Opened by the Istanbul Doors group in the autumn of 2004 in Kanlıca, and the winner of many international awards since, A’jia serves its patrons from inside the Ahmet Rasim Paşa Yalı. A’jia is a 16 room boutique hotel and restaurant designed by Reşit Soley. The restaurant serves Italian cuisine, selecting dishes that cannot typically be found in Istanbul’s other Italian restaurants. When the weather is warm you can sit by the waterside and enjoy Kanlıca.
