Agapia Mezze & Meyhane
50 varieties of mezze in a 120-year-old building facing Sureyya Opera
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A new-generation meyhane housed in a 120-year-old building near the Süreyya Opera House, Agapia offers 50 varieties of mezze blending Rum culinary traditions with contemporary Turkish tavern culture. The historic architecture and opera-house views create an atmosphere that elevates the meyhane experience without losing its soul.
Editor's Tip
Reserve a window table on the upper floor for the Sureyya Opera facade, the building's history matters here more than any specific dish. Order the rakı setup with three or four cold mezes (Rum-style enginar, midye dolma, lakerda) before any hot plate; the kitchen gets ambitious where it shouldn't. Avoid Friday-Saturday after 22:00 unless you want a meyhane chorus next to your table.
