Adem Özen, founder of Moss Lounge The Bosphorus Adem Özen · Founder
The name behind the place

A vision,
a Bosphorus,
a table.

Moss Lounge The Bosphorus is the realized form of a dream Adem Özen shaped over many years. Known to his guests as "Moss Adem", he set out with a single idea: to bring the historic quiet of Süleymaniye and the singular view of the Bosphorus together on one terrace.

Today you feel the founder's careful hand in every detail, from the first simit of the morning to the last service after midnight. Behind the guests who write that "the owner is such a warm person" sits a simple idea: he sees the place as a home, not a restaurant.

Moss does not only offer a view. It extends an invitation.
