"Constantine’s Ark has racked up great reviews since its 2015 opening on a cobbled side street of Sirkeci, where it stands out amid the mostly casual dining options. Here, you can expect a polished experience along with a selection of regional cuisine from Turkey, Ottoman specialty dishes, and international favorites. The restaurant is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. If you have tickets to see a show at Hodjapasha Cultural Centre or need refueling before spending up at the Spice Bazaar, then Constantine’s Ark is an ideal place to stop. It also happens to be a five-minute walk from the Sirkeci Tram Station and Marmaray Train Station, meaning it’s easy to get to from anywhere in the city."

Amazing experience—one of the best in Istanbul. Authentic flavors, friendly staff, and an upscale vibe with traditional Turkish ambiance. Highly recommend this place, you will love it. Prices are reasonable for the experience, albeit being higher than other places in Istanbul. It’s worth it, the food and access to local shops is excellent.

Had sea bass which was delicious and a chicken pizza that was ok. Nice wine selection and icy cold beers. Just make sure to negotiate on the price of the food and the wine. Honest and very welcoming. Enjoyed.

As it was Mother's Day at home (Scotland), we wanted to treat Mammy to a nice meal. We stumbled across Constantine's by accident. And what a happy accident it was. Unreal food. Excellent atmosphere and wonderful hosts. A touch of class in the old town... We enjoyed it so much, we went back for our last meal in Istanbul. They even offered to source me a lamp that I admired! You'd be silly not to dine here. 💛

Great food, atmosphere and staff. The staff are really friendly and the service is great. I first found this place when walking past and I noticed they were showing Formula 1, they said I could sit and watch it which was great (they also show other sports).

What a lovely place to visit! The staff were welcoming and very accommodating. The food is out of this world… outstanding to say the least! A must restaurant to eat out on your visit to Istanbul. Friendly for families or couples. We were invited to a complimentary drink at the end which is an experience if you want to try something authentic from Istanbul - ‘Raki’ 💃🍾

Very nice Service, fresh and good food. Nice atmosphere and good calm music, not too loud so you can still keep a nice conversation. We sat inside and been very happy with everything, as you can see how much attention they pay at service. Thank you

The food quality was very good and the taste was delicious. The waiter fulfilled my request even though they did not have it (pickled peppers), but he provided it for me from another restaurant. I thank him for his good treatment. Also i can’t wait to visit this restaurant to next travel, and I visited it after tow days, and thanks to Mr. Rajab 💐 The restaurant is very nice. I recommend trying it 👍🏻

This was my first meal in Turkey and it surpassed any expectations! The staff was very kind and friendly and the portions were incredibly generous. The sesame house bread was SO good and the baklava…seriously delicious. Maybe one of the best I’ve had before. Highly recommend!
