OUR PHILOSOPHY: A SUSTAINABLE TASTE OF TURKIYE
At Octo Istanbul, located in the heart of Karaköy, we believe that gastronomy is more than food — it's a story, a memory, and a deep connection to the land and its people. Our philosophy is rooted in honoring Türkiye's rich culinary heritage while embracing mindful, modern innovation.
Each dish is crafted with care using seasonal, locally sourced, and responsibly grown ingredients, in close collaboration with women-led cooperatives and small-scale producers across the country. This approach ensures authenticity, strengthens local economies, and keeps sustainability at the core of everything we do.
More than just a restaurant in Karaköy, Octo offers a sensory dining experience where traditional Turkish flavors meet contemporary creativity, and sustainability becomes part of modern luxury.
