EDITOR'S REVIEW
Aralık Moda is a two floor neighborhood bar combining seasonal food with signature cocktails and wine. Its simple design and sharing plates offer an evening that gives both drinks and food attention.
Contemporary, restrained music complements the dim bar atmosphere; the pace can change for special events. No fixed stage schedule has been confirmed, so check current announcements if you are coming for an event.
Minimal design, low lighting and a small scale bring together Moda's relaxed feel with an intimate atmosphere that livens up in the evening. The close bar counter and dim light keep the focus on drinks and conversation.
Seasonal plates, creative meze, vegan options, cocktails and wine across a compact two floor bar and kitchen. Drink recipes and service are central.
Couples and small groups who appreciate sharing plates, cocktails and a calm design led atmosphere.
Comfortable, minimalist and considered smart casual clothes suit this small Moda cocktail bar.
Aralık Moda appeals to food enthusiasts with its bohemian and romantic décor, a creative menu that changes with the seasons, natural and orange wines, and solid cocktails. Its strengths lie in a variety of vegan and vegetarian starters, meticulous presentation, and a relaxed atmosphere. While the salmon-avocado and liver starters are well-liked, the lamb ribs, undercooked gnocchi, and cauliflower buried under sauce can be disappointing. Service issues include forgotten starters resulting in main courses arriving first, and long waits between dishes. The menu is bold, though the kitchen and service do not always maintain the same level of care every evening.

HIGHLIGHTS
A seasonally changing kitchen and sharing plates, cocktails and wine alongside vegan options, and a central spot on Moda's walkable food and drink route.
NOTE
The seasonal menu means a particular plate or cocktail may not always be available. Booking ahead is safer on Fridays, Saturdays and for small groups.
