Meze By Lemon Tree

It lives up to it's high rating. Food quality, flavour and presenation was superb. I felt the price was reasonable for the quality. The staff were attentive, informative and great to interact with.

It was a great way to finish our trip and I recommend it if you are in Istanbul.

It's hard to beat the meze at this place. Stick to the small cold and warm plates (avoid the large, main dishes) and you won't be disappointed. They bring you fresh bread for the small meze which is delicious. The cold plates are made fresh everyday and you choose what you want from the options that day. Highly recommended.

The restaurant is in front of thr Pera place hotel, it is small but with elegant and fancy environment.The dinner menu is amazing with 5 cold meze, one hot dish, 2 main dishes and a shared dessert. All the food are fresh and tasted. Thanks to this restaurant, we had an unforgettable night in Istanbul

The best meal I had in Istanbul, by far! Great combination of hot and cold mezze. All dishes are absolutely delicious and fresh. The restaurant is small with great vibes. Friendly and welcoming staff. Good value for money. I totally recommend it!

Had a great time eating here thanks to the food, atmosphere and service. First time trying mezes in Istanbul and we were glad we picked this place. Was able to get a table without a reservation at 6:45pm but some people were turned away later in the evening. We ordered our 6 mezes from the display and our favorites were the cerviche and chilli and capsicum cream that we really enjoyed on our bread. We also had the seabass with almonds and apricots which was delicious. Service was perfect and the waiters were always prompt.

Absolutely delicious. Had the degustation fixed menu: there was so much food and all of it delicious. Excellent service and those cold meze are to die for - I could have stopped there and been very happy. I had the monkfish stew as a main course and it was outstanding. Small restaurant, good vibes and would definitely return again.

This place is great, definitely go. We got the Mezze 1 menu, with a mix of warm and cold dishes. The cold Mezze are all brilliant, highlights included the fried zucchini, pesto beef brisket. The wine recommendation from the waiter was perfect. The warm Mezze (we had calamari and hommus) weren't as good as the cold Mezze. If I went again, we order a la carte and just get cold Mezze.

I've been to various local restaurants during my stay in Istanbul and this one was really my favourite! I loved the starters variation! They have a enough vegetarian options but for every fan of caramelised onions it is a must taste!👌🏽I would love to come back. The only thing negative is the noise from the street as it is situated next to a street with a lot of traffic.

Amazing food, very friendly and polite staff!

For sure it’ll be a regular go every time in İstanbul

Delicious food and attentive service. The restaurant is small, creating a welcoming and cosy atmosphere. A lovely place to spend a nigth out in the beautifully Istanbul. Really deserved a 5 star review.

Good restaurant and service! We took the second menu to share which was a little bit too much :)

Fantastic service. Delicious food. Sample the meze and get the hot hummus!

Super cute place and great service. Love the food and location is nice.

Fantastic small dishes, good atmosphere and very good service! Their kitchen is also open very late which is nice for us night birds. A culinary experience!

Super good food and absolutely friendly and fantastic owner; must go when in Istanbul

- we went every night for pre dinner starters

I am a serious foodie and the meal was outstanding. Best meal of my whole 2 week long trip!

My wife and I have been foodies for years, always chasing the best food in multiple cities around the world. Our tasting menu at Meze was our second favorite meal ever in terms of taste, value and the feeling it left us with. This is a must place to dine at in Istanbul. It's Michelin star quality and the service is top notch.

Would highly recommend. Small place but great atmosphere. From American perspective, good English speakers, and food/setup was easy. Even for American sizes, the small tasting menu was more than enough for two people. Good luck, will be back.
