Balikci Kahraman

If you are looking for an elite seafood restaurant Balıkçı Kahraman would be a good choice for you.



 

The restaurant located in Rumelikavağı, near the Bosporus. I think the most important issue at the fish restaurants is that they have to be close to sea side.



The restaurant has decorated with fishing nets.

The staff is really experienced in the restaurant, all of them are capable of giving you information about the meals. The service quality and the treatments of the staff are really meet your expectations about the restaurant.

You may find too many kinds of sea food in the menu. You may also enjoy the sea food and alcoholic beverages.

Hacı Abdullah Lokantasi

Istiklal Street is one of the signs of Istanbul. We all know this street with its historic theme and various restaurants. Istiklal Street is dynamic place around the clock. When you get to Taksim are I suggest you to go one of the most prominent restaurants namely Hacı Abdullah Lokantası.

The restaurant has served the variety of Ottoman Cuisines since 1888. It is licensed by the Sultan Abdulhamit II. Those days the restaurant only serves for ministers, top officials and guests.



When you get into the restaurant you can really feel the historic theme of the building, it really affects you with its ambiance. They also welcome you in a kindly way. The staff is really relevant and interested your needs or order.

Zurna Durum

When you read standard travel blogs you are usually meet with premium places with highly prices, where rarely preferred by natives. Conversely, I'm trying to share local tastes for my follower. Zurna Durum is one of these places. I know it seems a bit weird but you need to give it a chance.



Zurna Durum(wrap) is a type of wrap that prepared by tavuk. It's the longest wrap I've ever seen. Plus, the taste is a far amount good.

The wrap is consisting a special sauce that has yoghurt, so they are serving the wrap in a nylon bag.



Zurna means "shrill pipe", so I'm sure you get why it's called as Zurna.

If you're willing to experience a regular lunch of Kadikoy citizens, you should give Zurna Durum a chance.

 

Tike Beylerbeyi

If you are in Beylerbeyi, and you don’t have any idea about what to eat, Tike Kebap would be the best choice for you.



It's a perfect place to eat delicious Kebap and taste of turkish apperatifs. It welcomes you with its unique decoration. It can be considered as a grill restaurant with an open fire pit in the middle.



The restaurant both have indoor and outdoor saloon, so it provides you a wide and fresh service environment.

They debonairly welcomes you and make you fell privileged with the unique tastes. I think that waiting time for an order is acceptable. I strongly advice you to make a reservation for a dinner at Tike Beylerbeyi.

Halil Lahmacun

When I want to eat Lahmacun (Turkish Pizza), I am always torned between Borsam Lahmacun and Halil Lahmacun. They are both producing delicious Lahmacun with unique tastes.



Halil lahmacun is cooking lahmacun in stone oven (just like Borsam). But the difference is that Halil Lahmacun prefer thick crust for its Lahmacun.

Make your choice, lean back and enjoy.

 

Borsam Tas Firin

If you make a search about turkish cousine before your trip, you'll probably see the word "lahmacun" too many times. Yes, Lahmacun has a solid place in turkish cousine. Unfortunately, the fast-food approach demolish the image of lahmacun. If you want to taste real lahmacun, you should find restaurants which cook the lahmacun in the stone oven.

The restaurant is pretty small. The only thing that they serve is delicious Lahmacun.
