Tiara Buyukada

This perfectly situated restaurant called to me from the street, as the music was so mellow and provided the perfect accompaniment to the view and general ambience created by the charming owners. I enjoyed a glass of excellent house white wine, walked for an hour looking at the wonderful old houses that line the road, and returned for lunch. I had the recommended vine leaf wrapped rice and cherries, and a tomatoe and walnut dish, both of which were divine. Sea bass en papillote followed with more of the house white. This place is magic and I would make the journey again just to enjoy lunch again, in company next time

We were so dissappointed by the receptionist lady whose name is Meryem Gündüz. We were just 5 minutes late for the breakfast on Sunday the breakfast ends so early for Sundays btw. When we asked the floor of breakfast She just said breakfast is already finished. When we say it is just 5 minutes we re late maybe we have chance they still serve it, she even didnt care she said go ahead to check no info from her or any kindness to call the restaurant, When we went to restaurant people were still eating and they were still serving . When we said can we have breakfast the waitor response was also so rude even still they were serving the answer was it is already 10:35 it is closed and said that we can serve you here Alacart at the same place with the same things there that already people eating. The hotelonly focus on the money they wana charge you more as more as possible. NEVER ADVICE THAT PLACE TO ANYONE not to be regretful in your holiday..

We had a leisurely breakfast at this hotel/restaurant on a day trip to the lovely island of Büyükada in the Sea of Marmara, a pleasant one-hour ferry ride from Istanbul. The meal was delicious, the service was friendly and professional, and the view out to sea was spectacular. Especially good was the emininem, a mix of tomatoes, mild red peppers and scrambled eggs - a typical Turkish dish. Don’t miss this place!

I have to long story with this hotel, so before you decide to book for sure read my review (will explain every detail) We all know that booking is not working in Turkey , so I always look for hotels on google map (call and reserve, works most of the time) So found a hotel, checked pictures , liked it and told my Turkish speaking friend to call, Made reservation, transferred 50% of money and was looking for to spend my holiday with my guests(parents) there. But fortunately my friend arrived before me and told that there was no Pool , the picture all of us see on google map , is uploaded by customer and its just a view , So okay , I called them , explained situation that i wanted hotel with pool , and wanted chargeback , because of fake information on their page. I was calling almost 1 week that i wanted refund , so they said it was against their policy , and offered just to add money and stay 2 nights, My guests arrived and i had no option so okay i agreed Spoke with manager , and she said that every bad review was fake about them and their hotel an cafe was the best on the island and we would see it with our family eyes , and we just gave them chance and thought that the reviews were too much. First of all No !! noooo 1. After ride with ferry, went upstairs on their cafe , ordered 4 meals : burger, fish, kofta and salad , 4 different meals and all of them were tasteless and overpriced. Left almost 100$ there and it did not worth it at all . 2. Breakfast- they have 1 plate - 1 boiled egg, 2 slices of cheese , 1 tooth-spoon jams , something like sausage with tomato ( who eats tomato sauce chili in the morning) and tea . They did not have coffee , but if you order it for 50 liras , you will get it, and they have written ,while booking that Breakfast is included, but no ! 3. In the evening,on 11th o’clock, the terrace closes, and there is no space in whole hotel , where our family could sit , maybe balcony or terrace or something just to breathe . 4. The room is extra small, needs renovation totally, beds are too small , me and husband had one blanket and it did not covered even legs , conditioner remote is on the wall , but it does not work properly, so if you will be cold while sleeping, you have to wake up , go to reception and ask them to regulate temperature. The manager even advised us the worst beach on the island 😀 So I totally wont advice to choose this hotel .

We were on a day trip to Buyukada from Istanbul and arrived in time to look for lunch. I had not been on the island since 1965 and wondered up the hill from the ferry dock. We walked past Tiara and heard live saxophone so we stopped. The proprietor met us with a smile and a great table with view. We had beers and a delicious light lunch of an eggplant yoghurt salad and stuffed grape leaves followed by a roast chicken and vegetables. All in all a very delightful stop with great people running the show. Enjoy

It is the best quality restaurant with the best view and menu in Büyükada. Since we live on the island, we know almost all the restaurants. But we sincerely give the highest score to Tiara without any hesitation. There is not a single dish on the menu that does not look like Paris bistros, created by the warm interest of the restaurant owner and personally created. With jazz and live music accompanying the unique sea view as the sun goes down, every moment we spend in Tiara is among our most precious memories. Besides, I can't think of a more beautiful, private and romantic place to enter the New Year.

We 6 older Americans just ate at the Tiara Bistro Cafe and it was fabulous! We ate their granola breakfast, soup and hamburger. Great food, ambience and music. Clean bathrooms too Oh, and great rooftop view of everything

Worst hotel, I booked a standard room, they have me in tiny room in the back of the hotel. When I negotiated with the manager telling her the room is so tiny without any ventilation I can’t breathe she literally said “if you can’t breathe pay for a bigger room” she kept on saying that she travelled around the world and that she has seen rooms smaller than this and if I don’t like it’s either I pay for a bigger to room or live with it. I decided to live with it be because I won’t pay another penny in such an awful efull experience. I had to spend the entire day out and only use my room only to sleep at the end of the day, and found that the AC control isn’t working and the wifi is down! I spoke to the reception with their lack English and customer service they hang up on my face and stopped picking up my call! And on top of all that I couldn’t get a minute of sleep because it was either too hot or too cold in the room and non stop music all night long!
