Nice view indeed! Is it still Leb-di Derya? (can never remember how to spell that...)

It is Lebiderya. I think one of the best views in the city (pricey drinks, but worth it for the view!).

i went there for a mojito after having been disappointed by the mojitos at several other bars around the city. it was very pricey at 24ytl - about 6 lira more than what i'd been paying - but 1,000 times better. and i only needed the one drink!
of course, the views are fantastic - but the food is also really good. def not a place where i mind spending a little extra money.

I also love the atmosphere in there, but can not recommend the Mojito and other cocktails. Tried some last week and they were all horrible.... Wine and beer no problem

Had to laugh at the extremely small glass they gave me to put my bottle of beer in. The bottle held three more times the amount than the glass.
I was there during Liverpool v Chelsea game, it was a hard choice between watching the game in reception or enjoying the view.

What kind of glass was that - a Schnapsglass? I personally find the bottels too small....

Is Leb-i Derya Richmond bar and the Leb-i Derya bar/restaurant the same thing? Just different ways to enter same place? Befuddled...

Two places. The new one is on top of the Richmond Hotel and the old one is down the street just after the Richmond Hotel.

I think Vogue Restaurant which is in BJK Plaza on 14th floor in Besiktas can beat all them up With unbeatable views of the bridge.
