Foxy is a chic little spot in Istanbul where you can dive into creative small plates and an impressive wine list while enjoying the company of cute cats.
"Local wine expert Levon Bağış and celebrity chef Maksut Aşkar are behind Foxy, an always-packed wine bar in the fashionable Nişantaşı neighborhood. The lengthy wine list celebrates native Anatolian grapes, and the small plates reflect Istanbul’s mosaic of cultures." - Anya von Bremzen
"Foxy" refers to the musty flavour of the Concord grape, but you may also take it as a description of this laid-back establishment. Indeed, chef Maksut Aşkar of the MICHELIN-starred Neolokal and wine specialist Levon Bağış have appointed a team here that understands their philosophy. Here, you can sip wonderful Turkish wines – from natural wines to classic appellations – and savour a fresh, modern and sophisticated take on local classics. For instance, a fresh sea bass tartare, cut à la minute, is combined with a tangy mayonnaise, croutons, grated bottarga, paprika, and subtly smoked beetroot. Prepare yourself for an explosion of flavours! Keep in mind that the menu is more extensive in the evening than at lunchtime." - Michelin Inspector
"In the evening, get a thorough introduction to the world of Turkish wines at Foxy Nişantaşı, currently the city’s coolest wine bar."
