Located in the heart of Istanbul’s Historic Peninsula, Ocak invites you to discover the soul of Anatolian cuisine reinterpreted with contemporary finesse. Under the visionary leadership of Chef Ömer Bozyap, our menu celebrates the seasons — where the freshest fruits and vegetables, sourced from local artisans, are transformed into unforgettable culinary creations with elegant touches.

Our meticulously curated wine cellar, featuring products exclusively from Turkish boutique vineyards, and our extensive rakı selection, offer perfect pairings that honor and elevate each dish.

At Ocak, traditional Turkish flavors are reborn with creativity and finesse; every bite creates a symphony of taste that lingers in your memory.

Since 2023, our restaurant has been featured in the prestigious Michelin Guide, and in 2024, we were honored among the best chef-led restaurants in the Gault&Millau awards. True to its name, Ocak Restaurant celebrates the essence of open-flame cooking, serving the beloved Turkish and Anatolian dishes in their purest, most soulful form.

We welcome you to an exquisite dinner experience every Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday between 6:30 PM and 00:00 AM. Reservations can be made easily through our website: ocak.ist

Important Guest Information:

Due to the use of our house-made butter, milk, and dairy products in most of our dishes, and to avoid the risk of cross-contamination, we regret that we are unable to accommodate gluten-free or vegan dietary requests.

Additionally, we are unable to host guests under the age of 8. The dress code for our restaurant is "smart casual."
