Our Story

A New Address in Nişantaşı,
Built Around Light and Stone

Forty opened as the restaurant and café of Forty Nişantaşı Hotel — a quiet, architectural room set just off the boutiques and tree-lined streets of Nişantaşı. Every surface, from the brushed brass to the pale limestone, was chosen to hold light rather than compete with it.

In the kitchen, a contemporary menu draws from Mediterranean technique and international produce — steaks, seafood, pasta and wood-fired pizza, plated with restraint. Nothing is rushed, nothing is loud; the room is built for guests who want to stay a little longer.

"Nişantaşı deserves a table this quiet." — The Forty Nişantaşı Welcome

Why Guests Choose Forty

Contemporary Dining,
Quietly Considered

Not a restaurant chasing trends — a boutique table built around premium ingredients, architectural calm, and hospitality that never feels rushed.

Premium Ingredients

Prime cuts, fresh seafood and seasonal produce sourced for quality first, prepared the same day they arrive.

Boutique Atmosphere

A small, architectural room of natural stone, brass and soft light — designed to feel calm rather than crowded.

Exceptional Hospitality

A trained team that anticipates rather than interrupts — attentive, warm, and never formal for its own sake.

Contemporary Cuisine

Steaks, seafood, pasta and wood-fired pizza, built on Mediterranean technique and plated with restraint.

Elegant Dining Experience

From the first pour to the last course — a table paced for conversation, not turnover.

Coffee & Cocktails

Poured With Intention,
Stirred With Precision

From the first espresso to the last cocktail — four rituals that define the Forty Nişantaşı table.

01
Espresso
Single-origin espresso, pulled to order and poured with the same care as every dish that leaves the kitchen.
02
Nişantaşı İkram
Traditional Turkish coffee, brewed slowly and served with Turkish delight — our nod to the neighbourhood.
03
Signature Cocktail
The Forty Sour — bourbon, fig, and citrus, shaken and poured tableside.
04
Digestif
A closing pour from our reserve list — aged rakı, amaro or a glass of late-harvest wine.
