If you are a cat lover, you would love this place. We were enjoying different platters with the cute cats around us.
Very tasty food specially the hummus, personally I enjoyed the savory dishes more than the sweet ones.
Very slow service we needed to wait ages for the food.
Slightly expensive for the portions but still a good quality.

For travellers passionate about food, do not visit Istanbul and miss the opportunity to dine at Foxy! Their creative interpretation of classic recipes come in 24 small dishes and are a perfect window into modern Turkish culture (I usually go twice each visit to try more of the menu). Most importantly, the vibes are perfect. This is a place good friends meet to catch up, to go on dates, or relax at the end of a long day. It's chic, but also relaxed, with staff that are incredibly attentive and happy to walk you through dishes and their extensive wine menu. Clear of the intense tourist trap areas, I love to sit down with a glass of wine, selection of 3/4 plates and enjoy Istanbul as the locals do.

Best humus I ever had. Great place to people watch. Not great for a romantic evening. Rather a casual loud spot.
