Nice Lunch Spot near Galata Tower - Edit
They have a nicely priced lunch menu with two veg (falafel and a mixed veg) and many non-veg wrap options. Great portion size, and good price too!
Read moreForgot to ask if the falafel wrap was vegan, but didn't notice any yoghurt or cheese myself.
Staff was very friendly and wonderful! Complete with tea and baklava!
Small spot, with unfortunately no Internet inside. But the outside tables have a beautiful view!

Separate vegan menu, lovely staff - Edit
Food was delicious and well priced - I had the falafal and shared the mezze with husband (who had a meat dish). Staff were really friendly and the view was lush - we sat on the street in front of the Galata tower!
Read moreSeparate vegan menu which after over 2 weeks in turkey this was the first place I've been with a separate vegan menu (not just vegetarian).
Pros: Food, View, Staff

Lovely terrace with scenic view - Edit
Seperate vegan menu, just mention that you are vegan upfront. Staff speaks english very well. Had the wrap with vegetables on their terrace and I had the best moment ever. The food is nice and fair priced, but the staff is what made this place so special: I ended up talking with the server throughout all my meal. Would 100% recommend to stop by and have a bite in this lovely restaurant.

Great flavours and good choices - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu. From it I had the Turkish mezze plate which had lovely tasting dips and a good ratio of bread to dips. For the main I had the vegetable casserole which was very rich and quite salty in flavour though I did enjoy this. It was fairly expensive but given the location it’s somewhat understandable and worth a visit if you’re in the area.

Tasty meal in pretty air conditioned restaurant - Edit
The vegan menu is extensive and everything was delicious! We had a mixed plate and the tofu curry (4 pieces of beautifully cooked tofu on top of a fried rice curry flavoured.

Fabulous little gem on the doorstep of Galata Tower - Edit
Tucked away on a side street, a minutes stroll from Galata Tower. A few tables outside, more inside with AC. Separate Vegan menu. Service fabulous, reasonably priced too.

Not worth it - Edit
I basically paid 12€ for steamed cauliflower, carrot and courgette. There were supposed to have chickpeas but there were none. I am really confused as to why this was advertised as a main course and priced so much.

Okay food near galata tower - Edit
Very few vegan options. I went for the mezze plater and it was just ok, nothing really exciting or flavorful, compared to other spots in Istanbul it had only 5 small dishes and price was high for what it was (480tl, around ~£8 about $10)
Read moreI would personally not go back as it was nothing special.
The guys working there were nice so that’s a plus.

Tofu curry - Edit
Had padron peppers to start, followed by tofu curry, this could do with a bit more sauce & perhaps more than 4 cubes of tofu. Although it was very tasty

Great find in bustling tourist spot - Edit
This is a gem of a place located under the shadow of the Galata Tower. It has a dedicated vegan menu but also serves carnivore meals. The mezze platter was varied and delicious and the fitness salad was fresh and tangy. A main meal of spaghetti bolognese was delicious and filling. A couple of aperol spritz on the side and this was a meal to remember. The kerbside dining is just that and you get a great feel for the happening neighbourhood. Top spot.

Salads were nice - Edit
Got two salads to share and the veg-tofu curry. The salads were really great. The veg curry was tasty, but it was just curried rice with 4 pieces of tofu on top. Wouldn't really call it a curry. Service was really really great, and the food was good

Gálata Lily Cafe - Edit
I was pleasantly surprised to see that they had an entire vegan menu. They had several different options and the food was absolutely amazing! I tried the falafel starter which was so, so good and the fitness salad which was alright. I ordered their veggie couscous which was so flavorful and tasty. The restaurant itself is quite small but the servers are very kind and it’s right next to the Golata tower so perfect location. Definitely recommend!

Loved it - Edit
Using the App, I tracked down this restaurant. It was just off the Main Street- didn’t look like much - but it was full of locals. There was a dedicated vegan menu and the fish I chose was unbelievably good. My wife (non-vegan) tasted it and she thought it was meat. I actually checked with the manager to make sure and he promptly assured me it was all vegetable based protein. It was a hit

Definitely good for this location - Edit
The restaurant is quite expensive, but still fine for this great location. They have a separate vegan card. I order falafel with tahini, the side salad was good with fresh herbs, the falafel were okey but nothing spaciel. Although the service were very polite and you could order many flavors of tea.
