Lipsos Restaurant

The scheduled upstairs area may have fasıl music and live entertainment, while another area may play quieter meyhane music. Floor arrangements and programs are not necessarily the same every night, so say which experience you want when booking.

Downstairs is more focused on eating and conversation; the programmed floor can be livelier with violin, clarinet and darbuka. As music builds, table talk may turn into group entertainment and dancing.

Fresh fish, Aegean and Mediterranean meze, and seafood in a meyhane with dining and entertainment arrangements that vary by floor. Food and scheduled entertainment can share one evening.

Couples looking for a quieter rakı and fish dinner, and friend groups seeking live fasıl music and dancing; the sections offer both options.

Comfortable, considered evening clothes work for either a calm fish dinner or scheduled entertainment.

Lipsos Restaurant is a lively establishment in Nevizade that brings tourists and locals together at the same tables, focusing on fish and grilled dishes. Many visitors return thanks to the friendly service and complimentary fruit, with staff members Ercan and Yakup specifically noted for their attentive care. On the downside, some diners have been dissatisfied with repetitive small plates, a heavy smell of cigarette smoke, and lackluster starters. Issues such as being seated at a table with strangers despite empty tables being available, receiving an incorrect high bill, or being ignored at the entrance—while rare—are significant concerns.
