This new venue by the Urban Bug crew is nestled in a secret garden at the end of a one-way alley in Cihangir, ready to greet visitors with its outdoor heaters.
The menu boasts 135 options, courtesy of Fesleğen Meyhane’s Aslı Ünsal. Our favourites are the mussel-stuffed white cabbage, mackerel in soy sauce and mücver (fried courgette) with aniseed. For our main course, we opt for the drunken tenderloin (36 TL) cooked in wine and served with celery puree and Porcini mushrooms, a definite hit on the menu. Urban Bug Lounge also serves all-day breakfast, though the real draw here is the entertainment, offered seven days a week.
