The prices are affordable. The view from outdoor seating is great. It's generally very crowded. If you go there without doing reservation on a Saturday night, you can hardly find a table for your group of friends. If you are just 2-3 people, then you can be lucky :))

I've been meaning to try Tribeca's restaurant in Etiler since I discovered that they had a branch…read morehere. Judging from their location I had hoped that they had a garden similar to their branch in Yenikoy (now closed). While they do have seating outside it's not really a garden and it fell short of my expectations. I had the Texas bagel and we ordered Bruschetta to share. The waiter mixed up the order and brought me something else. When notified of the mistake he quickly apologized and changed my bagel. The bagel itself was good and the side salad was ok. I find the portions to be too small for the prize. The Texas bagel is priced 40₺ which is very expensive considering the size. The bruschetta was not good. The bagel they served it on was crumbly and the tomatoes weren't fresh. To end on a positive note. The interior design looks better than the outside seating. The waiters are kind, service is quick and the music was very nice. I don't think I'll return but if you want to try this place maybe go for breakfast instead of lunch. The breakfast menu looked much better.

Good for breakfast. The only cafe that serves bagel nearby. Has a garden which is great in summerread more

The dude with a beard/ Osman would talk to you like you just walked in to prison cell. I will give you an example: we took the menu while waiting to prep our friends to order; Mr.Osman attacked and grabbed it off our hands.

I came looking for this place specifically ..I wonder if I came alone that would mean I couldn't have a table out on the terrace .. I think if I was told that I would walk out and never recommend this place to anyone. Just a note to Mangerie " sometimes we come to a resturant solo because we want to enjoy a place all on our own..

This restaurant was close to our hotel. One night my friend and I went out for a night drinks and…read moredessert. When we got there all the tables were taken and they weren't seating anyone else due to it being Saturday night they began to remove the tables as people got up. So we just hung out at the bar for a while and got a couple of drinks. The drinks were not cheap. It's a trendy place so cocktails were around 38 Liras which comes out to around $13, NYC bar prices. The drinks were okay and we enjoyed the ambience of the night. It was very low key. The next afternoon we returned for brunch. We really enjoyed the food here. It was a great change from the traditional breakfast we had been having. They have a great menu. I got the pancakes and my friend got the sliders. It was a great start to the day.

Any is the new Goldmine on the European side of Istanbul, right in Arnavutköy. For those who know…read moreIstanbul, know that there has been one bar (Lucca) that has kept its popularity over the years, despite its small indoors, and has had people overflowing on to the streets. Now, since about a year a new trendy place has opened up and that is Any. It has become the neighborhood hangout, whether it's for brunch, lunch or dinner, drinks or partying. People meet up here now at all times of the day and it is always crowded. Since my best friend lives right above it, I have been here several times each time I visit Istanbul. It has a chilled atmosphere during the day, but at night it suddenly becomes the trendy place to be. Starting with drinks the crowd moves on to a club atmosphere when at 11 all the tables and chairs in the middle get removed and turn into a dancefloor. The DJ plays on Fridays and Saturdays until 3 in the morning, when the lights go on again. There is also a second floor to dine but it is only reserved for big groups. The brunch menu is rich, like any Turkish brunch menu offering a wide range of yummy options. What's great for Tourists or non-turks are two special items on the menu: pork-ribs and Frankfurter Sausage. As a Frankfurter, I of course had to try the interpretation of our sausage. It is definitely not a Frankfurter from a local's perspective but rather a crossover between Frankfurter and Bratwurst with a buttery middle. Served together with pickles and potatoes with red peppers. Like I said, it the interpretation accord to local taste but definitely yummy. The ribs come with a housemade sauce which is a little like barbeque sauce but a little spicier. The drinks menu is also extensive and delicious as well with a variety of cocktails. Do try the cocktail with Ginseng, it is quite refreshing!

Excellent place great food highly recommended. Friendly staff and great service. Terrific pizza.read more
