Palms

Admit it: even if you’re not a fan of working out, there are times when you can’t resist the appeal of sports clubs – after all, most of them come with laid-back dining sections where everyone’s walking around in T-shirts and shorts. The newly opened Palms inside Hillside City Club in Etiler is precisely that kind of place, one that’s thankfully open to everyone. This terrace overlooking the tennis courts gets its name from Palm Springs, and the Californian influence is evident in the pastel hues and wooden furniture that make up the eatery’s décor. The daily lunch menu offers familiar finds like whole-wheat penne or beğendili köfte (meat patties with eggplant puree). You can also order salads with ingredients like roast beef and oven-baked salmon. Those looking to build muscle can opt for the muscle omelet with goat’s milk lor cheese, smoked turkey and plenty of egg whites or the avocado toast with fried egg. Last but not least, Palms also offers fresh juices, which have already proven popular with members looking to cool down after a sweat sesh next door.
