High class vegan cafe & patisserie - Edit
This is my second visit to the Ethique and it’s so impressive! The croissant sandwiches for lunch are divine— the croissants were so crispy and light. The desserts are so elegant. It’s really comfortable to sit inside in air conditioning when it’s hot out. Will definitely come back.

Feels like you are in Paris! - Edit
So many choices! Even at 3 pm on a Sunday, though clearly much was already gone. To go options packed cutely in individual boxes. The strawberry cake and madelines will be remembered forever! Chocolate croissant and caramel/chocolate cookie were ok.

Impressive cafe - Edit
I know my picture doesn’t do it justice, but the selection of pastries here is amazing. They had truffles, cakes, cookies etc. The croissant I had was so good. I wish I discovered this place at the beginning of my trip because I would have came everyday.

Best bakery in the world! - Edit
This is a vegans dream, Ethique has a beautiful display of cakes, pastries, chocolates and desserts. All are decorated immaculately and the ones we tasted were sublime. The staff we interacted with were friendly and keen to know whether we enjoyed our food. The location was a bit out the way, however we walked from Kadikoy and it was a pleasant journey. The interior is stylish and modern, there is also a very cute resident cat! Prices are expensive, but we had the best sweet treats we've ever had so would say it's 100% worth it. We recommend the croissants!

Need to visit again! - Edit
A French patisserie with a rather impressive offer. We visited in the evening, so the choice was limited; no savoury options and almost no sweet pastries, mostly just desserts and macarons.
Read moreThe chocolate cake I wanted most sold out right before my eyes, so I had to go for an alternative, which was not quite my cup of tea. My partner had a tiramisu which was great! I also bought a pistachio croissant for next day's breakfast (it was huge!), but I would like to taste it when it was fresh.
Prices are unfortunately not displayed, but it was around 6-7 euros per piece. Very expensive, but well, it reflects the quality of the products and the cost of ingredients. Nice spacious interior full of plants. The staff seemed rather disinterested.
Pros: Great choice
Cons: Location, Prices

BEST VEG BAKERY IN ISTANBUL - Edit
I’m mostly vegan thanks to my lovely Vegan partner. We’ve been discovering Vegan places in Istanbul and honestly this place is our favourite. They have everything and anything you need for a good breakfast/brunch/lunch/snack. They do delivery&take away too.

Came to Istanbul for Ethique - Edit
I changed cities basically for their croissants. My mom, who is non-vegan and has very high standards for baked goods, thought the food was amazing. The only downside is that it's very hard to choose from all the variety!

Wow so fancy! - Edit
So many mouth watering desserts i wanted to try them all! Really elegant. The food options are good too, mostly sandwiches. I had an harissa croissant it was good and i even struggled to finish it. Problem, its expensive and not central at all!

Now I have to move to Istanbul! - Edit
This place makes the most beautiful and delicious sweets I've ever tasted in my life! Whenever someone says it's not possible to make good vegan sweets, show them Ethique Plant-based! The bad part is that now I will have to learn Turkish and move to Istanbul so I can eat here more often.
Read moreIt is not so close to Istanbul hot spots, but if you have to choose, go with Ethique and leave some tourist spot for your next visit to Türkiye.
I highly recommend you visit the place when you are in Istanbul!
Pros: Fantastic food!!!, Cozy place, Amazingly beautiful food
Cons: Not so close to Istanbul hot spots

The must in Istanbul - Edit
This is the single best pastry shop I ever went to in my life. It’s simply extraordinary. I went back every week. They have so many delicious options, in a beautiful atmosphere. Do yourself a favour, and go there — it’s fully worth the trip.

This is the bakery of bakeries. Best vegan bakery I’ve ever visited. Went out of our way 3 different times—traveling from Europe to Asia each time!—just to eat here.
Read moreThese folks have talent. My girlfriend lived in France for several years but this was the best of a French sandwich she’d ever had, right here at Ethique.
Friendly, remarkable array of various sweets and absolutely delicious tofu sandwich. Watermelon slushie sooooo refreshing. Every single thing just GOLD standard.
Everyone would become vegan if they tried the foods here.
