Arkestra
Tayfun Mumcu Studio’s design for Arkestra redefines luxury dining in the heart of Istanbul. Set within a prestigious villa, Arkestra’s interiors evoke a sense of grandeur, blending jewel-toned leathers, plush velvet wallcoverings, and rich wood paneling to create an immersive, opulent
atmosphere.
With iconic design elements like Andreu World and Louis Poulsen, reimagined to fit the space’s lavish yet modern aesthetic, every detail of the restaurant speaks to Mumcu’s visionary approach. Arkestra is not only a feast for the senses but a backdrop that enhances Chef Cenk Debensason’s French-inspired menu, interwoven with Japanese, Korean, and Italian influences.
Adjacent to this fine dining haven is Ritmo, the more playful and intimate sibling to Arkestra. Tucked behind velvet curtains, this dimly-lit bistro offers a cozy, 32-cover dining room adorned with mirrored ceilings, colorful custom carpets, and low lighting to set a relaxed yet refined mood.
Accessible through a private entrance, Ritmo specializes in small plates, curated cocktails, and a selection of local and international wines, making it an ideal spot for private events and celebrations. Together, Arkestra and Ritmo offer a duality of experiences — from opulent, formal dining to vibrant, intimate gatherings — all within the elegant design world crafted by Tayfun Mumcu Studio.
