Fenz İstanbul Yalı 77

Nestled beneath ancient northern plane trees on the sea-
front of Sultaniye Has in Beykoz, which houses the largest
gardens in Istanbul, Yalı 77 has emerged as a new op-
tion for gathering with friends over good food. Situated
within the Sultaniye Park between Beykoz and Paşabahçe,
the seafront location of the venue is extremely nostalgic.
Yalı 77, accommodating 150 in its garden and 80 indoors,
makes a name for itself with its delightful menu. Head Chef
Saim Eser is a prominent figure in the slow food move-
ment. Here, unique Anatolian products are supplied direct-
ly from the producers. The dishes made with ingredients
sourced from gardens, markets, and dairy farms are natu-
rally satisfying. Throughout the day, the stars on Yalı 77’s
menu are ‘lakerda,’ marinated sea bass, pistachio Cretan
paste, ‘tekmil fava,’ and mini stuffed meatballs... Pizzas,
homemade pastas, and burgers are among the most fre-
quently ordered options. At Yalı 77, perfect for extended
weekend breakfast gatherings, the Bodrum tangerine, el-
derberry, and fig jams are tantalizing. Furthermore, the
breakfast enjoyment is enhanced with a variety of cheeses,
delightful pastries, and fresh olives. The venue combines a
cozy atmosphere with professional service, comfort, and
a rich menu, making it an ideal choice for special event
invitations.

Fenz, aiming to be the city’s most stylish, enticing, and
trendy restaurant, appeared last month in the middle of the
Istinye-Yeniköy line. Its luxurious décor, positioned in the
marina, and the breathtaking view of the Istanbul Bospho-
rus immediately made it a focal point upon its opening. Fea-
turing influences from Mediterranean and Asian cuisines in
its menu, Fenz spans three floors with a Lounge, Fine Din-
ing Restaurant, and Roof Bar. Renowned architect Mahmut
Anlar’s distinctive touch, frequently heard of in Istanbul’s
favorite dining spots, brings a simple and sophisticated am-
biance to this inviting environment. Crafted by Chef Tol-
ga Bozok, the Mediterranean selection at Fenz comprises
delightful starters, shared plates, and main courses. Each
flavor on Fenz’s menu merges the richness of the Medi-
terranean with the depth of Asia. Dishes, combining sea-
food, meat, vegetables, and fresh herbs, are prepared using
various cooking techniques. If you drop by Fenz for a late
lunch, you can try the healthy and satisfying alternatives in
the brasserie; after work, savor the special cocktails. Dur-
ing dinner, you can indulge in a long yet highly qualitative
gastronomic experience. If you intend to extend the night
and socialize, continue the entertainment with DJ perfor-
mances at the Roof Bar.
