Lips Wine Bar sets itself apart in Nişantaşı with its streamlined, modern decor and inviting, low-key vibe. Over 100 different wine bottles headline the drinks selection, sourced from various regions, with knowledgeable consulting by Selin Osmanoğlu. Sinan Kızıklı leads the management.
The menu emphasizes compatibility with wine, offering sections like "Paylaşımlıklar" for shareable starters, as well as charcoal-grilled plates such as mixed mushrooms, seabass, and miso chicken thigh. Seasonal cold plates include beef tartare and pan con tomate, while parmesan oxtail croquettes and potato terrine highlight the warm options. For larger groups, the sharing plates are a practical choice, featuring seabass carpaccio and crispy eggplant. A brief but purposeful dessert selection offers options like dark chocolate mousse and sticky toffee pudding. Crowds gather quickly in the evenings, so seating can be competitive despite its recent opening.
