    Very historic ambience. lot of options to choose from for vegetarians from hummus to babaganush, also good for vegans. All dishes (except Amphora vegetables) were quite oily. Nothing was spicy or even had a tingle of spice. Service was good. Friendly server greeting everyone. Also a friendly cat roaming around in the restaurant.

    Table service was fantastic. Our kids loved the vegetable caserole which came in a clay pot they got to break open. Tons of fun. The shepherds salad was very good and the mezze plate for two was enough for the whole family. Delicious for us vegetarians. Fed our whole family of four heartily for 50 USD.

    Not easy to find vegetarian places in Turkey, it’s all about kebab, but this place has excellent options for vegans and vegetarians. Try the Vegetarian Ânfora, it’s tasty and a show the way they cook and serve.

    The best place we've been to in Istanbul. The restaurant is filled with numerous books, trinkets, figurines, and collectibles. Its unique atmosphere combined with impeccable service made it our go-to place. The staff gave us a warm welcome every time we went there, and offered some free tea and a discount. The food was great, and there are nice options for vegans and vegetarians. If I had to recommend only one restaurant in Istanbul, I would definitely name this one.

    Stumbled upon this gorgeous hidden gem on our first day in Istanbul and had our very first meal here. Needless to say, we came back for our last meal too! Everything about the place is stunning - from the decor to the food to the service. Would 100% recommend!

    Amazing place that I highly recommend. The history of the place that was an ancient house boat, the decor which is so beautiful, the staff lovely and the food delicious. It is definitely an hidden gem that I would like to visit again next time I am in Istanbul. I loved it!

    This place had so many positive reviews that I decided to go there for a dinner. I was met nicely and the place looks amazing inside. I have ordered mixed seafood casserole and a pint of Efes beer. They gave me some olives and bread which was very nice, however when my dish (79 lira!) arrived I was disappointed - it wasn’t fresh, the seafood had this particular smell like it started getting spoiled. This smell now was throughout the whole restaurant and they started spraying some fragrance to get rid of it. But now all my food and drink smelled like fragrance :( Moreover, when I got a receipt I was shocked - 30 lira for a beer and 10 lira tax (which is already included in the price!). When I argued they crossed out the tax and said I can pay 100 lira in total. Scammy place with bad food, I do not recommend going there.

    With indulgency, i rate this place with two stars. I don't usually give bad reviews, but the experience was different from what others wrote: the food was not that tasty, grilled halloumi was actually fried, ridiculous prices for water and higher prices in comparison with other places around. Nevertheless, the welcome & service was not welcoming at all. To conclude, don't make this your first choice when searching for a place to eat.

    This place is a trap for tourists. Don't be fooled by the Turkish menu outside. I went to this place with my son after the worker there kept talking to us whenever we walked by from our hotel. The food there has no taste and the portion is very small. Their food was basically cooked with no spice and the meat wasn't fully cooked. I was in Istanbul for 11 days and this was by far the worse food I had there. Plus it is very expensive in comparison to other places around.

    Very good Turkish cuisine. We had the lentil soup and the vegetables casserole. The dessert are very good too (pumpkin , kunefe). The place is lovely ( in old Byzantine cave). And the host is very kind. I highly recommend.

    One of my favorite dining experiences in Istanbul. First of all, the owner was very helpful in defining on WhatsApp the vegan choices. When we arrived we were greeted at the door of their incredibly beautiful place by the very charming owner. The meal was fantástico from start to finish. We shared a vegan Mezze plate which was very large and delicious. Followed by my wife’s not so vegan choice which was a show in itself and my pide (Turkish style pizza) with many vegetables- not on the menu and was decidedly fantastic. We enjoyed a bottle of wine over dinner and a glass of Raki to finish. And Alain experience to end our trip to Turkey. Thank you Arch Bistro

    You need 6 stars to describe the atmosphere while eating in a 1700 year old Byzantine boat house. Decor is nice. There are some nice puzzles and games in a niche to occupy little ones. The food and service was excellent. Would definitely eat here again! EDIT: Forgot about the free bookmarks patrons receive. They are nice little souvenirs. I look forward to finding them in books from time to time and being reminded of a fond memory with the family.

