Meyhane · Caddebostan, since 2014

Dinner, slowly.

Twenty-two cold meze, fish from the morning boats and a rakı list that takes a while to read.

  • Today from the boats
  • Bonito on oak charcoal
  • Red mullet, pan-fried
  • Sea bass in paper
  • Bluefish, the last of the season
  • Grilled octopus
  • Anchovy, when the boats bring it

The house

A meyhane run by two fishmongers’ sons

Deniz and Emre Arslan grew up behind their father’s stall at Kumkapı. They still buy there at six every morning, and the board you see at night is whatever came in on the boats.

The cold meze are made by Nuran Hanım, who has been with us since the first night — the haydari recipe is hers and she is not sharing it.

  • Fish bought daily at Kumkapı, nothing farmed
  • Forty rakıs, eleven by the glass
  • Private room upstairs for up to twelve

    The lakerda alone is worth the booking. Ask for a table by the window around sunset.

    Great fish, attentive service, slightly loud after ten on Saturdays.

    Üst kattaki odayı on iki kişi için ayırttık. Fiks menü bol, iki alerjiyi sorunsuz hallettiler.

    Proper meyhane, proper prices. The rakı list is long; let them recommend.
