| Last reviewed: Mar 2026 Chef-owner Civan Er has built a Beyoğlu institution with his modern take on Anatolian cuisine. The veteran wood-fired oven anchors a kitchen that reimagines Turkish recipes with seasonal ingredients and contemporary technique. Minimalist in design but maximalist in flavor, Yeni Lokanta embodies the new Turkish kitchen movement.

A Beyoğlu stalwart. Civan Er's wood-fired oven produces some of the most honest modern Turkish cooking in the city.
