Leb-i derya, Rooftop restaurant and bar in Asmalı Mescit, Istanbul, Turkey.

Leb-i Derya is a rooftop restaurant and bar in Asmalı Mescit with a large terrace overlooking the city skyline, historic buildings, and the Bosphorus. The space features open-air seating areas where guests can eat Turkish and international food.

The restaurant opened in the early 2000s and became part of Istanbul's growing food scene. It helped establish the trend of rooftop dining in the city.

The place draws artists, designers, and creative professionals who gather to eat Turkish and international food on the open terrace. You can feel the energy of Istanbul's artistic scene as people talk and enjoy the evening together.

The restaurant opens in the afternoon and stays open late into the night. It's best to make a reservation ahead of time, especially when weather is nice and the terrace is in high demand.

The name means 'Sea of the Sky' and captures the idea of lifting guests high above the city. The venue hosts occasional live music and performances that add to the evening.
