May Bistro Ortaköy

Patrick Williams Jul 2026

We stopped by late evening after afternoon rain and the seat cushions were wet and they gave no warning, so we started with getting our pants wet. My chicken salad was fresh, as was the eggplant dip, but it came with 12-hour old whole wheat baguette....not warm, not toasted. We asked for pita or Turkish bread instead (and said we would pay extra) but were told there were no other breads available. Then 10 minutes later they serve flat bread to the next table over. Finally, the margarita was not a margarita that either of us recognized. Low quality liquor with some green food coloring squirted into the bottom; barely passed as a cocktail and expensive. Given the options all around, we should have avoided and would never go back.
