In the magnificent atmosphere of Çırağan Palace, the award-winning Tuğra, which blends the heritage of Ottoman and Turkish cuisine with modern touches, continues to bring its rich gastronomic tradition to iftar tables throughout Ramadan. The restaurant, which is included in the Michelin Guide Recommendation List, stands out for its excellent service, and has been awarded three hats in the "Outstanding Tables" category by Gault&Millau, invites its guests to a veritable feast with its extensive iftar menu.
