurant scene. Here on the 16th floor of the hotel, you can enjoy the creative cuisine of star chef Dominic Jack, against a magnificent, unique backdrop, which includes a view of the Bosphorus. The Scotsman was previously Deputy Head Chef at the three star Parisian restaurant “Taillevent”. The restaurant’s modern menu offers a varied selection, including the classic goose liver terrine, organic chicken, and unusual dishes, such as a seafood lasagne. The menu is complemented by a fine wine list, which offers a selection of more than 119 wines. You can find wines from top wine-growing districts and renowned vineyards, such as Château Latour, Château Petrus, Louis Latour, Angelo Gaja, Sassicaia, Opus One and Almaviva.

The counterpart to the Gaja Roof Restaurant is the Gaja Restaurant inside the Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul. The Gaja Restaurant was designed by the renowned Turkish interior designer Sinan Kafadar. The modern and minimalist design of the restaurant is only surpassed by the absolutely magnificent view over the Bosphorus. Here guests can also enjoy the cooking skills of Dominic Jack.

Swissôtel The Bosphorus, Istanbul is on the European side of the city and lies in a beautiful park, which is part of the former sultan’s palace, the Dolmabahce Palace.

Reservations for the Swissôtel The Bosphorus in Istanbul can be made on Swissotel.com or directly in the hotel.
