A must see for the view. Don't expect the best food or service. Ideal for an afternoon drink.
a favorite hide-away caffe/tea spot for Istanbulians... open air, cozy little hstoric square off Istiklal
Karabatak (Julius Meinl) is a cool and funky café that features retro-style décor and an atmosphere that makes you want to spend many hours here chatting away with friends over a cup of coffee. En savoir plus .
1 Michelin star restaurant - incredible view (great at sunset), fine food, expensive bill. Worth going up there for a cocktail without staying for dinner
tipical Turkish home food... many appetizers (meze) to choose from. Well established and respected by Istanbulites
Great authentic ottoman food - in front of the Galata Tower... looks like a turist trap but it is not ! I keep coming here.
This place is best known for the sublime dishes it serves in its sister restaurant across the street, but Çiya is also one of Istanbul's finest kebab-makers.
Great location right by the Bosforous, great ambiance on a sunny day. Expensive cocktails, but worthwile a visit while in Ortakoy
