Visited in July 2025. Turkey 🇹🇷 Istanbul.
F&B Culture, nestled just a short stroll from the Galata Tower on a bustling tourist street, catches the eye with its cozy interior reminiscent of a classic English pub, blending charm with a touch of sophistication.
FOOD:
We stumbled upon this spot by chance, and one dish was so captivating that it brought us back three times. The menu marries Turkish flavors with a subtle European flair, offering a refreshing twist. Our standout was the white fish encased in crispy potato with a vibrant beetroot sauce—an exquisite balance of tender, juicy fish and perfectly crisp coating that left us in awe. The salmon, while decent, didn’t quite match the same magic, feeling a bit underwhelming by comparison.
SERVICE:
The service was warm and welcoming, in line with Turkey’s reputation for hospitality. The staff handled our orders with efficiency and a friendly demeanor, making the experience feel effortlessly pleasant.
VERDICT:
F&B Culture delivers a memorable dining experience with its unique take on Turkish cuisine and inviting, pub-like ambiance. Though it comes with a slightly steeper price tag than some local spots, the standout dishes make it a worthwhile stop for those exploring...

Read moreThis place is an absolute GEM.
To begin with, I had left my apartment for the 2nd night in a row late at night having forgotten to eat until too late and most places having closed their kitchens for the night.
Expecting yet another long walk around in search for food at midnight to no avail -such as the night before- I came across this place before I had even began my search. Turns out I just had to walk the other way right out of my apartment door and would have found this gem of a place.
When I asked if they were still serving, no hesitation, not even a flinch or a sigh, I was instead greeted with a smile.
Only 10 mins in and I had already begun feasting on fresh appetizers, mains, all the way to dessert and wine. Was also served a complimentary shot to top it off!
Owner was great, Service was great, Food was great, drinks, crowd, music, vibe, the whole shabang.
10/10 would recommend, would...
