Viktor Levi Sarap Evi
Historic 1914 wine house with garden oasis
Founded in 1914 by Viktor Levi, a Jewish merchant from Gallipoli, this legendary wine house has been lovingly restored to its former glory. The two-story Ottoman-style building features a spectacular courtyard garden - a true green oasis in the heart of Moda. With an extensive Turkish wine selection and Mediterranean-inspired plates, it's where heritage meets hospitality.
Editor's Tip
110+ years of history. The courtyard garden is magical - request seating there. Revived in 2022 with blessing from the original family.
