A Year-End Company Dinner in Istanbul: Bring Your Team Together at Olden 1772
A year-end company dinner gives colleagues time to step away from their daily schedules and share a meal. Whether the occasion celebrates a completed project, welcomes new team members or simply marks another year of working together, the setting helps shape the evening.
If you are looking for a historic restaurant for a company dinner in Istanbul, consider Olden 1772 in Sirkeci. Located within Muhsinzade Han, the restaurant accepts corporate dining enquiries through its event request form, making it a place to explore when planning your team gathering.
How to plan a year-end company dinner
Start with your guest count and the purpose of the event. A dinner for a small department may need a different arrangement from a gathering involving several teams. Check your colleagues’ availability, allow time for travel and agree on a budget before settling on the details.
Before contacting the restaurant, prepare:
- Your preferred date and an alternative.
- The number of guests and your planned dining time.
- A budget per person covering food and drinks.
- Any allergies or dietary preferences.
- Requests for seating arrangements, a short speech or a separate dining space.
Sharing these details early helps both sides establish what the event will involve.
An evening in historic Muhsinzade Han
A company dinner can also be an opportunity to introduce visiting colleagues to Istanbul. Olden 1772 welcomes guests in the courtyard of Muhsinzade Han, a historic building whose origins date to 1772. Its kitchen presents contemporary interpretations of flavours from Anatolian and Istanbul cuisine.
For a team coming together after a day of meetings, an evening around the table creates room for conversation beyond the immediate work agenda. The setting can become part of the experience shared by colleagues visiting from different cities or offices.
Private dining rooms for smaller teams
If you would like a separate dining area for your group, explore Olden 1772’s Secret Room and Magic Room. Each room can accommodate up to 17 guests.
Discuss your group size, preferred seating arrangement and chosen date with the restaurant before deciding on a room. Ask the team to confirm availability, the current minimum spend and what it includes.
Agree on the menu and budget in advance
Reviewing the current menu is a useful starting point for planning your company dinner. Discuss the menu options available to your group, the drinks included and any charges associated with additional requests.
Share guests’ allergies and dietary preferences before the reservation is confirmed. This allows the restaurant to clarify which requests it can accommodate and helps you communicate the arrangements to your colleagues.
