Big Chefs

Big Chefs’ menu is a little better than other bistro franchises. But I always find them more sloppy in terms of service. And of course they are overpriced for the quality they have, just like others.
What special about this location is it’s view. Very big terrace just by the Bosphorus, with a lovely view of Bebek area. Wonderful!!!
But it’s also one of the most popular (natural with such a view), and you’ll barely get to sit by the Bosphorus anyway. I’ve been there 30+ times and sit by the water just once. And I’m sure I’m turned down at door at least 50 times because they have no tables to offer (I live very close).
If you are sitting on 5^th row, you won’t get to see that view anyway. So you’ll just end up with busy, sloppy and sometimes even rude service. Food is ok, don’t taste great, it’s just expensive fast food. But at least they have a large selection in menu.
So if they sit you in a good table with a view don’t miss it. But if all good tables are taken just skip this place and go one of the better restaurants by the river just 200m ahead.

Excellent location (near bosbhorus 2. Bridge), delicious beefs and deserts (especially Banana Split should be tasted), no park problem (has otopark), very stylish venue, clean and professional service. As a result, a bit expensive./ Mükemmel yeri (boğazin yanında 2. kopruyu goruyor), lezzetli biftek ve tatlılar (özellikle Banana Split tatlısı tadilmali), park problemi yok (kendi otoparkı ve ispark mevcut), cok şık bir mekan, temiz ve profesyonel servis. Sonuç olarak da biraz pahalı.

Fantastic atmosphere, nice view, delicious food. Large parking space. Very crowded on Friday nights.
