WAYANA / MENU
Flavours of Anatolia and the Mediterranean, at the WAYANA table.
Welcome to Turkey’s most extensive wine-by-the-glass collection. At WAYANA, our wine bar Istanbul menu features rare indigenous varieties, boutique family estates, and artisan tapas crafted to celebrate local terroirs.
Flavours of Anatolia and the Mediterranean
Anatolia is at the heart of our kitchen. Drawing on traditional recipes, local ingredients and the culinary traditions of different regions, we also make room for the Mediterranean flavours we love.
Our menu is not a fixed list, but a living selection that changes with the seasons, the ingredients and what our kitchen is preparing that day.
WAYANA at the Table
At WAYANA, the table is not a separate world alongside the tasting experience; it is a natural part of it. While much of our menu is inspired by the cuisines of Anatolia, selected Mediterranean flavours also find their place at the table.
Our aim is not to reinterpret traditional dishes, but to bring different flavours, local ingredients and our by-the-glass selections together at the same table.
Let us introduce you to three highlights from the WAYANA menu.
Sea Bass on Artichoke Bottom
Tender Aegean sea bass served in an artichoke heart with extra virgin olive oil; a classic Mediterranean pairing for crisp native whites.
Artisanal Anatolian Cheese Assortment
A curated board of regional treasures—from aged Kars Gruyère to Smoked Circassian—celebrating Anatolia’s deep dairy heritage.
Marussa Parhu (Bonito Lakerda)
Istanbul’s historic salt-cured bonito served on artisan sourdough with pickled red onions; a vibrant pairing for crisp native whites and sparkling wines.
