Submitted to our guide by the owner Carlos, described with his own words as: "Le Cuistot Bistro is an authentic Franco-Belgian restaurant located in the heart of Pera, Beyoğlu. For more than 12 years, it has been a welcoming spot for both locals and international guests, especially well-known and appreciated within the LGBT+ community. Our atmosphere is warm, inclusive, and very friendly, making everyone feel comfortable and respected. We serve traditional Belgian and French cuisine such as mussels with fries, pepper steak flambéed with cognac, blanquette de veal, and homemade desserts. Combining authenticity, gastronomy, and conviviality, Le Cuistot Bistro has become a favorite meeting place where diversity and good taste come together." (27/09/2025)

Gay Friendly Aquarius Sauna Istanbul

"I visit Aquarius Sauna every time I'm in Istanbul, and honestly, I always have a great time! Sure, the place might be a bit run-down, but it has its own charm.
The standout, and main reason I keep coming back is definitely the guys who work there. They’re all straight, hot, and genuinely charming. If you opt for any of their services, you're in good hands – they really know what they're doing! ;)
