While there are both indoor and outdoor seating areas, the outdoor seating has my vote as it is right up against the edge of the water, and it's such a lovely experience in the daytime. We were seated quickly and the servers were very hospitable throughout our breakfast. The two-person platter that filled the entirety of our table was very filling and a great choice to get a little bit of everything. Altogether, the food was of okay quality, the variety definitely took it up a notch and fit the ambiance of the location. For me, the latte was not anything particularly special. If you're visiting Ortaköy, it's a great idea to stop by here for breakfast or brunch.

Food is nothing out of the ordinary but high quality is always maintained. Service is generally very friendly and servers are knowledgeable. Good spot to go with the toddler, fairly family friendly.

The restaurant is in one of the touristy market areas and sitting outside provided good opportunities to people and cat watch. Despite the joys of eating outside. Next time, I would choose to sit inside. The heat lamp got to be overwhelming and the inside of the restaurant was super cute. Our waiter did a good job, but was confused that we were splitting a soup. I don't blame him... The negatives: The bathrooms are downstairs and there was no toilet paper.

We ordered a few different plates, and had to wait a bit, but the food was excellent. Giving it 4 stars because they messed up and brought some dishes by accident that we didn't order and there was some weird tax on the check that other restaurants didn't throw in (or not as much).

It reminds the cote of…read morearms of old times and asking yourself " Do they use five different knives when they prepare the meats? ". None of them is the right answer. Beş Bıçak Steakhosue is a meart heaven founded by 5 tough young men. The venue is located very far from us and center of Istanbul. When we asked the reason of this they told us there are not any venue in this region with a right taste and quality and that region needs a qualified venue. They have preferred to become the biggest in a small area instead of becoming a small option in a big region. The venue has been designed exactly as steakhouse concept. The inside area was very chic. They have a wooden bull head work with tide effect on the ceiling which we have not seen like that before. Dry aged meats were demonstrating in a nice fridge. Grill section was in a visible area but they do not bother you in sitting area. You can easily watch the how they cook the meats. We tried a lot of kinds as small portions on the evening of we went. Starters and warm starters; Zahter salad: It was a salad kind that we have never met in any steakhouse before. Its taste was balanced nicely. It was successful and very matching with the meats. We completly finished the salad plates. Smoked beef with cheddar sauce: They are preparing in a hot pot in front of you. Thanks to the taste of cheddar cheese we cleaned up our plates. They should decrease only the level of salt. B&B sausage with halloumi: The sausage prepared by themselves was delicious. Grilled oyster mushroom: It is a common taste for many steakhouses. They cooked it in a juicy and tasty way in here. It was the best one among the we have eaten before. As main course; Lokum: It was very soft like its name. We finished it in a short time. B&B Beef Special: They were the meats like döner cooked very shortly in the grill. Thin cut meat lovers will definetly love it. Dry aged entrecote: It was the most successful meat kind among serving ones. Its consistency and fattiness was superb. It should become the first choice. B&B Lamb Special: Grilled back meat of lamb are slicing and braising with fat in hot casserole. We loved the presentation and the taste as lamb lovers. Lamb Shoulder Tandoori: #tandooriislife. Its taste and consistency were perfect. We totally cleaned up it. You must watch the moment of extracting the bones from meat. B&B Burger: Its fattiness, taste of the meat, made from minced meat without sinewy, its breas and its sides. It was a wonderful burger with its everything. We ate local pistachio flaky pastry with icecream as dessert. Its taste was successful but it should be harder. It was softened a bit because of icecream. If they serve the icecream in a seperate cup it would be better. Service was successful, prices were affordable, ambiance was nice and also taste was good. If its location is appropriate for you there is no reason not to visit here. Do not miss their signature products starting with B&B.
