Situated in one of the most captivating locations overlooking the historical peninsula and the Bosphorus, The Peninsula Hotels Istanbul unveiled its innovative Turkish-Asian cuisine menu during a special event at GALLADA and Topside Bar, both nestled on the terrace of the historic passenger terminal building. Many famous and distinguished guests, including the renowned actor Dilan Deniz, participated in the event.
Jonathan Crook, General Manager of The Peninsula Istanbul, expressed his profound pleasure in participating in the GALLADA opening. He stated, “I am delighted to be here for the opening of GALLADA. This evening, as we celebrate the official launch of GALLADA in Istanbul, we are honored by the presence of Mr. Clement Kwok, Chairman of The Hong Kong and Shanghai Hotels, Limited (HSH). We are also exceptionally fortunate to have James Overbaugh, our VP of Food and Beverage Operations at HSH, who played a pivotal role in shaping this exceptional partnership with Fatih Tutak. GALLADA embodies a journey. There are numerous fascinating stories about how Fatih discovered this incredible concept, what we refer to as Silk Road cuisine, narrating the culinary voyage between Istanbul and China. Witnessing how this concept has now materialized and swiftly evolved into one of Istanbul’s premier dining establishments, offering a unique gastronomic experience, is truly exhilarating. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to Fatih and this extraordinary team.”
