Kadıköy is one of Istanbul's most popular and crowded places whose fashion never goes out of style. Being such, it houses many dining spots. Moda, a precious neighborhood of the Anatolian side with its quiet streets opening to the sea, historic mansions, houses, and neighborhood life, is experiencing its busiest days. The cosmopolitan district where wealthy Levantine families, Greeks and Armenians, and European minorities once lived was once a seaside destination for Istanbulites like Bağdat Avenue and the Princes' Islands... Almost all fashion houses have European rather than traditional architecture... Club Moda Deniz, established at Atatürk's request, live music evenings, balls, tennis courts, beach, Moda residents' attire, shops, tailors are elements that make up and help understand the district's name on the page of time. Although the recent intense demand may have disappointed you a bit, we have compiled the unique venues and delicious foods in Kadıköy for you.
If you want a strong coffee, Guten Morgen is a Moda address you must visit. As the name suggests, it's a Berlin-inspired but very bright place. Their large yeasted breads and coffees are definitely Moda's new favorite. Freshly brewed coffees are definitely above the general standard in Moda. You can buy some for yourself and take them home. They are also successful in eye-catching desserts like white chocolate macaron, lemon cake, waffles, and apple cookies.
Çiya Sofrası is one of Istanbul's finest showcases of southeastern cuisine, especially Antep cuisine. If you want to eat borani and mumbar, this will be your first choice. Their dishes and skewers are delicious. It's a touristy place and deserves all the praise it receives. The only downside is the price is a bit exaggerated.
Unsurprisingly one of Moda's classics, but Lil Bake is one of those newcomers who knows how to stand out. You can prefer it all day for your daily coffee and cakes that please you with their appearance and taste. There are many varieties. The giant ice cream roll desserts called Budapest Roll enchant everyone with their appearance. In addition to options like chocolate mousse, eclairs, and paris brest, they also offer gluten-free cakes. They are also good at savory items like quiche and toast. The interior and back garden of this place are spacious, bright, and surprisingly simple.
If you find a place to sit, the time between sitting and ordering and your meatballs arriving doesn't exceed 5 minutes. First, fresh bread invites you to the table. When you order, hot sauce is brought to the table, which is a direct step from this bread sauce. The köfte comes with french fries and pickled peppers. There were 10 meatballs in the serving and this was enough, say most customers.
Brekkie is undoubtedly Istanbul's most talked-about croissant. Located in a quieter area heading towards Yoğurtçu Park, this small venue has now grown and reaches more people at its new location. Sitting and hanging out is much more comfortable. Note that long queues form in front of it on weekends. If you evaluate their daily fresh-baked cookies and croissants by Istanbul standards, they are good. The abundance of sweet and savory options is another element that pleases everyone. The staff's smiling face and attention are always there.
Pazar, one of the trendiest fashion venues of recent times, is a place where it's quite difficult to control yourself. The buns piled on the counter are always tempting. Cakes, tahini, bananas, dark lemons everywhere. If you love potatoes, Pazar is just for you. They are very successful in options like rosada and frittata. Various dishes like bagel & pretzel board, pancakes with halloumi and sujuk are perfect for those tired of tasting the same things. There's a lot of healthy food outside, but it's hard to rank among them. Don't forget their bread sauces either. Their bread is delicious. Also, even if you can't go on Sunday, they have delivery service.
Naan Bakeshop, a neighborhood bakery on wide Moda Avenue leading to the pier, deserves a special place. Those who know Sandy Abut and Onur Sarpaş, owners of one of Istanbul's best breakfast restaurants, know that Sandy quickly became famous by introducing Moda to handmade bread. Sandy has been baking bread for famous restaurants for many years at his workshop in Reşitpaşa under the Naan name. Naan, which warms the hearts of those who enter through its door first with its windows full of bread and pastries, then with its warm atmosphere, library, and calm seating arrangement, is also an inspiration for many breakfast venues that will follow in his footsteps. They produce eight types of sourdough bread of a quality you won't easily find in Istanbul. All the bread options like poached egg and avocado were delicious.
If you haven't been yet, we can say you're missing out big time. Besides liver, you can be sure it will earn you more money with its taste and mezes. As the name suggests, it's number 1 in liver. Even if you're someone who doesn't like and hates liver, we recommend you try it.
With options like cream cheese omelet, roasted eggplant and tulum cheese toast, conquer 700 GR, one of Moda's standouts. Breads, careful breakfasts, and healthy foods for lunch like soup of the day and falafel are popular. Those who want to eat something healthy usually browse the 700 GR menu.
It's not easy to find a good new wave cafe on the Anatolian side. Rafine Espresso Bar is a company that has captured our hearts with its delicious coffee. I must say for Rafine that it's one of Moda's best new wave cafes. Make sure to give their desserts a chance.
It's a well-priced restaurant. Product variety is very good. Fresh ayran is amazing. What else? Especially the diced meat pide is very nice. But you shouldn't skip the mantı, it's really delicious and filling. If you want to eat pide bread, you might have to wait half an hour. Because it's always busy and service can be slow.
The location of Bubada, which makes you feel like you're in New York rather than Moda, and the décor in its narrow space are eye-catching. Delicious sandwiches, elegant and satisfying sandwiches with eggs, meat, and cheese are truly exceptional.
With its paper-thin dough and crispy lahmacun, it's one of the favorites. It's a casual place down the road. There are plenty of snack foods. You can eat delicious lahmacuns served quickly on the stools outside.
They offer pizza by the slice. You can be full in two minutes. Because the slice is very large. The pizzas are made by chefs who have worked in Italy for many years. There are pizzas you won't find everywhere like Rainbow Pizza, Quattro Formaggi, and Popeye.
İskender is one of the first places to go when you want to eat in Istanbul. It may be a bit expensive but you'll see it's worth the money compared to other iskender chains. The staff is very attentive, service is fast, and the food was very delicious.
One of Istanbul's best Black Sea restaurants. It offers an extensive menu where you can find black cabbage soup. Grilled pickles and cabbage rolls are excellent. Portions are very satisfying. With its service and smiling staff, this delicious paella with beans will make you smile.
