"The Townhouse" is the place to be for cocktail enthusiasts like myself. After planning to visit for quite some time, I finally had the chance to experience this exclusive establishment located in Suadiye. Yes, it is on the pricier side, but definitely worth it, especially for the cocktails.
Upon arriving at the venue, you are greeted with complimentary treats such as refreshing water, superbly orgasmic green olives with almonds, and pistachios. The staff is incredibly attentive, always ready to cater to your needs or replenish your complimentary snacks without any extra charge.
Now, let's talk about the cocktails. I had the pleasure of sampling three different ones:
- "Vanilla Sky": A cocktail with peach juice, offering a sweet and smooth taste. It goes down so easily that I almost felt like I was sipping on a fruity juice rather than an alcoholic beverage.
- "Passion": A blend of sweet, sour, and bitter flavors all in one glass. Initially, the bitterness was a bit overpowering for my taste, but upon expressing my preference to the waiter, they quickly prepared a milder version for me, which I enjoyed. The cocktail also includes pineapple juice, giving it a tangy and slightly sweet taste.
- "Pisco": Another cocktail with a delightful balance of sweet and sour notes, providing a pleasurable and smooth drinking experience.
I must say, I made excellent choices with these cocktails, and all three were enjoyable. My favorite was the "Pisco" for its delightful taste and perfect balance. Although "Vanilla Sky" was smooth, I missed the distinct alcohol flavor. If I were to choose one to recommend, it would be the "Pisco." Despite the initial intensity of "Passion," I did enjoy its milder version later on.
Regarding prices, I checked Google Maps reviews beforehand, which mentioned cocktail prices at 550 TL. However, upon my visit, the prices had been updated to 620 TL. Despite the increased cost, the drinks are served generously in full glasses, unlike my previous experience at another venue in Kadıköy where the glass was barely a third full. The complimentary snacks and attentive service without any additional fees are commendable.
Additionally, if you order a meal, you are treated to a complimentary appetizer plate beforehand. I opted for a small hamburger, but I found the food to be quite expensive, making it less desirable for dining. However, for cocktail enthusiasts wanting to explore new flavors, this place is a gem.
Finally, I indulged in a generous portion of profiteroles for dessert. Although the prices were steep, my overall bill for three cocktails, a burger, and dessert amounted to 2980 TL. While I may not return immediately due to the high prices, the lingering taste of the cocktails has left me eager to revisit The Townhouse someday.
