About Us

Monk is not just a venue; it is a space where coming together, creating and sharing, and streets, sounds and flavors all intertwine. In Kemeraltı's Antique Bazaar, we are the meeting point for those seeking artistic freedom.

Here, music and multidisciplinary art nourish each other. We want to be a place where every artist and every musician can express themselves as they are; every work on display and every melody that echoes gains a deeper meaning.

Being right in the heart of Kemeraltı is no coincidence. We love the bustle between the passages, the historic textures, the shade of the old hans (historic inns) and the morning chats with the shopkeepers. We drew inspiration from these streets when creating our menu; we chose our cheese, our spices and the special touches in our kitchen from small shops, from hands with their own stories.

Here there is no rush, there is warmth; no showing off, there is authenticity. Whether you are an artist, a musician, or simply someone who wants to experience this atmosphere, Monk opens its doors wide to you.
