Mellow

Beyoğlu


A chilled-out spot befitting of its name, Mellow serves up some surprisingly innovative and very tasty food with Mediterranean influences, including a large selection of small plates for leisurely nibbling along with a bottle of wine. There’s a full bar and a streetside terrace from which you can watch the Cihangir scene go by.
