About us

A quarter century on the same shore,with the same care.

Our story began in Fenerbahçe in 2001. We wanted to create that warm, easy place where everyone feels at home.

Every ten years we widened the dream: Maltepe in 2011, Şile in 2021. Along the way we opened up to world cuisine and built a rich, varied table. Every plate and every cup we serve today is prepared with the same care.

We believe the best meetings happen on their own, like a good coincidence. What we serve, though, is never left to chance.

    Our third branch, on the Black Sea shore.

Our values

Three compasses that have set our course for 25 years.

A quarter century of experience

On the same shore since 2001, with the same care. In all three branches you feel the steadiness that experience brings.

Flavour that never changes

The taste of what we serve is never a coincidence. Every plate that leaves our kitchen is made with years of experience and the freshest ingredients of the day.

Warmth

Step through the door and you feel at home; the same warm welcome waits in all three branches.

From our guests

Words left at the table.

A place where the years have worn the tables and the decor but couldn't touch the quality… We ordered the kaşar cheese gözleme and the menemen at midnight and they were incredibly tasty. By the sea, a lovely spot, good service — what more could you ask for.

These days there are very few places that recognise you every time you walk in and give you special attention, but this one always does. If you're after feeling comfortable rather than luxury, I recommend it.

I've been going here for about 24-25 years. Relaxed; the kind of place you can go on your own or with a group of friends.

Years ago, when we went for breakfast, I dropped my purse. They had locked it away at the till, car keys and all, and hadn't touched a thing. That's why my affection for this place is endless. I would absolutely recommend it to everyone.

A place the years haven't managed to wear out… Quality is no coincidence.
