Nu Teras

Lonely Planet review

The extraordinary views over the Golden Horn should be appreciated over a pre-dinner drink at the bar here before you move onto a table and make your choice from the menu of huge and very tasty pizzas, a wide array of pasta dishes and mains such as roasted cod with tomatoes, capers, currents and pine nuts served with potato salad. We suggest opting for the pizzas and pastas, as mains can sometimes be disappointing.

Nu Teras is the summer project of the much-loved Lokanta, a long-standing showcase of casual chic and Mod Med food. On the roof of the Lokanta building, this terrace bar-restaurant isn't quite as glam as it was in its heyday, but that's good news because it means ordinary mortals can now score a table.