    Went to have a wine experience and ended up in love with the pkace and its decoration. I only tried a few mezes and delicious wine, but i will come back without a doubt. Great service l, amazing wines, great flavor and quality. It's definitely a must try if you are in the area.

    Highly recommended restaurant. A bit out of the beaten path, but worth the effort to walk. The foods are amazing! My favorite is the grilled sea bass (so fresh the taste is sweet) and their Ottoman Kebap is a feast not only in your stomach but also in your eyes. Plus the age and looks of the place brings authenticity to our experience of Turkey.

    One of the first vegan restaurants in Istanbul. The food selection is great. They know their vegan stuff and you can find it pretty tasty. The service is relax and the location is convenient. There is a covered patio and inside sitting is limited. It could get crowded at times otherwise it is calm and quiet to enjoy your food. We came here with a small group and though only one vegan everyone was able to find something to eat and actually enjoy it.

    Very delicious pumpkin coconut soup covered some pumpkin seeds. First time trying Vegan beetroot burge with greens, potato salad and lemon sauce. Soo tasty. For the dessert is Sneakers vegan cake, Pomegranate vegan cheesecake and almond milk cappuccino 😍 Liked much. Stuff is friendly, service is very good. Menu is vegan only. No alcohol serving. Approx price for 2 persons (2 different dishes and dessert) is 120 tl

    (Translated by Google) Perhaps those commenting at 5 were more fortunate with their food choices. We ordered a burger with falafel (for 4, ate and tastes much better elsewhere), zucchini noodles (mine was almost tasteless, vegan doesn’t mean NO TASTE), caprese (50/50 flavors) and the worst carob drink. I cook myself and order from different places. It was hot water with cardamom with a froth of vegetable milk, it was not even clear from which one, because there was NO taste at all. Personally, I will not go anymore, even to such a distance. (Original) Возможно тем, кто комментирует на 5, больше повезло с выбором еды. Мы заказывали бургер с фалафелем (на 4, ела и намного вкуснее в других местах), лапша из цуккини (моя была практически безвкусная, веганское не значит БЕЗ ВКУСА), капрезе (вкусы 50/50) и самый ужасный напиток из кэроба. Я готовлю сама и заказываю в разных местах. Это была горячая вода с кардамоном с пенкой из растительного молока, даже непонятно из какого, потому что вкуса НЕ БЫЛО совсем. Лично я не поеду больше, еще и в такую даль.

    (Translated by Google) I don't understand those who comment badly, they wrote so ridiculous comments. We all became four corners with my friends who did not eat such delicious food. It is immaculate, immaculate and incredibly delicious. Careful selection of products in the menu, etc., that makes it halal. We ate 4 cheese toast, hummus, dove, caprese, toffie tart and blondie. We got stuck in all of them. We looked at each other and laughed. These laughter is only possible when they eat well. I highly recommend. Even though it is opened to the Anatolian side, we do not migrate for this meal. Thank you very much. You don't need to be vegan to eat here. Where you can stand out from your ten judgments about veganism. I want to praise a lot and I ate too much and I will sleep full. Go eat. I just pulled out the desserts, but also ironed but ok. (Original) Kotu yorum yazanları anlamıyorum o kadar saçma yorumlar yazmışlar ki. Bu kadar lezzetli yemek yememistik arkadaşlarımla hepimiz dört köşe olduk. Çok özenli tertemiz ve inanilmazzzzz lezzetli. Menudeki ürünlerin özenle seçilmesi vs yani helal olsun dedirtti. Biz 4 peynirli tost, humus, kumru, caprese, toffie tart ve blondie yedik. Hepsinde arka arkaya sok olduk. Birbirimize bakıp gülüp durduk. Bu gülüşmeler ancak iyi yemek yiyince olur. Çok tavsiye ederim. Anadolu yakasına açılsa da göç etmesek şu yemek için. Helaaaaaal olsun çok teşekkürler. Burada yemek için vegan olmanıza gerek yok. Veganlikla ilgili on yargılarınızdan siyrilabileceginiz yer. Çok övmek istiyorum da aşırı yedim ve karnım tok uyicam. Gidin yiyin. Sadece tatlıları çekmişim, hem de ütüyle cekmisim ama olsun.

