"Mehmet Gürs' New Anatolian Kitchen combines respect for tradition with a sense of innovation. Among other things, he emphasises the importance of craftsmanship and the diversity of produce that Turkey has to offer. He works with the finest ingredients and gives them pride of place in original dishes that are stripped of unnecessary fuss.Everything here revolves around the depth of the flavours. A lightly boiled and then grilled octopus tentacle, for example, is enhanced by the addition of a slightly sweet lacquer; a pickled green bean salad with purslane and apple vinaigrette provides a pleasant tanginess; add an intense vegetable gravy and dried fish eggs and you have a fascinating creation that grabs your attention with every bite. And those who avoid meat will be glad to know that the chef always offers a vegan menu. An adventure awaits you here and that also goes for the setting – the magnificent 360° view of Istanbul you get from the eighteenth floor of the Marmara Pera hotel really is the icing on the cake." - Michelin Inspector
"Since its foundation in 2005, Mikla has been a pioneer in guiding and leading restaurants in Türkiye with its wine menu. Mikla's Management Consultant and Wine Coordinator, Sabiha Apaydın Gönenli, has been making a difference with Mikla's wine menu from the first day on. Following changes made in 2012 with the transition to the New Anatolian Cuisine, Mikla sets an example as a restaurant where Turkish wines find the widest place, constantly opening space for local producers. Mikla's wine menu includes over 400 items, having nearly 290 local wines, of which around 110 are made from local grapes. The restaurant encourages small local producers by featuring them in its visionary wine list." - MICHELIN Guide
"Mikla is located on the 18th floor, at one of Istanbul’s highest points, and promises a breathtaking 360° view of the city. From the moment the lift doors open, the panorama will blow you away. From the rooftop terrace, you can admire, in particular, the beauty of the Hagia Sophia and the Topkapı Palace, both illuminated at night. This gem serves New Anatolian Kitchen, and like the location, the standard of the cuisine is sky high." - MICHELIN Guide
