Meyhanee

Seafood, dips, herbs and spices are all heroes on the menu at Meyhanee, an authentic Turkish restaurant in the heart of Balmain.

This is not the doner kebab store that may come to mind when you think of Turkish cuisine. Instead, this restaurant specialises in the culinary art form of mezze spreads, with hot and cold, vegetarian and meat dishes all on offer.

Food is designed to be shared with friends and family, allowing you to sample as many of the dishes as possible. Sit back and relax as dishes like stuffed eggplant and octopus salad arrive at your table, oozing with flavour and served to you by staff who are just as passionate about your dining experience as you are.

This venue’s name stems from the word “meyhane”, meaning “house of wine”, and so it’s no surprise that the drinks list here is incredibly comprehensive. As well as many delicious wines sourced from vineyards around the world, Meyhanee serves raki, a traditional spirit found in the Turkish meyhanes of old.
