classics
Turkish breakfast classics, prepared with care and served from the first light of morning, with the Bosphorus in full view.
In the heart of the old city, beside the endless blue of the Bosphorus. One long experience, from morning to midnight.
Adem Özen · Founder
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.
How one idea, carried for years, brought the quiet of historic Süleymaniye and the Bosphorus view together on a single terrace above the old city.
