An unusual but very pleasant place. The prices are certainly "Istanbul" , but the location is great., great view on the veranda. It's still more suitable for a company visit. A good selection of snacks and an unusual serving of dishes. I note that beer lovers are more suitable than wine lovers, but this is expected) I liked the design of the bar, an interesting idea, it seems that all the details were brought from different parts of the world, but even if this is not the case, the flavor is not lost.

Very tasty! Go straight up to the 3rd floor, there is a veranda with a view of the Bosphorus. There are many breakfasts from different cultures. The rest of the menu is also varied. Pleasant music is playing, and the interior is cool.

The environment is very unusual. We had pizza and burgers. He was very successful. The inside is very original designed. The place is decorated with drink bottles, glasses and toys brought by a traveler from places he visited. I am sure that it will provide an unforgettable experience for families with children. We couldn't eat our food from looking around. The view from the terrace is great. It is recommended.

Varuna Gezgin is simply an amazing institution with a deep philosophy and an incredible history of creation. Be sure to ask the waiters or bartenders to tell the story of this place — it's worth it. Go through all the halls: there are many of them, about seven or eight, on different floors, and each has its own atmosphere, mood and music. This is a truly unique space that definitely deserves your attention. I recommend you to visit!

The delight is incredible ! Great location, cozy atmosphere, like visiting friends. The staff is friendly and helpful. From the kitchen, I tried tacos with minced beef, a burger and a chicken roll with walnuts on a pillow of spinach - all dishes are 10 out of 10. I didn't have time for breakfast, they recommended me very much, but another time. I liked that the establishment is multi-level and there is an open veranda. I highly recommend this place.

It's a very cool interior, you can only go for it! We tried pizza (quite tasty) and tacos (I liked the pizza better) on the menu. One of the disadvantages is that there is no physical partition between the halls for non-smokers / smokers, the smell of nicotine is clearly felt in the first hall. And the waiters are so unobtrusive that you have to look out for them and find them, it's easier to walk to the bar and place an order)

It was an atmospheric place, we went to have breakfast and drink cocktails in the evening. The atmosphere is very pleasant! I found this place based on reviews on Yandex, the case when the reviews coincided with reality!

It's a great place. We just didn't notice that someone was smoking. On the contrary, it felt like it was one of the few places where people didn't smoke. I liked the signature burger, but it's without vegetables - it would be great if there were more vegetables. The pizza is great and the avocado salad is huge. I recommend.

A very unusual and interesting restaurant, 3 floors, plus several small outdoor verandas, yes, it's not Turkish style, rather English, but there are so many details that you can look at for a long time. The prices are quite reasonable for Istanbul, we tried kefte, it's very tasty.

Beautiful interior and a solid concept of the establishment. In the evening it's more of a pub, on the 2nd floor they drink beer and smoke at the tables, on the 1st floor there is a more relaxed atmosphere. The food is excellent, and there are interesting drinks made from fresh juices.

We saw it by chance, looking up on a walk, attracted by the interior) Unfortunately, we only came in the evening before departure, we liked it so much that we could barely force ourselves to leave! The interior immerses in a special atmosphere, there are many visitors, but there is no fuss, noise, and at the same time you feel like part of a party. Someone is watching football, someone is chatting, sitting at the bar, in a smoking room... Indescribable emotions, my husband and I are very lucky, we will recommend it and come back again! The most important thing is that the place boasts not only the interior, friendly staff, pleasant prices, pizza and tea, which we managed to taste were very tasty, everything came together-location, interior, staff, people, food!) Highly recommended!!!

Five stars exclusively for the atmosphere, a very interesting cafe, as I understand it, the owner likes to travel and collects various things and objects from trips in his establishment! From the balcony of the smoking room there is a view of part of the building of the Russian Consulate))) I was not impressed with the cuisine, I did not find the dishes I was interested in in the menu, but as they say, the taste and color...
