ParkFora

Serving all tastes coming from the sea and fish to its guests against the amazing view of the Bosporus in Kurucesme on the European side of Istanbul where blue and green overlap, Park Fore is one of the first places to come to mind when someone thinks about enjoying fish against the view of the Bosporus. Dating back to 40 years ago, the restaurant keeps turning the words of "Bosporus" and "fish" into a taste, itself.
