  • 5/5 Polina K. 10 months ago on Google
    I’ve been here several times. Firstly, can recommend this place for breakfast, big portions and good quality of food. Also very big amount of products, you can order anything: pizza, pasta, burgers, main courses (Turkish and not). A lot of cocktails and wines. Prices are normal. In some evenings that have live-music concerts and a lovely atmosphere. Some waiters speak English! P.S. highly recommend cheesecake Malina (для любителей сырников рекомендую попробовать чизкейк «малина»)

    Outdoor area is perfect for summer nights. We had a birhtday party and the venue brought us 10+ grapefruit-mango shots alomgside the birthday cake, as a surprise gift to birthday girl. The staff are very friendly and helpful.

    This was the second time I've been to this outdoor restaurant in the evening and it was remarkable. Lots of people having a really good time with lots of lively conversation. The perfect place to lift your spirits and have some extraordinary food. The people who crafted the menu of this place are creative geniuses. Everything I've eaten there so far has been visually beautiful, made with healthful ingredients, and super tasty. The ONLY thing I don't like about this place is the horrifying photos of cancer and other smoking health victims on the cigarette packages that are openly spotlighted to the entire restaurant near the entrance. They are a sharp contradiction to the healthful ingredients of the food and the restaurants vivacious atmosphere. Perhaps they could be moved to a more discreet location or you might consider not selling cigarettes at all. They kill people. Millions of people. Slowly and painfully. Do you really want to be an ongoing part of that?

    The best spicy chicken tenders I've ever eaten but the chicken wrap was too doughy.

    Very spacious and nice cafe-bistro, we have been there with a group of 40 people on Sunday lunch time, service was fast. They have a menu which fits to every taste, especially french fries was delicious. By looking at what others eat, the portions were more than enough. Lady owner was very polite. Thanks for the wonderful lunch break

  • 5/5 Gülder A. 5 years ago on Google
    Nice new cafe. Spacious place all outside and it is getting popular. A good menu with fried dishes, salads and some good meat. Good for cocktails and drinks. Usually crowded and a lot of noise after working hours not really the place you'd like to sit to relax. The prices are a bit high for the place. D

    It's a good place to have dinner with friends. Maybe during the covid the social distancing is not completely ok, but otherwise it is a good place for having a drink, dinner with friends.

    I came with my family to Buenas Bistro at the recommendation of a local chef, and we were not disappointed. We tried the chicken quesadillas, American chips, and the avocado and quinoa salad. You can find quesadillas in most trendy student-oriented restaurants now, but Buenas really does it right. This was the first place we've seen an avocado quinoa salad in Turkey. It was also amazing. Looking forward to going back!

👍👍 One of the best steak and meat restaurants in İzmir. The meat is sold by the kg, and it's up to the customer if you want prepared for eating there or take it home. Their fries are complementary of you chose to eat there.
