The Bostanlı waterfront meyhane locals defend
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed June 2026
A neighbourhood Aegean meyhane on Bostanlı's Cemal Gürsel waterfront that has anchored the across-the-bay dining scene since 2019. Cold-meze trays, grilled fish and the raki ritual served to a crowd of regulars rather than tourists. The kind of unfussy, product-led table the Karşıyaka set treats as a canteen.
