A Green Philosophy on Every Plate

Savor the flavor of conscious cuisine at Octo Istanbul, among the most innovative sustainable restaurants in Istanbul. Here, guests can embark on an earth-friendly journey featuring the soil’s natural bounty, from oils to Malgara green lentils from our garden, and firik bulgur, famous for its smoky aroma. Our simple yet rich dishes pay tribute to the resilience of Anatolian culinary heritage and celebrate women entrepreneurs and local producers committed to promoting organic values.

A First-Class Olive Oil

Through our Food from The Home concept, we proudly present a curated selection of olive oils that reflect Anatolia's rich soil, ancient trees, and sustainable values. It's more than a list of ingredients, as Octo Istanbul offers liquid expressions of heritage and craft, which makes it one of the most sustainable restaurants of the country.

Malkara Green Lentil

Grown in the fertile fields of Malkara, Tekirdağ, these green lentils bring earthy depth and wholesome character to our Garden Green Lentil Salad. Paired with fresh herbs and seasonal vegetables, this dish highlights the simplicity and nourishment of Anatolia's local harvest.

Firik Bulgur

Sourced from the fire-scorched fields of Gaziantep, firik bulgur adds a gently smoked aroma and rich texture to our lamb dishes. Served alongside our slow-cooked roasted lamb shoulder, it offers a grounded, flavorful complement rooted in Southeast Anatolian culinary heritage.

Hand-made Kuskus Erişte

Sourced and promoted by a women-led team of entrepreneurs in Tekirdağ, our kuskus and erişte are handmade using traditional methods passed down through generations. In our signature menu, a wealth of seasonal ingredients is served with a contemporary flair. Each bite carries the care of a local kitchen and the heart of Anatolia.
