The story
Frankie, at Galataport in Beyoğlu, Istanbul (Meclis-i Mebusan Caddesi, O Blok Kat 2), is a MediterrAsian kitchen that pairs Mediterranean produce with Asian spices and cooking techniques. Gault&Millau scored it 13 in 2026.
The menu divides into small sharing plates, which can be combined in many ways, and big sharing plates designed for two. The big plates work as the centrepiece of the table. Seasonal Mediterranean ingredients meet Asian spices, and the kitchen applies modern techniques to both.
The bar reinterprets classic cocktails and adds signature recipes with unusual aromas. Gault&Millau gave Frankie Bar a 12 in 2026. Music is part of the room, and the Lounge area looks out over the Bosphorus.
