Our Story

In 2022, the founder of the brand, Pınar Erdoğan, established The Red Balloon brand in Yeniköy, Istanbul, envisioning a place where our guests would feel at home, hidden within a secret garden.

The most prominent influences in our so-called “new kitchen” come from the Mediterranean and Aegean regions. Our philosophy is to bring the most seasonal, freshest, and local ingredients to our guests.

Whether under the trees in what feels like a seaside village villa, or in our tastefully furnished salons, we are ready to offer a different gastronomic experience with our “casual fine dining” principles and sincere service.

You are invited to The Red Balloon to meet on beautiful days ahead.
