With its bright colours, velvet furnishings and an eye-catching floor piece of a nude young Norma Jean Baker, 5.Kat boasts one of the city's most striking interiors. As its name implies (kat means floor), it occupies the fifth floor of a back-street building in Cihangir.

A giant neon angel shines at street level, and a rooftop terrace lit with red lanterns opens during the summer. The menu is a culinary jack-of-all-trades (Turkish, French, Italian, Oriental); everything is acceptable.There are occasional live events and regular singles nights.
