The story
Sapa İstanbul, at Kucukbakkalkoy Mahallesi in Istanbul, is a modern Turkish restaurant in Ataşehir that earned a Michelin Recommended mention for 2026.
Traditional recipes are reworked with modern techniques and seasonal produce, so some dishes change as ingredients come and go. The guest-facing site credits a team of chefs rather than a single name, describing each plate as the result of their creativity, craftsmanship and teamwork. Wine Spectator gave the restaurant an Award of Excellence in 2025.
A stage hosts live music performances that bring a lively rhythm to the evening. Separate areas and personalized service are available for private events, corporate dinners and group bookings. Seating is limited, so reserving in advance is recommended.
