Gabfoods Istanbul

Healthy & delicious

""Gabfoods" is the first Paleo healthy restaurant in Istanbul. Located on the Bosphorus waterfront, these guys have put the taste back into healthy eating."

Are you one of those people who is searching for the best gyms and healthy food spots in your travel destination? If so, I have to say that I have always admired your commitment and dedication. And if you are searching for some healthy spots for your trip in Istanbul, then let me give you the best piece of advice: Gabfood: the first paleo healthy restaurant in town.

Located on the Bosphorus waterfront in picturesque Arnavutköy, you can both sit and enjoy the view or grab & go and get lost in the streets. 

Every product is 100% gluten-free in Gabfoods; they never use refined sugars, and they have plenty of vegan options also available. But eating healthy doesn’t have to be boring and bland. Just wait until you taste Gabfood’s Paleo Waffle and drink the almond milk latte. 

You will also see plenty of “healthy bowl” options on the menu. You can choose the Acai Bowl Freeze Dry, with acai, homemade peanut butter, forest fruits mix, banana and fresh granola all combined together in a large bowl. That’s it! Healthy, nutritious and delicious. 

In addition, it has a cool and fancy decoration, and don’t forget to take a photo of the neon lights.
