In Armada’s early years, the sign over this establishment
read, "Ahırkapı Restaurant". Named after the historic
area of Ahırkapı and the street on which it is located, it has hosted
civil Republic Balls that give the residents of Istanbul a fresh
taste of the culture of the city, as well as Tango nights, dance
workshops, concerts, theaters, poetry recitations, meetings of civil
society organizations, celebrations, memorial services, and weddings
where hundreds of couples have taken their marriage vows.
The historic “Ahırkapı Restaurant” at which thousands
of guests from here and abroad have eaten, has adapted itself to
the variety of requests from users and now serves as the multi-purpose
"Armada SALON". Decorated in the style of Istanbul’s Beyoğlu
(Pera) quarter at the beginning of the 19th century with a mosaic
floor, console, buffet and embroidered curtains, Armada SALON was
renovated in 2009 with a ventilation system, sound and light system
and seating arrangements. Group meals, special occasions, winter
weddings and concerts are all held at Armada Salon.
Armada SALON has seating for 300 or capacity for
400 people in a cocktail setting.
