Istanbul Restaurants are an indispensable part of modern life. In ancient times, people used to meet their needs at home. In addition, those working in government offices and those working outside would eat their meals in the cafeteria of the workplace or fill their stomachs from the lunch boxes they brought. In the earliest times, food service was provided only in inns where long-distance travelers stayed. All needs, such as accommodation and food, were provided to the traveling people. There were inn-like and very few hotel-restaurant style places in towns and cities. Since these were generally few customers, they were not only restaurants but also groceries and businesses. Restaurants were popular stops only for foreigners coming from the road.

Over time, especially with the industrial revolution and urbanization, the distances people traveled to reach work became longer. In addition, long working hours also came into play. Thus, the problem of lack of time arose. Someone had to cook the meals for you. This is exactly where Istanbul restaurants came into play. Nowadays Istanbul restaurants have increased and diversified.

Serbethane, which serves local and foreign visitors in Istanbul, is among the prominent places among Istanbul restaurants with its quality and historical place.
