This was the best restaurant I have ever been in my life. I have been many restaurants that have the Michelin star including in USA (New York City, LA) and many countries in Europe but never experienced something similar. The best combination of taste and concept … The service was exceptional and the staff was very professional. Thank you chef Adam for your service and letting us to experience this unique opportunity 🙏

While vacationing in Istanbul, I had the pleasure of dining at a quaint restaurant tucked away from the city's hustle and bustle. The standout dish for me was undoubtedly the sea bass. It tasted as if it had been caught just moments before it reached my plate—impeccably fresh and seasoned to perfection. The delicate flavors of the fish were both rich and subtle, transporting me to the very waters from which it hailed. This dining experience not only satisfied my palate but also encapsulated the essence of Istanbul's culinary magic. Highly recommended!

First, you cannot stay in the main room because everyone is smoking inside. Secondly it is so overpriced. We took a fish for two and they announced 3kg of fish on the bill. For a total of 230 euros for only two persons. This restaurant doesn’t deserve to be on the Michelin guide.

The seafood was exceptionally delicious. The restaurant offered a non-smoking section, ensuring a pleasant environment. The service was outstanding, and we were delighted to receive two complimentary desserts. Overall, it was a truly wonderful dining experience.

I came across Calipso whilst in Istanbul with my wife. We were looking for something different to eat and Calipso did not disappoint! Right from the start, the service was second to none, politeness, patience and just so welcoming! Mr Uĝur and his staff made me and my wife feel so comfortable! They assisted us in picking our main meal (moon fish), which was well cooked and so tender. They recommended a few starters/ appetisers and the salad, all of which was scrumptious and fresh! The deserts were absolutely delicious 😋!!! We'd definitely come back for more!

After seeing a few pictures while looking for a place to have dinner, my husband and I stopped by and ended up pretty much blown away by everything. The service, first and foremost, was incredible. I could not begin to tell you which fork was the right one to use but it didn't matter because I didn't feel out of place either way 😆 Mr. Uğur and Mr. Adem were absolutely lovely. Mr. Uğur (an absolute gem) recommended the moonfish (iirc) and a salad, and even made sure we didn't order too much (I was a bit overly enthusiastic and wanted to get way more than we needed 🤭). The appetizers, main dish and desserts... All did wonderful things to my mouth. 10, 10, 10... Tens across the board! Mr. Adem checked on us to know how everything went and it was just really nice to be that well looked after ☺️

Calipso has an amazing open roof terrace garden where you enjoy your evening in a peaceful, friendly ambiance. Next to traditional Turkish sea food starters , try have some special refined home specials . Fine , natural ingredients, excellent service and ambiance. Deserve all appreciations.

Nice fish restaurant that has a Bib Gourmand. Had couple of starters which were all nice. In general the prices are quite high from my point of view. As it has a Bin Gourmand I was expecting lower prices and I as well had similar food for lower prices in Istanbul. However food is great and service is really good. Even got a dessert and tea on the house at the end. Worth a visit if you don’t worry about spending some money.
