Such a wonderful experience! The food was amazing, but the service was even better. Our waiter(Esar) was incredibly kind, attentive, and professional, he made us feel like princesses throughout the entire evening. We will definitely be back. Highly recommended!

Picnic with Me 2 months ago on Google

After a long flight from LAX, I arrived in Istanbul and was looking for a relaxing late dinner. The front desk at my hotel recommended Güney Restaurant, and I’m so glad they did. It was less than a 10-minute walk from my hotel in the Galata area, and the walk itself was part of the experience. Although there was a bit of an uphill climb, it wasn’t bad at all, and arriving with the beautiful Galata Tower standing right in front of the restaurant made it well worth it. While the interior is beautiful, warm, and inviting, I chose to sit outside facing the street. One of my favorite things about traveling is simply watching the world go by, and this was the perfect place to do just that. I ordered the grilled sea bass, grape leaves, fresh bread, and a delicious tomato-based spread that paired perfectly with the meal. Since it was my first evening after a long flight, I skipped the wine and opted for sparkling water instead. I’ve found that sparkling water helps me adjust when traveling and enjoying rich local cuisine. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and surprisingly affordable compared to prices back home in California. My entire meal, including tip, was about $36 USD. What impressed me most was the hospitality. A special thank you to Nurullah, who was incredibly kind and welcoming. It wasn’t just my server who checked on me throughout the eveningthe other staff members also stopped by to ask how I was enjoying the food and whether I needed anything. As a solo traveler, those thoughtful touches made me feel genuinely welcome. The service was attentive without being intrusive. Empty dishes were cleared almost immediately, my table was always kept tidy, and the staff worked together seamlessly to ensure guests were well taken care of. I also asked for a few photos, and the team happily helped one another to make sure I got some great shots. It’s those small acts of kindness that turn a good meal into a memorable experience. For fellow travelers visiting Turkey, remember that tipping is appreciated. One thing I’ve learned from my travels is to embrace the local culture, be kind, and show respect. You’ll often receive that same kindness in return. Thank you, Nurullah, and the entire team for such a wonderful first dinner in Istanbul. Sitting outside near Galata Tower, enjoying a delicious meal while watching the world go by, was the perfect way to begin my time in this beautiful city. I look forward to returning on my next visit.

The food is excelent and the prices are more than reasonable. The most important quality is the superior service. Not only is it fast but it is also very friendly making you feel welcome. I would especially like to mention two of the waiters who have served us many times, Seyit and Hasan. They always greeted us with the most friendly smiles and curtious attention.
