Located in Kuruçeşme, Istanbul, where blue meets green, Park Fora Fish and Seafood Restaurant offers an unforgettable gastronomic experience with 40 years of expertise. Bringing together the best of the sea and fish flavors with a view of the Bosphorus, Park Fora emphasizes the importance of consuming fresh fish in season.

Seasonal fish consumption forms the core of Park Fora's philosophy. With knowledge of which fish to eat each month, the restaurant offers healthy and flavorful options. Fish prepared with grilling, frying, steaming, salt, milk, and oven-baked methods cater to the tastes of its guests.

On Park Fora's menu, you will find classic and innovative cold appetizers, such as Torik Lakerda, Tarama, and Octopus Salad, as well as modern flavors like Marinated Sea Bass and Fora Crayfish. For hot appetizers, options like Fried Calamari, Grilled Baby Calamari, Grilled Jumbo Shrimp, Baked Octopus, and Grilled Octopus stand out. As a pioneer in Turkey, Park Fora offers "Fine de Claire" oysters from France in its live oyster tanks. The lobsters in Park Fora’s tanks come from Maine in the U.S. and Nova Scotia in Canada, while local lobsters and oysters from the Gulf of Saros are also offered seasonally. King crab is also available live in the tank during its season and always present on the menu.

Lastly, the restaurant has expanded its offerings by adding a sushi bar, proudly bringing Far Eastern flavors to its guests.

For dessert lovers, there are classic and new tastes, including chocolate soufflé and semolina dessert with ice cream. Additionally, our chef’s homemade ice cream, pumpkin, quince, and fig desserts in season are served to delight.
