Guided by the motto “Seasonal fish, served in its purest form,” Park Fora prioritizes freshness, naturalness, and quality. Our chefs, who specialize in seafood cuisine, work alongside a long-standing, experienced service team to ensure a flawless and warm dining experience for every guest.
During the summer season, our spacious terrace with sweeping Bosphorus views becomes a favorite spot for al fresco dining. As the sun sets, our elegant bar area hosts the most delightful hours of the day with signature cocktails and a curated selection of drinks.
Blending the essence of classic Turkish seafood culture with contemporary touches, Park Fora proudly presents a menu that includes international delicacies such as King Crab, oysters, lobster, and our chef’s special paella. In Istanbul, when the question is “Where to find the best oysters, the best lobster, or the freshest seafood?”—the answer lies in Park Fora.
🐟 Seasonal Fish, Served at Its Peak
At the heart of our kitchen is a dedication to seasonal and responsibly sourced fish. In addition to prized seasonal offerings such as turbot, we feature staples like red mullet, sea bass, and sole throughout the year—maintaining consistent quality across all four seasons. Sardines, gilt-head bream, bluefish from the Bosphorus, and bonito also take their place on the menu, always at their freshest and most flavorful.
With a philosophy that says “There is no fish without season,” we bring the bounty of the sea to the table in harmony with nature and taste.
The cold starters include timeless favorites such as pickled bonito (torik), cured bonito (lakerda), shrimp salad, octopus salad, stuffed mussels, artichokes, fish roe, and samphire. Warm starters range from crispy calamari and shrimp casserole to grilled jumbo shrimp, fried mussels, and grilled octopus.
✅ Excellence in Hygiene and Food Safety
Park Fora stands out with its uncompromising standards in hygiene and food safety. Our kitchen team works under the supervision of a professional food engineer, preparing all dishes in accordance with the highest hygiene protocols. In addition, our in-house occupational safety specialist meticulously oversees every operational detail to ensure the ongoing well-being of our team and guests.
A Sweet Signature: House-Made Ice Cream for a Refreshing Finale
Park Fora makes a lasting impression with its dessert menu as well. Signature sweets like chocolate soufflé, baked halva, and seasonal fruit desserts such as pumpkin, quince, and fig are elevated with our house-made ice cream—a Park Fora specialty. Especially during the summer months, our refreshing, artisanal ice cream adds the perfect finishing touch to our semolina dessert and other classics.
At Park Fora, dessert is not just the end of a meal—it’s an elegant finale.
