Borden
Chef-driven fine-casual seafood with daily catch and creative small plates
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
Chef-driven fine-casual seafood in Yeldeğirmeni with daily catch, creative small plates, and minimal presentation. The reservation-only intimacy and focused menu signal a kitchen that cares deeply about what it serves. One of the most interesting dining additions to the Asian side.
Editor's Tip
Chef-driven fine-casual seafood means the catch arrives that morning and the menu is rewritten, ask the host what's on tonight, don't read the printed list. The small plates are the strongest format; skip the larger entrees that get over-elaborate. Reserve mid-week.
