New Restaurant Meyhouse Brings Turkish Drinking Culture to Silicon Valley - Eater SF
"Meyhouse, co-owned by Omer Artun and Koray Altinsoy, opens on August 9 at 640 Emerson Street in downtown Palo Alto. It's a meyhane-style restaurant, inspired by traditional Turkish taverns, serving a variety of cold and hot mezze, with a focus on seafood. The Palo Alto location features a charcoal grill and a wood-fired oven, allowing for unique offerings like charcoal-grilled bread and roasted Chilean sea bass with murri. The menu also includes rare Turkish dishes like lakerda and smoked beef tongue. The restaurant emphasizes the dining experience beyond food, featuring an intimate music venue and tableware crafted by Artun himself. A curated selection of drinks, including an extensive wine list, complements the menu." - Lauren Saria
