"The best in Istanbul"   My Rating
1 xJasperx	Posted on: Wednesday, August 05, 2009
	Review: My girlfriend and I were in Istanbul for a week and ate here most of the time. We tried other restaurants too and though some were good the number of options and variance in the food at Parsifal made it our favorite. The staff is very friendly and proficient enough in English. The food itself was delicious, as was the free olive bread. All in all a great place to eat.   Pros: Vegan options * Friendly staff * Lots of choices Cons: Vegan dishes sometimes contain yoghurt * *

"Good place to chill"   My Rating
76 Jemima	Posted on: Friday, July 24, 2009
	Review: It has a big awning with a few tables under it on pleasant Kurabiye Sokak. Inside it reaches back quite far with yellow walls hung with lots of pictures/ photographs. When I took a look at the pictures they were an odd mix, some showing heritage shots from other parts of the world, others animals.. There is wifi and the general atmosphere is calm and pleasant and is good for chilling. The menu is fairly extensive with different vegetarian standbys including a couple of Chinese styled dishes such as stir fry. First I had bread with olive oil. The mustard seed and olive bread was especially good. I had the artichoke salad which came without the dressing listed on the menu. It was made up largely of iceberg lettuce. Very plain tasting. They have an enticing list of fresh juices but they were out of most of them except for the basics such as orange. This seemed strange as the fruits were in season. They had plum juice though and it was really yummy. The food was basic so that it made it definitely expensive at between YTL15-20   Pros: chilled space with wifi * central * Cons: food * *

"Less good than anticipated"   My Rating

	Review: After having read the reviews here, we looked really forward to visit this reataurant, but were somewhat disappointed by the taste of the food. It is a relieve to find one place in Istanbul that serves vegetarian food, but in fact the made for us vegetarian options in the non-vegetarian places had much more taste than this one.   Pros: * * Cons: * *

"Nice vegetarian and vegan selection"   My Rating
21 sarahsvati	Posted on: Monday, January 19, 2009
	Review: This restaurant is still called 'Parsifal' and is still 100% vegetarian. I'm not sure what the previous reviewer was talking about. The menu is written in English and Turkish and about 1/3 of the items are vegan. I recommend trying the more traditional Turkish dishes like chard dolma and veggies baked in a clay pot. Entrees run about 12 TL maximum. I enjoyed Parsifal. It's a great vegetarian oasis in an often meat-centric Istanbul.   Pros: Yummy, filling bread * Traditional Turkish dishes * Cons: Can be smoky * *

"New Name"   My Rating
GUEST	Posted on: Friday, June 01, 2007
	Review: The place has changed it's namee to CORE. They offer about 6 veggie dishes the rest is not veggie at all. The meal I had was the best of all the meals while in Istanbul. They have added entertainment, which was good, you will be charged 20ytl per peson. Recomend Pasta dish and home made veggie burger.   Pros: Good food * Great and helpful service * Recomended Cons: Everyone smokes ALWAYS * Entertainment fee *
