It left enough of an impression that I'm still thinking about my time at this restaurant. I highly advocate the Papyon Special. The staff were exceptionally polite and friendly.

Begun as an all-day eatery to rave reviews, a limited menu and high prices doing little to slow demand even now, it is with reservations that guests are invited to sit indoors or outside at small tables tended to by fairly bassic service. Visited just after opening, all seats quickly filled by tourists and business persons alike, Brunch was underway with house-filtered water plus a Cinnamon Roll slightly larger and less decadent than the one from Esben's 3* flagship 12-hours prior. Bistro in its offerings, griddled Toast offered with Butter alongside creamy Eggs and a touch of Pepper, The Vandelay's Sausage arrives with a heterogeneous grind and plenty of snap surrounding juicy Pork. Not about to miss The Vandelay Burger, well-aged and nicely seared beneath Bacon, Onions, Cheddar and Dill Mayo, one might argue that a Bun besides Brioche is better suited for all the juiciness but it would be hard for anyone to fault crispy salted Fries or a daily Sundae featuring just-churned Vanilla Softeis beneath Hazelnuts and Caramel tinged in Coffee.

I showed up solo for lunch, no rezzy.. Ole girl was about to turn me away because they were fully booked - but offered me the bar seating - which of course I took. I am typically a pro at hitting the money spots (no reservations, etc...) and making it work.. You gotta know how to be slick with the timing, read the room, have the right attitude, get up... all those thAngys... Posted up to the bar, made friends w/ the bartender (William) whom was great.. They were real snappy w/ the service & whole operation.. Good tunes playing on the juke bock (mostly all American music) The food was excellent.. I had the cheeseburger & fries, but everything looked fantastic. Yes; I would go back. And yes; I would absolutely recommend.. If you dont have a reservation and have a small party (1 or 2), use my tactics & ule probably b successful!!!

They do not take walk-ins, even when open tables exist, which is disappointing especially for guests staying in the Amerikalinjen hotel looking for a last-minute bite to eat.

We were staying in this neighborhood overnight before flying out early in the morning and got really lucky. This place wasn't even that busy, which was surprising, because it was really really good and reasonably priced. I had a mixed plate of grilled meats, all of which were super delicious.... I literally ate everything on the plate. The husband had some pasta, that was decent, but this isn't really a pasta place ... They also serve awesome bread and dips to start, yummmm. We had an apple cake for dessert that was also fairly decent. I hadn't had Turkish food before, So I was very pleasantly surprised. I would highly recommend it!
