Fairuz SmewSeptember 5, 2018Small restaurant with a lot of flavor! Their selection of cold starters are really tasty and the main course was lovely and light. Would recommend a visit if your near İstiklal/ Taksim area.
Cem OzSeptember 13, 2015Meze by Lemon Tree was a good experience. The mezes are really fresh, made with hand-picked ingredients. The staff knows good english&very friendly. danish blue cheese w apricots and ceviche was epic.
Alican YalçınerApril 23, 2016One of the best in town. Cosy place with warm welcoming. Meze's were all delicious. Especially octopus and cold starters. This place definitely deserve every single penny on your pocket
AFAR MediaFebruary 11, 2015The main attraction here is the meze. Sometimes innovative (as with a seaweed salad with ginger) and other times traditional, they are all tasty. Read more

Spotted by Locals - city guides by localsSeptember 18, 2013Their fava (mashed fava beans), special Yaprak sarma (rice-stuffed wine leaves) with kisir, mucver and sea food starters are delicious!

Colin AsheAugust 7, 2015Meze was, for me, an amazing introduction to Turkish cuisine. Everything was delicious. Get a reservation.
Mine KTApril 2, 2013Fine food, great wine, excellent creative appetizers, yummy veal and fascinating deserts. Reserve ahead of time, their place is quite small...

Dele NeddJanuary 4, 2018Probably the best dinner we had in Istanbul. Little place packed with a whole lotta punch.
maria anestiJanuary 3, 2014Amazing tapas!best turkish restaurant ever!very interesting ideas and flavors!try the seabass with appricots!
Oliv34June 14, 2014I think I will become addicted to this place, amazing mezes and wonderful atmosphere. Ali bey, fantastic waiter.
Book your table at least a week before. Continue with mezes only and finish with their special dessert
- Simply the BEST RESTAURANT of ISTANBUL , chef Gençay is outstanding :)
jeremyetJune 10, 2013Great food and wonderful 'foodie' vibe. Portions are generous, so you might want to skip lunch.- K HAugust 26, 2014Mezes are good (nothing mind blowing). Lamb chops are delicious! Service started off well but slowly deteriorated throughout the evening. Waited half an hour just to see a dessert menu. Disappointing.

Jorge AlagonApril 20, 2013All cold mezes are amazing. Especially the eggplant / aubergine ones. Drink a raki too!
- Tony WhelanAugust 26, 2012Great food. Try the chilli banana honey and yogurt desert. And bite the chilli!
Alexandra IpekdjianNovember 7, 2013Best place in Istanbul fore me. Great service, tasty food and nice setting!
banucicek gurcuogluDecember 20, 2013They canceled our reservation in the morning of the event saying that they "forgot" another reservation that was pre paid. They did not compensate and were very impolite in the process.
Simon PerdrisatApril 19, 2015The food is all right but overpriced. Target foreigners. Service was a bit hostile. I'm use to way better experiences in Istanbul.
J MaAugust 21, 2014This place is actually completely overrun by tourists and the food is terrible - way too greasy. Ignore tripadvisor reviews
