Our Story

How It All Began

A Passion for Authentic Flavours

Istanbul Breeze was born from a belief that Liverpool deserved a truly authentic Turkish dining experience — one rooted in tradition, generous in spirit, and open to everyone.

Our menus draw on centuries of culinary heritage from across Turkey and the wider Mediterranean — recipes passed down through generations, brought to life with fresh, carefully sourced ingredients and cooked over our stone grill every single day.

We wanted a space where people could gather, share plates, linger over a cocktail, and feel genuinely looked after. Queen Square gave us exactly that — and the terrace gave us something truly special.

Our Signature Space

Liverpool's Only
Open-Sky Terrace

Our fully glazed terrace features a motorised opening roof — letting you dine under open skies in summer or stay sheltered and warm when the weather turns. It's not just a terrace. It's the heart of Istanbul Breeze.

Our Principles

What We Stand For

Authenticity

Every dish on our menu is rooted in genuine Turkish and Mediterranean tradition. No shortcuts, no imitations just real food, made properly.

Halal & Fresh

We are proud to be fully Halal certified. Every ingredient is sourced with care and prepared fresh daily. Our standards are non-negotiable.

Warm Hospitality

Turkish hospitality is legendary for a reason. From the moment you arrive to the moment you leave, you are our guest and guests are family.

How We Cook

Cooked Over Stone & Flame

At the heart of our kitchen is the stone grill — the source of the flavours that define Turkish cooking.

Our kebabs, grills, and skewers are all cooked over our gas stone grill and oven, locking in flavour the way it has been done for centuries. The char, the smoke, the tenderness, it cannot be replicated any other way.

Our stews are slow-cooked to order, our mezze prepared fresh each morning, and our bread baked daily. Every detail matters to us, and we think you will taste the difference.
