Vegan Restaurants in Istanbul
Istanbul's vegan scene has grown significantly in recent years. Kadikoy on the Asian side and Cihangir in Beyoglu are hotspots for dedicated vegan restaurants and plant-based cafes. Turkish cuisine naturally includes many vegan-friendly dishes like mercimek corbasi (lentil soup), piyaz, and various meze dishes.
