Borden

The story

Borden is a small seafood restaurant in Kadıköy with a stylish, relaxed room and outdoor seating. The menu leans inventive: hummus with shrimp, fish soup, bass tacos, fava bean purée, and sea bass on corn appear alongside combinations like lor cheese with bok choy, fig chutney, and roasted hazelnuts. Across dishes, seafood and small plates recur, with fresh ingredients and Mediterranean-Anatolian touches surfacing more than once. The address places it in Rasimpaşa, near Yeldeğirmeni, on a quieter stretch away from Kadıköy’s busiest lanes.
