Beymen Brasserie

Beymen Brasserie has been the lunch the Nişantaşı shopping day organises itself around since 2003 — French brasserie classics on Abdi İpekçi Caddesi, with the dependable service the room has been trained for. The menu runs from onion soup to the Café de Paris steak through king crab salad and the more international plates the regulars order without reading.

Reserve the corner banquette for lunch on a shopping Saturday, take a single course and a glass, and resume the afternoon at Vakko. The terrace works through the warm months; the indoor room is the calmer winter version.