    Lovely food in a very cozy setting. I especially enjoyed the mezze as starters that the owner picked out for us. Best babaganoush I ate in Istanbul. The owner is also very nice and loves to share the story of his restaurant. I really enjoyed the slow food concept. You eat well, have a great glass of wine and dream away in the setting of the restaurant.

    We just went to this place today by accident and loved the place! It is so authentic and made us feel like we are in somewhere from mid century. The food was very tasty and big portions. Also we really liked the attitude of the as he gave us lots of information about the city and places to visit. I will definitely go here again when I visit Istanbul.

    This is such a cool restaurant - the ambience is fantastic as you can see from the other pictures. The food is delicious - I had the seafood casserole and my dinnermate had the lamb shank. The lamb shank practically fell off the bone, it was so tender, and the seafood casserole's sauce was so good we finished it off with bread after I had finished the meal. One element that makes this restaurant particularly special is the service. We ordered a carafe of wine, and the restaurant owner used it as an opportunity to serve us from a replica of an ancient wine carafe, and showed us how it worked. He and the other staff members were friendly, and perfectly hit the note of checking in on us and making us feel welcome while also giving us time to enjoy our date. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Istanbul and looking for a special evening. Highly recommended

    What a great little restaurant! We went for drinks one night and learned the history of the 1700 year old building. We went back the next evening for drinks and a snack. Another amazing experience! The wine is local to Turkey and fantastic. We had coffee and ice cream...best ice cream in Istanbul! Highly recommend this restaurant and would definitely come back although sadly we leave tomorrow.

    This is a very atmospheric and cozy place. Food is great, people are nice and warm. We had seafood casserole and it was unforgettable. We also had ice cream and the cheese thing for dessert, the guy recommended their sugar-free, gluten-free, and world-best cheese cake. So we had all three of them :p. I have to say, they are awesome. I would highly recommend my friend to come visit this place if they are in Istanbul.

    The arch cafe was right across the street from our air bnb, so we thought it would be a nice place to grab a coffee in the morning. We ordered two filter coffees with a side of milk, and we received two cappuccinos that were not impressive, very expensive, and took a long time to make.

    A cute place, alright food - if you like bland food with no spice. Difficult to translate, one staff member in particular (the main woman tending to customers and serving food) was quite rude. From asking about food to trying to split the bill. We tried explaining what we would each pay for but she got frustrated and another member of staff (the man) intervened and sent her off.

    I loved dining at Arch Bistro. From the moment my friend and I stepped in for dinner, we felt welcomed by the staff and it very comfortable. The staff were dressed very well - suits and fedoras. The food we ordered was really delicious - we got the meze platter as a starter, the chicken casserole, and Alexander's yogurt kebab. All 3 dishes were phenomenal. The restaurant is beautifully decorated. I would definitely return to Arch Bistro for another fantastic meal.

    English speaking Food was delicious Were lucky to find a place as it seems a popular place. Has 5-6 tabels for 2-3 people and other 2 tables for 6+. We paid approx 150tl for two people: apetizers, main course, dessert and drinks.

    Good atmosphere is the best part of this cozy place. But don't think you found a local gem frequented by Turkish. It is a trap. Over charged food. You can get the same food for half they charge. Beware, pretentions tourist trap.

    An absolute gem of a restaurant. Have to try the cheesecake! And the clay oven stew! A quiet, romantic restaurant away from the hustle and bustle. Waiter and restaurant staff were very friendly!

    Wonderful place to eat at. If you like eating healthy stuff especially if you are a vegetarian or a vegan, do not hesitate to go to this amazing place. The prices are a bit higher than standard but you absolutely get the best for what you'll pay for.

    They will lie about the menu and what’s available to get you there and then offer you a salad and hummus which will have ingredients you are allergic. No remorse. No supervisor. No service. Be weary. Carefree, careless. You will go to your hotel hungry.

