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

Consiglio hummus e falafel (delle nuvolette saporite e leggere, fritte benissimo)

Innamorati!
Non possiamo mettere 5 stelle perché non interamente veg (e l'app non lo permette)
Pros: Falafel e hummus, casserole, Atmosfera rilassata all'interno, all'esterno Torre, Personale simpatico e professionale

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.

Great restaurant with a separate vegan menu (just ask). Lots of options, it was hard to pick! Waiters were knowledgeable about veganism. The atmosphere inside is really beautiful and made for a very special meal.

Lovely food, friendly service! - Edit
We enjoyed Galata Lily! The Turkish dishes on the vegan menu we’re excellent. Get the Mezze platter as a starter. 🤤 I wouldn’t say it’s wheelchair accessible though. On a pretty sloped street and steps to get in or out, including outdoor seating (to that point I wouldn’t say istanbul as a whole is very wheelchair accessible).

Cozy place, good food - Edit
They have a separate vegan menu with some good options. The place is cozy and outside tables have a stunning view. Though the options are mostly just veggies and other carbs so maybe not perfect for a proper meal since they don’t have protein rich vegan options. Anyway good for lunch or a quick bite.
