Our Story

A Bridge to Taste

Istanbul Restaurant brings the cooking of Istanbul and the old traditions of Anatolian cuisine to the middle of Pattaya.

The kitchen is run by Executive Chef Hasan Çalışkan, who has spent his career cooking Turkish food. His menu joins two traditions that rarely meet: the Anatolian kitchen he grew up with and the fresh produce of Thailand.

Walk in and the first thing you notice is the smell of the grill. Every dish carries the flavours of Istanbul, cooked with the care of a chef who has spent decades on this food, alongside ingredients from local Thai markets.

The Experience

Our Ambiance

The dining room reflects the same mix of cultures as the menu. Mosaic patterns recall Istanbul's grand bazaars. Thai silk and bamboo soften the room. The name, A Bridge to Taste, is meant literally.

The recipes are centuries old and the kitchen follows them faithfully, from the historic streets of Istanbul to the tropical coast of Pattaya.
