Chef's Table

Located within the JW Marriott Hotel Istanbul, overlooking the stunning views of the Marmara Sea, Akira Back Istanbul holds a prestigious position in the culinary world as the first and only restaurant in Turkey by Michelin-starred Chef Akira Back. The restaurant, which has been featured in the Michelin Guide for three consecutive years, has also been awarded 1 Toque by Gault&Millau and holds 4 Pearls in the İncili Gastronomy Guide, making it one of Istanbul's leading gastronomic destinations.

One of the restaurant's most exclusive experiences, the Chef's Table, offers an evening focused on sharing and discovery, bringing together gastronomy enthusiasts around the same table. The special tasting menu, consisting of 13 courses and prepared exclusively for this experience by Executive Chef Fatih Alkan, invites guests on a unique culinary journey.

Each dish is served with an explanation from Chef Fatih Alkan, detailing its inspiration, the techniques used, and its story. This transforms the dinner from a simple tasting experience into an interactive exploration that creates a direct connection with the culinary world.

The Chef's Table, accommodating a maximum of 10 guests at a communal table, brings together guests with similar interests, fostering intimate conversations and new connections centered around gastronomy. The experience begins with the unique colors of the sunset over the Sea of Marmara and continues throughout the evening, accompanied by live music and DJ performances.

The Chef's Table, offered with limited seating, offers a unique experience that brings together the kitchen of an award-winning restaurant, the chef's narration, a social gastronomy approach, and one of Istanbul's most stunning sea views, all at the same table.
