We've visited Parsifal with 6 persons. It is a vegetarian restaurant , the food was simple but very nice! It was a welcome (healthy) variation after having so much Turkish food. Especially the orange cake for dessert. It was about ?72 for 6 persons, very good price for the food.

Although the vegetarian menu is extensive, I felt the food lacked imagination and taste. I had a rather pasty vegetable burger, which lacked flavour - a shame as the spice market isn't that far away. The chef could benefit from visiting it. Parsifal reminded me of one of those 1980s veggie places I thought we had consigned to history -... More

On my quest for a vegetarian restaurant (or at least some alternative to the traditional "normal" food) I came upon the Parsifal. I have to say that I've never been happier with my food then eating with pleasure at the Parsifal. What a feast for the eyes and your palate. It is simple done very well. The rice is cooked... More

If I had to define Parsifal with one single word, it would be "cosy": a nice warm lighting, interesting frames on the walls, delicately selected music and of course, very friendly staff ready to help you if you have a hard time in selecting what to eat because everything seems so delicious here. Even the most "regular" plates have a... More

I'm coming to this restaurant for a long time. Never lost it's taste and quality. I recommend this place to everyone, especially if you are a vegan. The atmosphere is also great. And extra thanks for the Vegan Cake on Christmas night :)

Really like the food at Parsifal - the menu has a lot of variety and vegan options are clearly marked. The place is cute and pleasant to be in and the staff is nice. Would definitely go back, the only downside is it's on the expensive side for Istanbul.

we spent new year's eve in this restaurant. After more than one week in Istanbul we had seen a couple of restaurants, but this was the best one. It is rather a simple restaurant but the ambience is nice and cozy. The food was excellent: fresh and tasty. The service very friendly and attentive although the restaurant was full. The... More

Good points: Fully vegetarian restaurant, reasonable selection, some good dishes, pleasant decor and central location. Prices are not bad. Serves alcohol and is open relatively late. Vegetable wrap is a nice option. Greek style aubergine is interesting and potato wedges are quite good. Not so good: Some dishes can be heavy on dairy or have egg and menu is slightly... More

Good food, even for non vegetarians, better service, but some choices on best platter could have been more diverse.... smoked eggplant, very good.
