Agapia Mezze & Meyhane
50 varieties of mezze in a 120-year-old building facing Sureyya Opera
Reviewed by Mes Prestiges Editorial Team Last reviewed April 2026
A new-generation meyhane housed in a 120-year-old building near the Süreyya Opera House, Agapia offers 50 varieties of mezze blending Rum culinary traditions with contemporary Turkish tavern culture. The historic architecture and opera-house views create an atmosphere that elevates the meyhane experience without losing its soul.
Editor's Tip
Reserve a window table on the upper floor for the Sureyya Opera facade — the building's history matters here more than any specific dish. Order the rakı setup with three or four cold mezes (Rum-style enginar, midye dolma, lakerda) before any hot plate; the kitchen gets ambitious where it shouldn't. Avoid Friday-Saturday after 22:00 unless you want a meyhane chorus next to your table.
