Charm

Charm Bistro

Arjantin Caddesi No: 6/A

Special dishes, signature cocktails, plenty of sparkle and furry friends…

With an atmosphere all its own, Charm is much more than an ordinary bistro.

A boutique restaurant, a spontaneous bar, a space for experiences waiting to be discovered.

Open every day except Monday from 16:00

Our cats

We share our inner garden with cats we rescued from the street.

  • In the inner garden, drinks are served only in lidded cups.
  • All our cats are vaccinated and microchipped.

Frequently asked questions

When are you open?

We are open Tuesday to Sunday from 16:00 to 00:30 and closed on Mondays. Our kitchen is open until 22:30 and last bar orders are at 00:00. Hours may change on event days, so please check our Instagram for updates.

How can I book a table?

You can call us on +90 534 454 12 88, send a WhatsApp message to the same number, or message @charm.bistro on Instagram. For weekends, we recommend booking in advance.

Do you have vegan, vegetarian or gluten-free options?

Our menu has vegetarian, vegan and lactose-free dishes. We can't offer gluten-free food, because we can't rule out cross-contamination in our kitchen, which matters if you have coeliac disease or a similar condition. If you only want to cut down on gluten, our team can suggest the dishes with the least. Please tell us about any allergy or special diet before you order.

I'm allergic to cats or not comfortable around them. Can I still come?

Of course. Our cats live only in their own enclosed inner garden, so you can enjoy the rest of the venue without encountering them. Just let us know when you arrive and we will find you the right table.

Should I worry about hygiene because of the cat garden?

Our cats live in the enclosed inner garden. We serve no food there, and drinks there come in lidded cups. The cats' litter area is separate, and only the team members who look after the cats go in. We clean and disinfect every surface and all equipment regularly, and our team is trained in hygiene rules. Most of our seating is outside the inner garden.

Can I eat in the inner garden?

The inner garden is our cats' space. For their comfort and for hygiene, drinks there are served in lidded cups. You are welcome to dine anywhere else in the venue.

Is it right for cats to live in an enclosed garden?

Cats are domestic animals, not wild animals like those in a zoo. Today their natural home is not the street or a park but a safe place that people look after. Life on the street is hard for a cat. We rescued our cats from the street; they are all vaccinated and microchipped, and they live safely and are loved in the inner garden.

Can I bring my pet?

We love pets too. To keep our cats at ease, we cannot allow pets indoors. When space allows, we are happy to welcome you and your pet on our front terrace, on a lead or in a carrier.

I found a cat on the street. Can you adopt it?

Unfortunately not. Every new cat needs health checks and quarantine, our inner garden has limited space, and getting cats used to each other takes time. We are not an animal charity; we can give a home to only a few cats on our own. For a cat you have found, please contact your municipality's veterinary services or an animal welfare group.

Where can I park?

The paid car park at Karum Mall is directly across the street. Parking on Arjantin Caddesi is not allowed, and we don't have valet parking.

How do I get there by public transport?

Buses and shared minibuses from Güvenpark stop nearby. Take the 114 or 304 to the Karum stop, a 5-minute walk from us. The 160 stops at Billur Sokak, 8 minutes away on foot; the 135, 413 and 408 stop at Kuğulu Park, about 10 minutes away.
