Hidden away on the top floor of an unassuming building in the trendy suburb of Bebek is one of Istanbul’s coolest casual all-day dining destinations, Mangerie. This is where you’ll find Istanbul’s fashionable crowd sipping expertly crafted coffees and cocktails, and savouring fresh, healthy and stomach-satisfyingly good international cuisine. Serving a modern day take on traditional Istanbul street food, enjoy a hearty breakfast menu of homemade granola with fresh fruit and creamy yoghurt or a to-die-for eggs benedict; a lunchtime grilled sea bass sandwich in corn bread with roasted aubergine purée and olive tapenade; or a long and indulgent dinner of fresh seafood and perfectly grilled aged steak. With beautiful panoramic views overlooking the Bosphorous waterfront, Mangerie’s interiors feature pale wooden floors, rustic-chic wooden mirrors and display tables with artfully presented baked pastries, where you’ll feel like you’ve stepped inside your stylish designer friend’s beach house for the day. Bookings advised.
