A True Insider’s Guide to Eating, Drinking, and Staying in Istanbul

"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

Türkiye: Dishes with Perfect Wine Pairings, Foxy Nişantaşı and Vino Locale

"Opened in 2019 by wine expert Levon Bağış and chef Maksut Aşkar of One Michelin-starred Neolokal, this wine‑centric spot builds the entire experience around pairings: tasting‑size dishes and even tasting pours encourage trying multiple combinations from a cellar of 200+ bottles, with at least one matching dish for every wine and several wines for each dish. The defining focus is local Turkish grapes—Misket, Narince, Öküzgözü, Foça Karası, Keten Gömlek, Boğazkere, Sultaniye—served exclusively from local producers, guided by the mission to unite local grapes with local cuisine. It reminds you that mezes often associated with rakı also sing with wine—think lakerda with a good white, or topik and hummus with a good red—while offering both classic Turkish coupages like Öküzgözü‑Boğazkere and newer expressions such as pet‑nat and natural wines. If you have to choose just one place to try wine in Istanbul, whether newcomer or connoisseur, this is the perfect place." - The MICHELIN Guide

We were seated without a reservation and were told we had only an hour, but the staff handled it politely. We still enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine and a cheese selection, and everything was very good. The atmosphere is warm and stylish, and the service was friendly. The only downside is that people smoke, which was quite uncomfortable. Overall, it’s a nice spot for a relaxed drink and well-prepared small bites in Nişantaşı.

Foxy Nişantaşı has a great wine selection. The dishes are designed to support the wine and make the experience more enjoyable. Prices are reasonable. The staff is kind, attentive and very knowledgeable about the products they serve. A solid spot for anyone who wants to enjoy good wine with good food.

Really cool restaurant serving delicious food. Was really impressed with how good some of the dishes were - we loved the steak tartar with the Russian potato salad and ADORED the aubergine. Really a must get. Couscous with mushrooms was good too. People complain about the portion size but what we ordered was reasonably sized given the prize and the vibe of the restaurant. Great wine list - definitely recommend. Dessert was the only thing we were a little on the fence about but otherwise amazing experience.

A great little place to have quality food and drink, the staff is very friendly and attentive, the potions were very reasonable for the price and the taste was delicious. If you are planning an evening meal better make a reservation since the place is quite busy in the afternoon.

The food was great, but the service was not as good, they were pretty unattentive. They offer a diverse selection of Turkish wines.

This is a fantastically duo of chef and sommelier! Like to the moon and back! The cuisine is amazing and very full of taste; the wines are selected the way I like them — with attention, love and understanding. It was an interesting gastronomic journey for me and my family. I will warn you right away that if you do not like wine pairing, do not understand or do not like haute cuisine (or do not watch Chef Ramsay in the evenings 😁))), you may not like the price and portion size. This is a gourmet place in a good way. This is an adventure into tastes, not a place for a snack or a simple inexpensive dinner. My octopus was heavenly; the reimagined balık ekmek puts a new spin on bread and fish; the pasta is so full of fish flavour it's just wow. Huge thanks to the owners, chef, sommelier and wonderful staff! You are awesome ❤️

I have to say my expectations were completely exceeded, the food was excellent with a special spiciness, great. An exceptional wine list, the two guys who served us know their trade, we had great white wine and a fantastic red wine from Turkey. We will come back here again

If you are a cat lover, you would love this place. We were enjoying different platters with the cute cats around us. Very tasty food specially the hummus, personally I enjoyed the savory dishes more than the sweet ones. Very slow service we needed to wait ages for the food. Slightly expensive for the portions but still a good quality.
