Beyrouth is located in the historic Akaretler Row Houses where Al Jamal used to be.

The owner of Beyrouth, Izzet Çapa, whose name is well known amid Istanbul’s nightlife, also created Al Jamal. Just like Al Jamal, the food is delicious and the show is great.

The menu is quite extensive with hot and cold meze, pide, lahmacun, risottos and pizzas to burgers and salads. You can select from the menu based on your horoscope or try the flavours that could be adapted to the evening, like champagne, vodka and whiskey flavoured ones.

As the day moves into night the venue transforms into the place to see and be seen. People appear as if they just left the ball or a wedding as they try all the items on the cocktail menu one at a time. The music moves from Arabic to Turkish and the signature belly dancer shows of Capa venue begins.

The belly dancer shows, which begin after 23.00, get those who claim not to dance to Turkish pop on their feet to get the unmistakeable Capamarka effect.

Sunset Istanbul is located on the hills of Ulus and has one of the greatest views of Istanbul, overlooking the Bosphorus.

The food is excellent and a mixture of international cuisine and Turkish dishes. It also has an excellent Sushi Bar attended by Japanese chefs trained in their native homeland. If not ordering from the sushi or sashimi menu, other appetizers include foie gras on mandarin brioche, octopus carpaccio or salmon tartar. Lighter starters include wild mushroom risotto or mixed greens with herbs grown in the on-site garden. Main course is a medley of land and sea with veal chops and grilled T-bone vying with grilled monkfish or lobster linguine. A traditional Turkish menu is also on hand for more-authentic menu options like kebabs or lamb shank and a top international wine list.

Sunset Istanbul offers an enormous outdoor dining roof draped in white triangular canopies that perfectly frame the city skyline and nearby waterfront. Inside, a more sedate setting of floor-to-ceiling glass windows surrounds a lofty dining room with pendant lighting and neutral color scheme or creams and whites. Off the main terrace is a hip bar and large lounge area with candlelit tabletops and barstool seating that captures some of the best upscale singles crowds in the city for weekend live music and midnight mingling.

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.

The owner of Al Jamal, Izzet Çapa, whose name is well known amid Istanbul’s nightlife, also created Cahide. Just like Cahide, the food is delicious and the show is great.

There is a choice between the Turkish raki and international fine wine. There are regional fresh meze, which include yoghurt, muhammara, manti, eggplant salad, and hummus.

Feel like a sultan in the harem like interior design and fascinating mixture of “western” and “oriental” music. Warm appetizers, including falafel, lahmacun (Turkish pizza with minced meat), and çig börek are served as a live singer makes it through the tables, followed by a live Beautiful, breathtaking belly dance performance.

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.
