Chef Meyhane
Modern Cretan tavern with Bosphorus views by the Chef Mezze pioneer
Chef Meyhane is the newest concept from Gazi Ates, the pioneer of the modern tavern concept in Turkey who created Chef Mezze. Opened as a Cretan tavern (Girit meyhanesi), the restaurant maintains the motto 'Mezze, Music, Scenery' while offering stunning Bosphorus views featuring Kuleli Military High School, Camlica, and the bridge. The stylishly decorated interior complements an exterior that's described as 'beyond words' for its waterfront panorama.
