Apartıman Yeniköy

Simply perfect! Meat, eggplant, tomato salad, meatballs, smoked fish were all amazing. Made me want to come back within the same week. If I was living in Istanbul I would be a regular :) only critical comment - I’ve been there twice (once for dinner and once for lunch) artichoke chips at dinner was amazing but for lunch it was thicker and less tasty so only critical comment would be around consistency.

What an awesome dinner! The terrace is so cozy and charming with tables under an old tree. I wish we could spend 3 hours there just drinking tea and people watching. The food is on another level—incredible cooking, such beautiful combinations of aromas and textures, we haven’t had a single dish that was a miss (and we ordered A LOT). Standouts were egglplants with molasses, balık basma (!!!) and smoked sardines. Seabass for main course was insanely delicious! Local wine list, friendly service, can’t wait to be back one day.

Step into the culinary gem of Yeniköy - Apartıman! From the moment you walk in, it's evident that every detail is meticulously crafted, reflecting the dedication of the management team. While dinner at Apartıman is already an exquisite affair, boasting a creative fusion of flavors accompanied by impeccable service, allow me to shed light on the equally delightful breakfast experience. The difference lies in the careful curation of top-notch ingredients. Unlike breakfast joints that churn out mass-produced meals with subpar ingredients, Apartıman prides itself on serving only the finest jams, olives, and cheeses. And let's not forget the service, which remains consistently exceptional. Be prepared for bustling mornings at Apartıman, as it tends to draw quite the crowd. Arrive early or be prepared to wait for a table - but trust me, it's worth every delicious moment.

Photos i have taken wouldnt do the justice so i included the cutie. Such a treat! Well curated menu - traditional spring summer mediterranean home dishes are delicately touched to refine. Elegant presentation, well sized portions make a perfect sharing table for 3-4 people. Attentive, well groomed staff - creative cocktails… perfect venue to catch up with friends and family.

I mean, what can I say. I tried Michelin restaurants before. Although I do really appreciate the effort by making the menu quite different, it was not possible to get some guidance from the waiters on how to pair different plates and also with different wine or cocktails. Most of the starters were tailored for vegans/vegetarians as they were heavily on vegetables with limited interpretation of common plates, as you would guess. Unfortunately, I had a tiny bit of black hair from my potato chips (maybe from the vinegar sauce or maybe the dish itself) which I didn't want to make a big scene since I was the one who took my friends there... but i couldn't force them to stay more, and we didn't even order the mains. It was quite disappointing... Perhaps it is best to go just to try their cocktails as my friend liked their martini.

We tried four different cocktails here and especially loved the pisco sour. Great advice, thank you for that. The foods are also very delicious, but could be less aromatic. I’m still thinking about the other options in the menu, hopefully for the next time though 😅 I especially want to thank to the waiters, they are the most friendly people I’ve ever seen. Had 3 appetizers and 4 different cocktails, costed 3.300 liras including the service fee.

I am delighted to write this review for Apartman offering not just a meal but a memory. Newly Michelin recommended (if you ask me it deserves a star), helmed by a visionary female chef Burcak Kazdal, is one such treasure—an intimate haven where the art of seasonal, sustainable cooking takes center stage. Prior to my several visits I read about her in the New York times article featuring female chefs of Istanbul. Her menu evolves with the seasons: a love letter to local farms and the region’s bounty. The chef’s dedication to sustainability shines through every dish with ingredients sourced from nearby growers and even the restaurant's own farm, which supplies exquisite cheeses (a local mancego) that can easily rival the finest from across the globe. The starters, each a masterpiece of simplicity and precision, set the tone for what’s to come. Among them my all time favorites are the eggplant, green tomatoes, halhali olives and the cauliflower. The main dish I ordered and inhaled was the tripe and lamb trotter stew a dish that balances bold flavors delicately elevating familiar ingredients to extraordinary heights. You may wonder how I managed to have desert after eating both the starters and the main but the chef thought about that before me. The sublime key lime pie almost posing as a digestif showcasing the chef's ability to transform even the simplest components into moments of culinary poetry. If you are a dedicated foodie or someone looking for an unforgettable dining experience, this restaurant is an absolute must-visit.

Exquisite service and really good wine. As a restaurant owner, it was delightful to see people working in harmony with lots of kindness to the clients… Great place to have fine dining or just having a glass of wine. Plus, I am vegetarian and they have great options. Bravo 👏

Loved this place. Tried it for the first time today. Lots of vegan or customizable vegan dishes. Really helpful knowledgeable waiter. 5/5. Would for sure come back.

Very cosy place, service is very friendly. The owners are around and helping. The menu changes quite oftrn with creative additions eaach time. Prices are definitely ok, worth what yoo get

We came here for my birthday. Though we often come to Yenikoy we had never seen the place before and we wanted to try something new. First things first: you will need reservations if you are coming here for dinner on a weekend. The ambience is quite nice however I'd ask for a table on the upper floors. We were seated at the ground floor and it was a tad stuffy. The service is good, the servers are very helpful and friendly. They will explain the menu and help you choose. We ordered the fish salad for starters and what we got was fish and some salad on the side. It tasted good, especially the fish but it's not really a salad. They were nice enough to add some extra greens for us. I had the duck gyosa and my girlfriend ordered the crevettes. The presentation was good and the taste was ok, not exceptional but ok. Their house dessert is apartiman cake and I think you can find better desserts Zeynel next door. Overall I think it is a nice place to try but a bit pricey.
