EDITOR'S REVIEW
With a 4.2 review rating, Phaeton Restaurant is a quality restaurant on Kadıköy's waterfront, distinguished by its historic character, authentic atmosphere and successful Rum and Armenian meze. Unlike loud new-generation meyhanes, it is one of Kadıköy's warmest classic venues with a distinct spirit for those who want a nostalgic journey into the past and long conversations with close friends.
WHO IT SUITS
A good choice for those who want to taste quality, multicultural traditional meze amid historic surroundings and feel the spirit of the past. It appeals to guests seeking a pleasant, quiet, nostalgic evening listening to Rum and Turkish melodies instead of loud electronic music.
HIGHLIGHTS
Its greatest strength is a rich, tasty and unusual meze menu blending Rum, Armenian and Circassian traditions. Its central location close to the Kadıköy ferry pier and waterfront also makes it very easy to reach.
NOTE
Although recorded as Phaeton, the venue usually appears as Fayton Restaurant on its sign and in digital listings; using that name when finding or booking it is helpful. Unlike other days, on Sundays it opens at 16.00 rather than at noon.
GETTING THERE
The venue is on Tayyareci Sami Sokak off Rıhtım Caddesi in Osmanağa Mahallesi, at the heart of Kadıköy. From the Kadıköy ferry piers or Kadıköy metro station, it is an easy walk of just 3–5 minutes along the waterfront.
