Le Lion in Tuzlaport is a fantastic spot for socializing and enjoying great food and drinks! The English pub atmosphere with it’s cozy, wooden decor and sports-themed paintings on the walls seems inviting. The lion details that complement the name of the place add a unique touch to the ambiance.

05/22/2026 at 11:26 amLe Lion is easily one of the best spots on the Tuzla waterfront — and honestly, one of the most underrated gastro pubs in all of Istanbul. The Garden By Le Lion area is stunning in the evening; we sat outside under the lights with craft cocktails and completely lost track of time.
Helpful ReviewThe food is genuinely impressive for a pub setting — the chicken fettuccini and beef tacos were standouts, and the signature cocktails (we tried the Dark Side) were expertly made. The staff were warm, attentive, and clearly proud of the place.
What sets Le Lion apart is the atmosphere. It has that rare quality of feeling both relaxed and special at the same time — great for a date, a group dinner, or a long Friday night. Live music on weekends takes it to another level.
If you’re in the Tuzla or Pendik area, don’t sleep on this one. It deserves far more attention than it gets.
