Café Istanbul is celebrating its 32nd birthday with the launch of a new private club/dining room.
The interior has been designed by Bernard Carroll (Panacea, San Carlo, Cicchetti) and the club / dining room is located downstairs from the restaurant, with a capacity of 50 covers. Boasting a feature bar, the room is available to hire (free when dining – minimum numbers apply) from noon until late for private dinner parties, corporate events, launches and special occasions. Dining is offered from the restaurant menus and live music and DJs can be accommodated.
Commenting on the expansion, owner of Café Istanbul, Sacit Onur said: “We decided to create the new room after searching for somewhere to hold our own staff party – we couldn’t find a private space in the city big enough for a party with a sit down dinner, yet still intimate and stylish. Hotel function rooms feel so bland, so we built our own and the feedback already has been incredible.”
Bar, lunch and a la carte menus include light dishes, fresh, chargrilled, spit roasted or slow baked specialities such as slow baked apricot lamb, sea bass fillet or the hugely popular mixed chargrill feasts to share.
