Vogue is one of the high end restaurants that combine gastronomical trials with a spectacular view. It is located on a hill in Beşiktaş, at walking distance to Beşiktaş Pier and the busy Beşiktaş streets, looking over the bosphorus. The balcony has a 270 degree view; spanning from the Bosphorus bridge, Asian Side to the old town (Sultanahmet area).
While the food is great, especially sushi and Zagat rated, what makes the greatest difference is the cocktails. Some of the signature cocktails (they're called molecular cocktails) include an apple martini with caviar, a vodka martini with local candy and the chief bartender is still searching for new combinations. So if you do not have time for a dinner or if it can be costly, you can just drop by to try these signature drinks at the balcony where you can enjoy one of the best views in Istanbul.
Also, Sunday brunch is strongly suggested. The variety of classical breakfast ingredients are more than satisfying and the brunch continues until 16:00, so you have plenty of time to enjoy some main courses and the desserts.
While making the reservation, I would suggest you book a corner table to enjoy the view at its best.
