Came here on a busy Friday night which was also Christmas Eve, 2021. Our party of 4 probably…read moreordered half of the items on the menu: guacamole, french fries, fried zucchini straws, pate plate, soups, meatballs, duck rolls, popcorn shrimp, ribs, ice cream, cheesecake, and many other items. To say everything was exceptional is an understatement! The food was incredibly tasty, served at the perfect temps, and prepared to perfection. The service was beyond amazing: our server even cut most items into quarters and personally served all of us. He was incredibly attentive (but not overly attentive) and took care of everything we asked for very quickly. The manager also spent quite a bit of time with us taking care of everything. She was beyond incredible! Beyond the food and service, the decor was out of this world and the atmosphere was great. I could go into specifics on how amazing the craft cocktails were as well, but just take my word for it when I say they were world class. I've not had many dining experiences as good as this in my whole life. If you are ever visiting Istanbul and you don't visit this place, you are truly doing yourself a disservice. A true gem!!! We'll be back the first chance we get. Thank you for the wonderful experience!

It's 300 per person if you don't drink, however the cuisine is neither unique or special enough to spend that sort of money. It's urban cuisine done good, but that's it. Even the side dishes you can order with your main dish are extra. I've had 3 pieces of fillet meat and mashed potatoes for 67 liras, which ought to give you an idea. Yes it tasted fine, but not amazing. The only unique food on the menu are the steak tartare and the snail. But to have a coffee, this is pretty much the perfect place as it's reasonably prices and the coffee is really good. (Julius Meinl) You can sit inside or outside, and the ambiance and service is genuinely good, however you either must be loaded or trying to impress somebody if you're having a proper dinner here.

Petra unlike other chains, actually knows how coffee ought to taste like so if you're in Kanyon and need a quick fix, skip the chain coffee shops, skip the chain cafés like The House Café or Well Done or Kitchenette. Come to Petra, Petra welcomes you my fellow Yelpers, come and enjoy some fine Kenyan beans which burst with floral notes. The only downside of Petra is that it's quite tiny. Their main location is around Gayrettere, which is an incredibly cool looking place but hard to get to. However, this just incoming, I just learned that they're opening a new place around Nisantasi, so great news for those with taste buds!

Authentic Turkish Cuisine Worth the Wait…read more A fantastic experience at Mahir Lokantası, recognized by Michelin and Gault&Millau! We waited around 15-20 minutes for a table, but the food made it worthwhile. The meat and eggplant güveç was delicious, and the kuşbaşı pide was equally impressive. Everything tasted fresh and was prepared right in front of us. Wonderful flavors and authentic Turkish cuisine. I would happily return!

They sat us in the smoking area and there were ppl everywhere smoking cigars and cigarettes, we tried to bear w it, until we couldn't anymore asked for the check and couldn't even wait at the table for the check we had to go stand somewhere else. That's when we were told there was a non smoking area!!! Like hello??? Why didn't you offer that option from the start!! On to the food: mediocre at best. Some gyoza filled with beef in yogurt sauce was odd and the octopus with some white sauce was mediocre. I ordered the sunset bar and grill fillet, it was tasteless, bland like cardboard serve on two tablespoons of potato puree (bland also) my husband had the black cod and it was beyond dry. We do travel all over and go to restaurants all over the planet expensive ones and under a bridge for great food and we know what's good food and what's not. Consider yourself warned. This place sucks.

Solera is a wine bar located in Beyoğlu, Istanbul. It's a small, but not a quiet place that offers…read moremostly indoor but also some outdoor seating. They offer wines from around Türkiye as well as some small dishes. My friend introduced me to Solera Winery in fall 2019 and it quickly became my favorite place to go for a drink. It's located in a young and hipster-ish neighborhood so there's always people walking around the neighborhood and usually waiting outside. The inside is small and only has a few tables. I'm not complaining, actually I think this makes the bar feel more close or even romantic, if you're on a date. In terms of drinks, there actually a pretty large menu of wine to pick from. I personally love the fruit wines so I've tried the nar, vişne, and karadut wines from both Trakya and Denizli. They're all lovely! However, my favorite of all is the sicak şarap. It's the perfect winter drink or drink on a cold evening. It's honestly the best sicak şarap that I've tried in Istanbul. For food, they offer small platers and even dinner dishes. I've only tried the charcuterie plate with meats and cheese, and it's pretty good.
