The combination of Avenue’s location in the heart of Nişantaşı and its décor can seem a bit intimidating at first, but after spending some time inside, we were delighted by the friendly demeanour and attentiveness of the staff. Here, talented chef Abdullah Tayhan, who’s previously worked at the likes of Nobu and Armani Café, presents a menu packed full of fusion dishes from around the world. Lunch at Avenue will average out to around 50 TL per person, so come prepared.
Avenue organises special events as well as themed parties, like Turkish music on Thursdays and pre-dinner happy hour on Saturdays. To get acquainted, we recommend stopping by for their Sunday brunch.
