Vegetarian Restaurants in Istanbul

While Turkish cuisine centres heavily on meat, Istanbul has a growing vegetarian dining scene. Traditional Turkish meze like dolma, imam bayildi, and borek offer naturally vegetarian options, and dedicated vegetarian restaurants can be found in Kadikoy and Beyoglu. Menu Score helps you identify venues with genuine vegetarian offerings versus those that simply remove meat from meat-heavy dishes.
