Where to eat in Üsküdar, Istanbul, and how to order if a café uses a QR-code menu

For an evening meal and drinks, confirm prices and what will be included on the bill in advance at small cafés, particularly when ordering alcohol. The advice came from groups who preferred more reliable venues after their own experiences.

At Nevmekan Sahil in Üsküdar, the menu is accessed via QR code. If your mobile data is unavailable, ask a waiter for a printed menu; a paper copy was provided to a visitor.

A recommended café encountered on the way to a park was described as a self-service counter rather than a full-service restaurant. It may suit a simple, quick meal, although no name was given.
