Our Take
Bebek's Bosphorus Cocktail Bar
Lucca is a serious cocktail bar and restaurant in Bebek with views over the Bosphorus. The room is intentional — large windows facing the strait, polished wood, around 80 seats — and the cocktail programme is committed to classical discipline with Turkish twists.
The drinks are precise. The bartenders use Turkish ingredients heavily — sumac, pomegranate, mint, fresh Turkish citrus. The seasonal menu rotates regularly. The view at sunset is one of the best in Istanbul.
The crowd is mid-thirties Istanbul professionals and visiting tourists. Pair with Mikla for a complete Istanbul cocktail evening.
