About Latife Meyhane

Latife Meyhane, also known as Latife Bestekar, is a meyhane on Bestekar Caddesi in Kavaklıdere, the street of bars and meze restaurants a block from Tunalı Hilmi Caddesi. The restaurant presents itself as an address for rakı, fish and meyhane culture, with the slogan "old tastes, new memories". The table is built around a wide choice of mezes, followed by fresh fish and seafood, with grilled meat and chicken dishes such as köfte for those who prefer them, and rakı and beer to drink. The full menu, with current prices, is published on the restaurant's website. It is a place for a long evening of shared plates rather than a quick meal, and fits naturally into a night out on Bestekar Caddesi, where several other meyhanes and bars sit within a few doors of each other. Practical notes: reservations are taken by phone or WhatsApp on +90 544 734 54 82, and booking ahead is sensible at weekends. The restaurant also posts on Instagram as latifebestekar. Opening hours are not published on its website.
