The name says it plainly. Masa means table — the simplest machine for gathering, sharing and creating. The table is where notions are sketched, menus are tasted, plans are negotiated and feasts are shared. So we made the table our organizing idea: everything at Masa47 begins there and always comes back to it.
The table is where ideas meet, plans are sketched, and life takes shape.

Masa47 brings people together through food, homes, and ideas that spark connection…
Core Values
Four Corners
the Atelier
the Gallery
the Habitat
the Lab
the Ecosystem
Together these corners form a working loop: the Atelier imagines, the Lab grows talent, the Gallery shares it with guests, and the Habitat gives it a home. We return to the table at every step — to question, refine, celebrate and plan what comes next.

the Journey
August 2012
A neighborhood café turned local landmark in Alsancak, Faktori Food carved its reputation through honest cooking, warm hospitality, and creative weekly menus. It lit the first spark of the sensory identity of Masa47’s atelier, found its first tangible expression. It was where sparks of flavor meet daily life.
September 2017
Bresca Brasserie introduced a brasserie-style fusion of Turkish, Spanish & international flavors in Narlıdere, offering guests a taste-forward experience in design-rich surroundings. It stands as a Gallery piece — transformed the Atelier’s vision into shared moments of culinary artistry.
April 2020
Founded to design experiences through the five senses. Feel Culinary transforms restaurants and brands by mapping how people see, smell, taste, touch, and hear their surroundings — creating spaces that don’t just serve food, but emotion.
October 2021
Born from Feel Culinary’s creative fire, Eşlikçi redefined the ocakbaşı experience in İzmir’s Narlıdere district. Designed entirely from scratch for an investor, it brought together brick warmth, cherry wood smoke, and modern Turkish cuisine in a fine-casual rhythm of food, fire, and jazz.
Meaning “one who accompanies” in Turkish, Eşlikçi celebrates the art of pairing — food that complements drink, and ambiance that elevates both.
Honored with a total of two Gault & Millau Toques in 2024 and 2025, it remains one of Masa47’s defining sparks — where design, flavor, and spirit meet at the table.
January 2024
Born as a creative lab for thought. Fact Bakery collects stories, research, and reflections from across gastronomy and design, turning insights into articles, concepts, and cultural dialogue that feed Masa47’s creative ecosystem.
October 2025
Established as the table where it all connects. Masa47 brings together ideas, flavors, homes, and futures — building a holistic ecosystem where creativity, hospitality, and human imagination thrive as one.
