Abdülmecid Efendi Korusu, Kuşbakışı Cd. No:16, Kuzguncuk, Üsküdar

Telezzüz builds a contemporary tasting experience around plants in the calm setting of the Abdülmecid Efendi Grove. Local producers, seasonality and a low-waste approach shape both the plates and drink pairings, with the focus kept firmly on how ingredients are transformed.
