Liman presents Istanbul’s rooted culinary heritage in a modern and elegant manner. Located at Galataport, this restaurant continues a story of flavors spanning from 1947 to the present day. The fact that Silvian Fontana, Chef Atatürk, served as head chef here between 1953 and 1968 marks an important turning point in the establishment of Western-style modern restaurant service traditions in Turkey. Liman, carrying forward the legacy of master craftsmen, presents this historical value with a contemporary approach.
The menu showcases distinguished examples of Turkish cuisine. Masterpieces such as pastirma hummus, artichoke salad, Syriac-style içli köfte, and steak with Cafe de Paris sauce reflect meticulous preparation and balanced flavors. Particularly the appetizers and intermediate hot dishes form the foundation of the dining experience. From the dessert selections, kazandibi and Liman-style profiterole successfully complete the menu.
The space’s design integrates seamlessly with the views and atmosphere of Galataport through its balconied terrace areas. Professional staff make every effort to make special occasions and your guests unforgettable. Liman stands out as a recommended destination for those who wish to experience traditional Turkish cuisine in a refined setting.
