Pasha Bebek opened in Bebek to revive the culture of eating and drinking in old İstanbul. They serve the best examples of Turkish, Armenian and Greek mezes and traditional Turkish dishes. The warm Greek tunes take you to a warm summer evening on the shore, though you also have the chance to hear live buzuki, accordion and violin melodies on some nights of the week. Though the real draw, of course, Turkish, Armenian and Greek meze dishes.
