21 Cihangir

Relaxed daytime selections support conversation, becoming louder and more rhythmic with evening crowds. Music accompanies food, drinks and bar service rather than a fixed live stage program.

The street facing Cihangir setting is easygoing and bohemian by day, more social and lively as the evening fills up. There is a natural shift from quiet cafe to active bar.

An all day venue combining burgers, handmade pasta and sharing plates with cocktails, open from morning into the late night. Its long hours accommodate different ways of visiting.

Urban adults looking for food or coffee during the day and cocktails and street side socializing in the evening.

Comfortable but considered clothes work from daytime dining through evening cocktails in Cihangir.

21 Cihangir is beloved for its warm atmosphere—where locals seem to know one another—as well as the care shown to cats and the genuine hospitality. While the fettuccine, menemen, tea, and especially the chocolate cake receive praise, it is also a great spot to stop by for cocktails and coffee. Although the bustle adds to the venue's energy, service can sometimes falter; issues reported include the menu arriving late, the main course taking a long time to be served, and appetizers and main dishes being brought out simultaneously. Recently, there have been instances of overly salty burgers, meat lacking freshness, and food arriving cold. The kitchen is a safer bet during quieter hours.
