Parole Cafe | Restaurant

What a beautiful resto-cafe!! The food is absolutely delicious!! Who loves fajita, DON’T MISS IT, the combo fajita, it comes half chicken half beef and i recommend the burgers as well!!
Location is perfect, if you coming from Taksim square and can’t be bothered walking, just take the metro to şişhane. Atmosphere is amazing and the service is great. I had great experience there.

Istanbul was my destination for six days, and I regret not discovering this fantastic cafe restaurant near my hotel until the last two days of my trip. The restaurant's cozy ambiance, quick service, and respectful staff are some of its standout features. I visited the restaurant for the first time at midnight, craving a peaceful atmosphere, and the lighting and music were perfect. The staff leave me alone to make me feel comfortable.The food quality and taste were exceptional, and the presentation was beautiful. I highly recommend trying the "chicken gratin with mushroom" and "meat wrap", which were both incredibly delicious. Even the side dishes of "mashed potatoes" and "garden salad" were a delight to the taste buds.

It’s not a traditional Turkish restaurant, European food . I’ve been there several times and food is okay’ish, coffee is smth between middle , sweets - better to pass that , ordered a cheesecake and it wasn’t anything like a cheesecake.

Very delicious appetizer and meal. The Turkish dish was a bit bland, but still very enjoyable with the provided sauces. The burgers and other meat dish were spot on! Lovely atmosphere; there are 3 floors here. Staff was attentive without being overbearing 🥰

Best espresso coffee in Taksim. Me and my family had coffees every morning here during our stay in Istanbul. The waitress is very kind and helpful also. A sweet memory from my mornings in Istanbul.

I think that a good restaurant does not need a man to invite you in. This is the case of the Parole restaurant. We came across it by chance, without anyone inviting us in an annoying way. Just by reading the menu at the entrance and conquering us through pictures and prices. The food was so delicious that we came back every day for 5 days...we simply ate so well that we didn't need to look for another restaurant. Congratulations!

We Came to Parole restaurant tonight for dinner
We got Chicken gratin with mushroom and Chicken fillet with curry sauce. Both were really good especially the chicken gratin.

A very relaxing environment. Soft music accompanies your delicious food. The stuff is very friendly and helpful. A wonderful place that easily can visit again, and again, and again...

The restaurant is very good. Fast service, our food was delivered within 15 min after we ordered and both dishes (of different complexity) arrived at the same time. Staff was polite, friendly, respectful of the privacy. The food… was delicious both: sea bass and lamb of a very good quality. Meet was tender and soft. We recommend!

Amazing food, very well cooked and attention to detail is very good.
The staff go out of their way to make you comfortable.
Came here 5 years ago and it is as good as I remember if not better.
Definitely worth a visit.

I had the pleasure of dining at Parole Restaurant, located on Istiklal Street, and it was a great experience. The restaurant is conveniently situated on the lively thoroughfare, making it easily accessible. The ambiance was warm and inviting, and the staff were fluent in English and very welcoming. The menu was available in English and offered an amazing selection of affordable international dishes to choose from. In addition to the delicious food, they also offered an extensive drinks menu that included a variety of wines and cold beers. Whether you prefer indoor or outdoor seating, Parole Restaurant is definitely worth paying a visit. I highly recommend it and I look forward to going back again.

Great place with very good food and friendly, helpful staff. Every time I am in Istanbul, I come back.

Great place to dine in. The atmosphere was awesome. You can sit inside, but it is a bit hot, outside is fantastic and yiu can watch people passing by. The prices were fair. The staff were friendly. I think it was one of the most crowded cafe restaurant in the street, which shows the perfornance.

Great place to begin your day with fantastic breakfast food. 10/10 👌🏼

The food is average but the staff are nice. Prices are acceptable. Draft beer is good and cold. Worth a shot.

The staff is very friendly and professional, the food is very good and the atmosphere is great

I went there with my family for lunch. We ordered a burger and a pizza, and both were great and delicious. The place was well-designed and cozy. The meals were ready on time. The waiters were friendly.

This cafe was below our place of stay. Suriye Pasaji. Good setting but nothing out of world if I have to compare the other places in Istiklal Caddesi. There are three levels, you can get to sit in the upper level balcony, outside on the alley side or inside. Comfortable.

Turnaround timing for the orders are decent. Lovely dishes. Loved all the items we ordered. Good portion sizes and the drinks are good as well. Must try the yogurt based kebab.

Beyond expectations… my dish was amazing, the taste and texture was amazing
Service was great and the atmosphere was pleasant and perfect
100% recommend

Amazing place!!! Just simply perfect for those who is a bit tired of kebab. We took Cheeseburger, Fajitas and chicken with gratin and mushrooms sauce and ALL was delicious 🤤
