Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We used to visit this place a lot before the pandemic but this was the first time we were back. Very rude welcome, the gentleman at the door (if you could call him one, with the beard and the tattoos) was very entitled and despite...there being 6 empty tables told us all was reserved even when a table emptied and was cleaned he wouldn’t let those waiting sit - saying they were all reserved. If this is the case then don’t tell us to wait - just say we are full and then the customer can leave. We asked if we could sit and then he can change our place, he had even tattooed the words “thank you for not changing tables” on his arm. When we saw that we realized that this charming restaurant had lost all its charmed so we left.More

Absolutely horrible! We asked to change tables in order to have a better view of the water and she said changing tables are not allowed. We spoke to her boss and she said it’s reserved. During our time in the restaurant no one sat on...the table. We asked to move to another and very rudely she said no changing tables. I don’t understand their concept and everyone seems to be making excuses. Honestly I am never coming back to this place because service is apart of the experience and we didn’t get any of that. If you want to interact with arrogant people then this place is for you.More

Tried to switch tables to better views. Empty tables around the whole place, but they refused, said it’s against policy to switch tables even though it’s empty, tried to talk to manager and the staff started to ignore us. Worst experience ever

While we were having some food and drinks, one of the employees took a chair from our table to block the secondary entrance door of the terrace. We were just sitting next to this door which was not supposed to be used (that's what the...employee told us!). Then a lady came in, while she was trying to pull the chair and open the door, we kindly told her that she is supposed to use the main door. She replied back with an 'interesting' arrogance "i am the owner of this place" then she slammed the door in our face. Terrible experience, hard to understand how come an owner can behave like this to the customers!?! We immediately asked for the check and left the place without finishing our food and drinks. Mangerie? Never again! There are so many other nice places in Istanbul with better quality & view.More

We called for a reservation. The woman who answered barely understands 2 words of English. After a real struggle of comprehension we were able to book a table for lunch. Once we got there, she tells us that our reservation is for an hour later....The manager or owner steps in immediately and completely turns us away in an extremely rude way! I have never been treated this way in my life! First of all, get someone who speaks english to take reservations! I mean hello we are in 2022!! Second , let me teach you how to handle such a situation! He could have seated us anywhere inside told us to have some drinks while waiting for our table to be ready specially that we told him that our hotel wasn’t near.! Horrible hospitality!! Never again!More

I love this place apart from the service. My third or fourth trip here. Make a booking. You won't get a seat otherwise. They are quite strict with this as seating is limited and they have spaced out the seating more with the pandemic so...there are even less tables. Tables are given for two hours but this is more than enough time. Their located in an affluent neighbourhood Bebek and the views of the Bosphorus are stunning. Brasserie like feel in the day and a sexy dim lighting restaurant / lounge in the evening. Love the minimal white wooden decor. Always very clean. Have your HES code or you can't go in. The terrace is nice to sit on but tables are close together. I even like sitting inside. You can still appreciate the views. Love the ambience and light music. Attracts a mainly young affluent crowd. The menu consists of Turkish and Modern Western cuisine from breakfast to salads, noodles, cakes and more! They are known for breakfast but I have tried various dishes and all are good. The tabbouleh with chicken and diet coca cola were perfect. The salad was a full of flavour and delicious. Generous and filling portion size. Did not even feel like I was eating a salad. Service is not great. Very snobbish apart from one girl who was friendly. Bebek is near Ortakoy so make a day or afternoon of it. Take a bus from Taksim Square which will take around forty five minutes but avoid rush hour. Although they are located on the main road, their not easy to see. Look for Nusr-Et Burger and there are some stairs next to it. Go to the top of these stairs and here you will find Mangerie!More

This restaurant used to be our favorite place in Istanbul whenever we visited. We reserved even though they make it impossible to reserve. When we arrived the manager was so stubborn about seating us at a normal table, rudely and inhospitably gave us one option...which was a low lounge couch area. After a long debate of explaining this inconveniently low lounge table didnt suit my elderly grandmother, the manager aggressively refused. Even after diners politely moved tables to make space for us the manager said “if you sit here I will not serve you”. This was a horrible experience, we will not be returning.More

Good place for breakfast, slightly on the expensive side. But this place comes with a view. It’s a nicely made place. I wish they can do something with the entrance. Not the best and comfortable one.

The place where the restaurant is situated is so far from all other places in Istanbul (being in Bebek). It was 40 minutes drive by taxi from Besiktas area. Food was ok but nothing special. The view of the river I must admit was nice...but you could only see it if you were sitting outside and freezing in cold. Another -huge- disadvantage was the waiting queue to get a table. We had to wait for about half an hour. I would not recommend this place for Istanbul since it is certainly not a place serving Turkish traditional cuisine, the interior could be the same in any other city in the world and spending more than an hour in taxi and another half hour waiting for a table means you just wasted half day for a brunch place similar to what you can get in your own hometown.More

The area is uptown chic, however for that style I have a preference for Nisantasi. Anyhow, it is a nice place, good view, always crowded, they don’t make reservations for breakfast or brunch. European food, hip and posh crowd. Not bad overall

Food was decent and waiters are nice. However, receptionist whose job is to manage the cue was quite rude. Had no idea about what service is, so the overall experience was not good at the outset.

It's a very simple place, but as usual in Istanbul, facing the sea and giving a charming moment. Very gorgeous. The food is very good. Very nice for young people, and perfect for a coffee or a dessert and discussions.
