"Neolokal was founded by Maksut Aşkar and Erim Leblebicioğlu 8 years ago with a preference for a wine menu consisting solely of local wines. The menu includes wine from every region of Türkiye, with pairing menus that pair plates with wines made from local grapes. The wine list has over 200 local wines, half of which are made from local grape varieties. The restaurant emphasizes the use of endemic grapes and aims to increase the visibility of local grapes through new pairing menus." - MICHELIN Guide
