Located in the garden of the historic French Orphanage in Bebekoy - a 19th-century settlement in the hills above Bebek established by Catholic nuns - Backyard brings a modern twist to classic Turkish flavors. The restaurant serves breakfast through dinner with seasonal organic ingredients. At night, Backbar opens its doors drawing a young and hip crowd for great cocktails and resident DJs spinning soul and disco, especially buzzy in summer when it takes over the garden.

Editor's Tip

The historic French Orphanage setting is magical. Summer garden cocktails are a Bebek highlight. Two concepts: Backyard for food, Backbar for drinks.
