The aquarium, located in the center of the restaurant, stands out as the most striking element defining the character of the place, while its carefully prepared menu complements this atmosphere. Bringing together gastronomy, design, and experience, Nemo is preparing to become one of Istanbul's new meeting points.

An Experience at the Heart of the Underwater World

The large-scale aquarium at the heart of Nemo stands out as the most striking element of the venue. Visible from various points in the restaurant, the aquarium is not merely a visual detail; it shapes the atmosphere of the place, is central to the guest experience, and is positioned as the most important element defining Nemo's character.

The serene movements of marine life, combined with the lighting design and architectural details inspired by the underwater world, create a unique atmosphere that sets the tempo of the restaurant. Taking on a different character during the day and evening, the venue offers its guests a different restaurant experience than they are used to in Istanbul.

A Menu Inspired by the Sea

Nemo's culinary philosophy complements the restaurant's story. The menu, centered around seafood, combines expertly crafted sushi selections, flavors inspired by contemporary Eurasian cuisine, and dishes bearing the elegant touches of European cuisine. From dishes designed for sharing to signature specialties, the selection offers a powerful gastronomic experience to accompany long dinner parties.

This approach, supported by bespoke cocktails, selected champagnes, and a robust wine cellar, stands out as one of the key elements that complement a stay at Nemo.

Every detail was designed by international teams.

Nemo's design process was shaped by contributions from teams that have undertaken significant projects in different parts of the world. Its interior architecture was designed by 1508 London, while the lighting concept was developed by Lighting Design Studio. The aquarium system at the heart of the restaurant was brought to life by ICM Corporation, known for its large-scale aquatic life projects.

SWOT Hospitality CEO Mouhamad Hadla says the following about Nemo Istanbul: “The strong feedback we received from our guests in Antalya led us to bring this concept to Istanbul. In a city like Istanbul, where competition in the food and beverage industry is very strong, we wanted to create a place that stands out not only with its menu but also with its design and atmosphere. We believe that the historical texture of Tersane Istanbul will harmonize well with Nemo's modern and underwater-inspired character.”

Nemo, preparing to open its doors at Tersane İstanbul, is poised to become one of Istanbul's newest destinations with its striking aquarium at its center and its unique gastronomic approach.
