Don’t come to Supperclub Istanbul if you’re in search of a traditional restaurant, have lazy taste buds or are scared of new experiences.

However, if you’re looking for an unusual dinner experience in an unexpected place and are not afraid to discover the creative corners of your personality, then knock on supperclub’s door.

There`s only a fixed menu and it`s a secret what will be served; supperclub dinner is a surprice fort he guests. The presentation of the food is a piece of art. Food and drinks are served with style, in a special way, with service and attention. They stimulate all senses. Often we hear our costumers saying; “I have never had this before!” The menu is not presenting one culture, but is international with dishes inspired by different countries.

Art at the Supperclub is something that`s never seen anywhere else before, especially developed for Supperclub, inspired by supperclub. Supperclub serves as an artist-platform, but not just a gallery. Preferably, the artwork that`s shown serves a broader interest in our society, it makes a supperclub statement.

Music at the Supperclub is not a wallpaper, the music accompanies the food, art and the performances and guides the guests though the night. The DJ “feels” the guests and plays with the moods and the feelings, is always surprising. DJ`s don`t dominate (volume), and they respond to the atmosphere and also get inspired by the staff.

Performances at supperclub are never shown anywhere else before. It connects with supperclub; It`s stylish, shocking, seductive and more.. There is a lot of interaction with the guests. They are part of the performance too sometimes, performers make sure that they don`t just lay back and await the performance. “what time starts the show?” is a question that we can`t really answer. The staff and chefs are “performing” too and make it work all together. A performance is not just about getting applause, it`s about giving food for thought. Important: a night is not static. It can be small, sink in, then grab your attention again. Concepts or themes grow during the night, this way our guests “think along with” the performance. Performances show evolution and growth, so people grow with it.

Supperclub is a place where you can enjoy; art, entertainments, food, drinks, dj`s vj`s and much more, while laying on the bed. We are a restaurant that transforms into a club at night. A platform for artists and performers. Our audiance is generally open-minded, cosmopolic, adventurous, international and have interest in culture, architecture, fasion and lifestyle. They like to brake tradition and are always lookign for experience.

Freedom is the keyword at Supperclub. It’s a mix of food, music, performances, art their staff and you. An evening at supperclub Istanbul has been successful when all your five senses have been tickeld.

Papermoon Istanbul is popular among Istanbul high society and famous people and as trendy as anything in Los Angeles or New York. Most popular dishes include linguine, seafood pappardelle, gorgonzola gnocchi and spaghetti vongole.

With its sophisticated design, tranquil atmosphere, meticulous service and delicious food, the world-famous Italian restaurant Paper Moon has been successfully serving in Istanbul since 1996 following Milan and New York.

Enrica and Pio Rossi founded this elite restaurant, which was named after the movie titled Paper Moon. The duo, which opened their first restaurant in Milan 30 years ago, is preparing the menus with the target of modernizing the cuisine by creating light and fresh dishes. With its delicious menus, mainly comprised of pasta, pizza and salad variations and a cozy atmosphere, the restaurant became so popular that the partners opened their second restaurant in New York within 12 years in 1989. Following this restaurant, Paper Moon became internationally renowned and soon it was a drop-in spot for those who crave for thin-dough Italian pizza.

The third Paper Moon was opened in 1996 in Akmerkez, Istanbul, as a Turkish-Italian joint venture and soon became one of the hottest spots of Istanbul, both for lunch breaks and elegant dinners. This attraction was owed to the delicious dishes and quality wine cellar as well as the touch of Tony Chi, who also designed Paper Moon New York. Paper Moon Istanbul has a size of 610 m. In addition to the 60-seat-capacity bar, 160 people can be served simultaneously in three different halls. The harmonic use of wood and leather draws attention in the main hall, which has a rather stylish ambiance.

Paper Moon, which offers seafood and steak dishes in addition to pizzas and pastas, keeps its popularity without compromising its top-quality service and successful management. Paper Moon Istanbul is located on a spot, where popularity and prestige go hand-in-hand. The restaurant is doubtlessly a sector leader with its decoration, location, architectural design and lighting. The Interior Design Award given by Restaurants and Institutions-New York in 1997, and the Interior Lighting Award by Lumens-New York in 1998 confirm the success and quality of the restaurant.

Open 7 days of the week from noon until 1 a.m., Paper Moon is inviting guests, who wish to escape from the hectic environment of the daily life for at least a couple of hours, into its pleasurable atmosphere, created by an outstanding decoration and exquisite dishes.

Istanbul Doors Restaurants Group’s new restaurant Gina is racing with famous celebrity restaurant Paper moon. Located in Harvey Nicolson at Kanyon Shopping Mall , this new place is taking the attention of many celebrities. Well known bussinessman like Ali Agaoglu and many others prefer to have their dinners at Gina. Although there is no fascinating Bosphorus view, in the evenings all the front seats of this place are fully booked.

Dining inside a shopping mall has never been so popular until Gina arrived. Jet-set of Istanbul likes to try the selection of starters (go for the Caesar salad or rocket with avocados and parmesan cheese), pizzas, pastas, risottos, homemade pastas and meat/seafood mains. Recommended items include the freshly made pasta tagliatelle with wild mushrooms and cream; ravioli stuffed with cheese; penne arabiata; fettucine with eggplant and tomatoes topped with mozzarella cheese; pasta with seafood; and risotto with vegetables.

For mains or a non-carbohydrate selection, try the light sea bass or salmon fillet. Save room for dessert as Gina’s elegantly presented Italian cake of tiramisu with egg yolks and mascarpone is a killer! For a lighter dish, try a sample of the fresh fruit sorbets. Finish the meal with an espresso accompanied by Gina’s generous treat of biscotti and cookies

If you like excellent food and service in an elegant atmosphere then Gina is the right place for you.

The new venue provides people with a place to hang out before concerts and enjoy meals, or an area where they can just listen to good music during the evening.

Since Babylon opened its scarlet red doors in 1999, the Asmalimescit/Tünel enclave has become the preferred hangout of culturally inquisitive, music-loving Istanbullites and visitors alike. On September 27th 2007, Babylon proudly unveiled a new concrete playground in the neighborhood for those who wish to wine, dine, jump, jive or just pass time… Babylon Lounge

Open from dawn until dusk, the Lounge has a capacity for 50 diners and can accommodate 100 people standing. Featuring an extensive, mouthwatering menu with breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late-night munchies options, come one, come all to dine by two or ten! Refresh yourself with cocktails made from freshly squeezed juices, or wake yourself up with a drink off of our coffee menu, for a sure-fire kick in the pants!

Now, with the new season, the venue in Asmalımescit has transformed its menu to a more elegant and healthy one with more choices under the guidance of experienced chef Sara Tabrizi.

Asmalımescit’s newest venue, Babylon Lounge, is the spot for those who wish to while away the hours, take a break from a peripatetic work schedule, or enjoy a reunion with friends before a concert at Babylon!
