Fine dining - Edit
It had an average price for fine dining. All the food was delicious. The Shakespeare theme was lovely.

extraordinary: amazing experience! - Edit
We had the 7-course tasting menu with the wine pairing. The food was absolutely amazing, and the storytelling around the seven deadly sins was really entertaining. The wines paired with each course were spot on.
Read moreThe ambience was lovely, and the waiters were very friendly. They even explained everything to us in English since I don’t speak Turkish.
Of course, it’s quite pricey, but it’s definitely worth the experience.

✨ A Memorable Birthday Dinner with a Seasonal Menu ✨ - Edit
We visited Telezzuz in April 2025, after I discovered it on Instagram — especially when I saw that Elton John had dined there as well. That definitely caught my attention.
Read moreOne thing that really impressed me was that the restaurant offers a different menu for each season. Guests can either choose the full daily tasting menu or select dishes individually, which makes the experience very flexible and personal. If you check their website, you can see the current menu in detail.
We chose this place to celebrate my birthday on April 15th, and I couldn’t have been happier with our choice. The restaurant itself is beautiful, the atmosphere is elegant yet welcoming, and the food was absolutely delicious. Every dish was prepared with great care and presented with incredible elegance and attention to detail.
The quality of the ingredients, the flavors, and the overall experience were outstanding. On top of that, the staff were very professional, kind, and attentive, which made the evening even more enjoyable.
Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I was truly satisfied. I would definitely recommend this place for a special occasion or a memorable dining experience.
Pros: Seasonal menu, everything vegan , Flexible ordering, High quality & presentation
Cons: Pricey

Stupefacente - Edit
Telezzuz non è soltanto il ristorante vegano migliore di Istanbul, ma il migliore tra tutti quelli in cui abbia mangiato in Italia e nelle varie città Europee finora visitate.
Read moreL' ambiente è estremamente curato ed accogliente. La cucina incredibile, capace di esaltare nel miglior modo i sapori degli ingredienti presenti nel piatto. Il menù segue le stagioni ed offre diverse opzioni tra antipasti freddi, caldi, piatti principali e dessert oltre alla possibilità di scegliere tra degustazione o a la carte.
Il servizio impeccabile! Ci ha accompagnato in un viaggio di sapori e coccole con garbo e gentilezza. Menzione speciale per Dilara.
Il conto è in linea con l' esperienza e trattandosi di una vera e propria esperienza non potete perdere l' occasione di una cena da Telezzuz se visitate Istanbul.

Beautiful restaurant and presentation - Edit
The restaurant is beautifully designed and the food presentation was stunning. Some of the courses were outstanding and some were mediocre. Loved the desserts too!

Real treat - Edit
We've had the 5 course tasting menu with wine pairing. All dishes come with a story behind them. Amazing multi tonal taste! Wonderful experience, definitely not an everyday treat for us.

Vegan Fine dining at a cost - Edit
We came here expecting to have a fine dining experience. As vegans, it's a rare occurrence.
Read moreWell, we did absolutely get that... but it came at a much higher price than we had expected.
360$ USD for 2 people for the 5 courses menu with wine pairing is a hefty sum anywhere in the world. It felt pretty surreal in Turkey.
That said, the food and the experience were really on point.
So, if you don't mind a meal costing as much as a week of hotel rooms in old town, it's a refined option for sure.
Pros: Vegan Fine Dining
Cons: Jesus it's expensive 😫

Amazing place, amazing food, amazing staff.
Read moreOf course it's expensive (especially if you know the regular prices for this kind of restaurant, this one is more expensive than usual), but it's worth it.

Vegan food for non-vegan - Edit
We went there for a special occasion and tried two starters with two main course and a dessert to share. I can’t say anything for the service and place. It was very pleasant and place was gorgeous but can’t say the same thing for foods. I think chef tries to create umami tastes for food but it didn’t end up fulfilling at least for us. The only taste which i remember after the night is desert (which was made with beer malt). I am not a food expert but it didn’t satisfy me especially for this price. Overall, this restaurant felt like a expensive introduction for non vegan people.

Fast but good - Edit
We had the 8 course tasting menu. Most dishes were very tasty. Some were creative. The two desserts were delicious but dessert portions were too much.
Read moreService was formal yet friendly. However it was too fast. I was still chewing my last bite while my plate was taken. Whats the rush? The entire experience lasted just a little under two hours which is fast for this kind of fine dinning. There was also very little lighting. It creates a nice romantic atmosphere but at a tasting I really want to see what I am eating. We took the photos with some extra lighting.
It was also quite expensive for approximately about 100 euros per person.
While entering the premises there is an annoying security check. You have to provide id and phone number for each guest. No help in finding a taksi while leaving.
However the atmosphere was great.
Pros: Fully vegan fine dinning, Some dishes were very good, Very nice atmosphere
Cons: Too fast service, Too little lighting, Too expensive
