Michelin awarded stars to five restaurants in Istanbul, the first time the guide has recognized culinary excellence in the Turkish metropolis.

TURK Fatih Tutak, in the Bomonti neighborhood on the European side of the city, was awarded two stars. Four other restaurants in the city were awarded a star each. No restaurants won three, the highest accolade for the guide, whose inspectors have been awarding their much-coveted stars since 1926.
