Terrace View and Atmosphere
When choosing a restaurant in Sirkeci, view matters. From Pino Gare's 7th-floor terrace, you see a panoramic sweep of the Bosphorus, Galata and the Sultanahmet skyline — a sight most street-level Sirkeci restaurants cannot offer. The evening service is especially striking: the Bosphorus Bridge lights reflect on the water while the Blue Mosque minarets trace the sky. The terrace layout accommodates both intimate couples and groups.

Sirkeci: History and Now
Sirkeci is one of Istanbul's most layered neighbourhoods. When the Orient Express completed its first Istanbul journey in 1883, it was Sirkeci Station that served as its terminus — the literal end of a transcontinental rail adventure. For over a century, Sirkeci stood at the meeting point of East and West. Ottoman-era caravanserais, early-Republic commercial buildings and modern hotels now stand side by side. Pino Gare sits on the rooftop of Orient Express Hotel, directly above that history. Guests dining here are not just eating with a view — they are eating over a century of arrivals and departures.
