İkinci Bahar Restaurant

Traditional fasıl and musicians moving through the passage may be heard, but public sources do not establish a current fixed stage schedule. Groups expecting fasıl should ask when booking.

The old passage's bustle, close tables and roaming musicians create a nostalgic, crowded and participatory Beyoğlu atmosphere.

Cold meze, hot starters, meat and fish with rakı, offered à la carte or as set menus for different group sizes. The historic building contributes as much as the food.

Local and international adults seeking meze, rakı and traditional music in historic Beyoğlu.

Neat but everyday clothes such as shirts, dresses, jeans or smart trousers work in this relaxed historic passage; shoes suited to walking on İstiklal are useful.

İkinci Bahar Restaurant can be an enjoyable spot to soak up the nighttime atmosphere of Çiçek Pasajı and watch the passing crowds over a beer; guests often appreciate the fresh Turkish cuisine and friendly service. However, the downsides are significant. Common complaints include small, uninspired portions, a lack of vegetarian options, the absence of a non-smoking area, and loud music right at the table. Serious issues include clearing tables of guests who haven't ordered enough food, charging high prices for water and bread that were implied to be complimentary, and rude staff behavior. Even if you are visiting solely for the atmosphere of the arcade, it is wise to clarify the billing terms upfront.
