Isola Cocktail Bar Istanbul
A stylish escape in Istanbul
Bomonti is a neighborhood whose popularity has increased recently with its easy access from anywhere and variety of options, like Bomontiada.
Isola Bomonti is a nice spot in this neighborhood known for its delicious cocktails and stylish ambiance. It never disappoints me if I want to go for a night out with friends after work or for an early dinner on a Sunday after visiting Ferikoy Antique Bazaar.
The beautiful colors of burgundy, sandy tones, and gold, as well as the Italian-inspired photos and mirrors on the walls, create a sophisticated and elegant ambiance. Sitting at the bar or at one of the chic tables always allows you to enjoy this place.
Isola, which means "island" in Italian, offers a relaxing escape from the city, as the name suggests. Because the menu consists primarily of Italian dishes, I am even more in love with this place. Burrata as a starter and carbonara as the main dish fill me with happiness. As the writer Matt Haig says, "No physical appearance is worth not eating pasta for". Of course, the real highlight at Isola Bomonti lies in their cocktails. Although the prices are slightly higher, the overall experience justifies it. Whether for daytime dining or nighttime pleasure, Isola Bomonti promises a Mediterranean-inspired moment that's sure to please.
Overall, Isola Bomonti is a cozy Italian restaurant and cocktail bar that offers a delightful escape from the city's hustle. Please also check my other article - Batard, for alternative plans in the neighborhood.
