Tula İstanbul Cafe&Restaurant, Turkish restaurant in Pınartepe, Büyükçekmece, Turkey.
Tula İstanbul Cafe & Restaurant is a restaurant in the Pinartepe neighborhood of Büyükçekmece, with seating both indoors and on an outdoor terrace along the waterfront. The outdoor tables sit close to the shore, giving diners a direct view of the Marmara coastline.
The restaurant opened as the Büyükçekmece coastline along the Marmara Sea was gradually becoming a destination for dining and leisure. As the area developed, the spot grew in popularity among day-trippers and local residents alike.
The kitchen prepares traditional Turkish dishes such as mezze and grilled meats using time-honored recipes. Regional specialties from different parts of Turkey also appear on the menu.
The indoor area is comfortable in any weather, while the terrace fills up quickly on sunny days, so arriving early helps secure a waterfront table. The place accepts both cash and cards and stays open for extended hours on most days.
On weekends, the restaurant offers a breakfast buffet made mostly from local ingredients prepared in the traditional way. In designated sections of the outdoor area, guests can also smoke hookah.
