Why go

For a surprising dinner in the middle of Istiklal, hidden from street level and defined by both its panorama and multicultural meze repertoire.

On the second floor of Hidivyal Palas, Eleos turns the rush of Istiklal into a blue-and-white meyhane of Aegean herbs, Greek and Armenian meze and a long seafood-led evening.

Order this

Build a selection from Aegean greens, seafood meze and Armenian-style starters, then move to one hot plate such as the day's fish or grilled octopus.

Our short order keeps the table focused on what this kitchen does best.

Best time

Open daily 14:30-23:30. Reserve the panoramic window side for sunset; the entrance is inside Hidivyal Palas, on the second floor.
