📖

Full description

Karaköy Dem Meyhanesi is a mid-range bar-restaurant in Karaköy that draws crowds for its fish in lavash, which reviewers say justifies the wait when a queue forms. The upper floors are popular for sunset views, and a table is best reserved ahead of time.

Visitors flag a few drawbacks: heavy smoking on the top floor, high noise levels, average food for some, and a service charge. It opens in the early afternoon and runs late, making it a lively option for an evening drink or snack with a partner.

Truly delicious fish in lavash. It was definitely worth standing in line. The queue is not always there — you just need to choose the right moment. Sometimes you wait for a while, and sometimes you arrive and there’s no line at all. Highly recommended!
