"Raise a Glass in Moda When the crush of 14 million people (and what seems like an infinite number of rude taxi drivers) gets to you, Istanbul has a cure for what ails you: a peaceful ferry ride across the Bosphorus and a seat in the leafy garden at Viktor Levi wine house. The son of a fisherman, Viktor Levi started bringing back his favorite wines from the Aegean Islands more than a century ago, and his namesake restaurant, tucked into a side street in Moda in Kadiköy, now has more than a dozen house varietals, most under 100 lira. A meal by the fountain or inside the restored town house might inspire your own trip to Bozcaada, or just a return trip on the ferry."

We were looking for a place to dine and thank you to those who left reviews, we found this amazing place! In addition to the lovely staff, the food was amazing. If you are not familiar with the menu, staff will help you with details. The portions are big! The selection of wine and drinks is very complete, for all tastes. The restaurant is busy and that reflects in the overall ambiance. The dining experience was really good, we really enjoyed it.

Terrible place, terrible serving. Waiters are rude and mean, they not even allow you to walk. prices are really expensive and they don’t even have any authentic food as well. Worst place to be if you’re searching for a nice experience. Any other place in kadıköy servers much better from here.

Friday and without reservation and we still found a spot. Very special inside terrace, good cheese and wines. Atmosphere can be a bit noisy if its full but its a nice spot to come with friends or on a date.

Great date spot! My husband takes me here and we have a great time every time. Feels more European than Turkish. Perfect place to enjoy wine and snacks.

It's a fantastic place to drink wine and enjoy the environment, great services and friendly staff. The main dishes were priced relatively fairly although they had some room for improvements.

We ordered red and white wine both were tasting good. The yard is more beautiful than the upper floor but hard to find a table in the yard. Their service was great and their meals were also good 👍 Although the price of wine is a little high.

Excellent food location and service. This has a great garden space which is covered if the weather is bad or open in the summer. It's a great place to eat drink and has a wonderful garden which has to be seen to be fully appreciated.
The menu is great with lots of hot dishes and vegetarian options. Wine is all supplied by the owners and is great.
Good menu excellent service quality was very good and I would definitely recommend this place.

The place is shockingly big inside! Food was delicious, and service was impeccable. Despite it being the Saturday evening and it being packed with people, we were served everything very quickly, and all the staff was pleasant. Highly recommended for lovers of Italian food!
