Set Balık is a unique Fish restaurant concept on Bosphorus. Although it is situated in the vicinity of similarly chique and more posh fish restaurants (such as Pescatore, Urcan, Therapia etc...) Set Balık sets itself apart by its delicious and perfectly prepared set menu. What happens is the waiters ask you what kind of cold mezes, warm mezes, and fish... More

I've had dinner at Set Balik on two occasions, but the experiences differed a lot. The first time I was together with some of my Turkish colleagues. The food and the service were great and my overall feeling was that I had probably discovered the best place in Istanbul that serves fish mezze and dishes. The second time, we were... More

As opposed to the many traditional Turkish seafood meze restaurants, this restaurant is somewhat special in the sense that they offer seafood mezes created from worldwide recipes. I guess there is no need to mention that the quality of food and service is amazing and they have really original options, but then again if you want truly Turkish Meze this... More

If you want to eat special kind of sea food with reasonable price; you've come to the right place! There are many kind of mezes(Like Tapas) to taste and all are delicious. Even the deserts are fascinating. It's crowded and noisy 7 days but food is great.

Our dinner... More

Set is a safe choice among literally hundreds of fish restaurants set along the Bosphorus. The decor of the restaurant is nothing special (there is a screened outdoor section overlooking the Bosphorus) but this is more than compensated by the food, the service and the reasonable prices. The restaurant has a reputation for being fair and honest. The staff speak... More

We eat here occasionally. The seafood varieties are "must try" for tourists. They have some Turkish cuisine interpretation seafood specialties which you can't find anywhere else.
