TL;DR
In Karaburun beach area, travelers mention an affordable municipal-style cafe, a small fish restaurant, and tea houses along the promenade. The area is convenient for a beach lunch, while the best panoramic sea-view dining is often found in hotel restaurants rather than standalone venues.
The Karaburun promenade is wide and scenic. There's a transport stop near the hotel heading toward Florya. The Fişekhane area has many trendy restaurants with a nice atmosphere and a stylish crowd.
The newest tip says that truly panoramic sea-view dining is usually found inside hotels rather than in standalone beach restaurants. One example mentioned was Utopia Family, but the view is more over the bay from above: the sea is partly blocked by a high fence, and there is no full beach, only a pier.
There is also a restaurant right by the beach where lunch is described as very quiet and uncrowded, almost like being at a small private resort. It sounds like a good pick if you want a peaceful meal close to the sea rather than a busy promenade spot.
At Karaburun beach, travelers mention several easy food options: a pleasant low-cost municipal cafe, a small fish restaurant, and tea houses. The developed seafront promenade and decent infrastructure make it a practical area for an affordable meal by the water.