    (Translated by Google) Zucchini noodles with Bolognese sauce were very nice. The sauce is not as heavy as it seems. The interesting thing is that a vegan meal can keep me full until the evening 😄😄. It was also extremely light. I'm already thinking about what to try next time :) (Original) Bolonez soslu kabak noodle çok güzeldi. Sosu göründüğü kadar ağır değil. İşin ilginç olanı beni bir vegan yemeğin akşama kadar tok tutabilmesi 😄😄. Aynı zamanda son derece hafifti. Diğer sefere ne denesem diye şimdiden düşüncelere daldım :) Ellerinize sağlık

    A bit pricey like other vegan restaurants but it worths every penny. I loved both of the burgers we ate. The nachos was sooo amazing, it is even better than the cheesy counterpart. Their Guacamole is a bit sour for my taste but other than me everybody liked it in our group. I literally want to try every single item on their menu. And I will.

    (Translated by Google) Bi Nevi Deli is a business of insane minds, whose flavors consist in layers, like the double meaning of the name. Service quality is also very kind and relevant. In the first place, I experienced it in Karaköy. The basis of good taste of a burger without meat and from a normal burger was the indication of the wisdom of the Bi Nevi Deli cuisine. Now I recommend you to try more specific flavors like beet burger rather than ubiquitous bowls. (Original) Bi Nevi Deli, isminin çifte manasındaki gibi lezzetleri katman katman oluşan, deli akıllarının bir işi. Servis kalitesi de çok nazik ve ilgili. İlk etapta Karaköy'deki yerinde deneyimlemiştim. Bir burgerin etsiz olup, normal burgerden katbekat iyi tadışının temeli, Bi Nevi Deli mutfağının bilginliğinin göstergesiydi. Artık her yerde olan bowl'lardan ziyade pancar burger gibi daha spesifik lezzetlerini denemenizi tavsiye ederim.

    (Translated by Google) Modern architecture looks very good at the entrance. However, when I told the dessert “Bounty Bar ılar, they made a service that had nothing to do with the dessert, and when I tried to eat the dessert with the service, the dessert flew as you know. He was treated like me. Other than that, they do not even have wet wipes because they are “naturalists ama, but they are not left with using plastic items and lighting unnecessary light. I don't understand why people give premium to such ridiculous restaurants. And the worst dessert I've ever had. (Original) Girişte modern mimari çok iyi gözüküyor. Ancak “Bounty Bar” adlı tatlıyı söylediğimde tatlıyla hiçbir alakası olmayan bir servis yaptılar ve tatlıyı verilen servisle yemeye çalıştığımda da tatlı bildiğiniz uçtu. Bunun sorumlusu da ben gibi davranıldı. Bunun dışında “doğacı” oldukları için ıslak mendil bile bulundurmuyorlar ama plastik eşyalar kullanmaktan, gereksiz ışık yakmaktan geri kalmamışlar. Böyle saçma saçma restoranlara insanların prim vermelerini hiç anlayamıyorum. Ayrıca yediğim en kötü tatlı falandı.

    This evening we had a lovely meal at Arch Bistro. The food was delicious, service was amazing and the setting is in a beautiful historic building in the area of Sultanahmet. If you are seeking great food and conversation in a wonderful setting you cannot go past Arch Bistro. The meze was delicious was the best I have had in Istanbul!!

    Over one hour waiting for main disch, which never came... instead of it most expensive humus in Istambul 😅 We paid more for mezze plate than anywhere else for whole dinner with drinks for two. Owner said, that they just open after two years, my question is what for?

    Amazing food, excellent service, a lot of veggie and vegan options and a wonderful ambience! I can absolutely recommend!

  • 5/5 Alicia B. 1 year ago on Google
    This is such a cool restaurant - the ambience is fantastic as you can see from the other pictures. The food is delicious - I had the seafood casserole and my dinnermate had the lamb shank. The lamb shank practically fell off the bone, it was so tender, and the seafood casserole's sauce was so good we finished it off with bread after I had finished the meal. One element that makes this restaurant particularly special is the service. We ordered a carafe of wine, and the restaurant owner used it as an opportunity to serve us from a replica of an ancient wine carafe, and showed us how it worked. He and the other staff members were friendly, and perfectly hit the note of checking in on us and making us feel welcome while also giving us time to enjoy our date. We would recommend this restaurant to anyone visiting Istanbul and looking for a special evening.

    I want to say a huge thank you to the guy who returned our wallet which we left at the table. My apologies that we didn’t believe you for the first time and didn’t apologise in person while we were in Istanbul. It’s a really nice place with great cocktails and amazing staff. Highly recommend for everyone who will explore Sultanahmet area😌
