The Rumeli café restaurant is situated next to the much recommended restaurant Mozaik in the Istanbul tourist quarter Sultanahmet just off Divan Yolu Caddesi near Yerebatan Sarnici (Basilica Cisterne).
Rumeli is far more classy than the restaurants in the neighbourhood. The staff serves the way it…

If you are visiting Istanbul, it is likely you will be staying in the Sultanahmet district near Akbiyik Caddesi, which is a street filled with hotels and hostels. Food in this area is mainly substandard and tourist driven so it was nice to find a hidden gem. Albura Kathisma serves authentic, tasty…

Moving in the 19th Century from Topkapı Palace to their new magnificent palaces in the Bosphorus, the Ottoman Sultans literally started the history of Feriye, built then as a precinct.
As the terminus of the new palatial area extending from Beşiktaş to Ortaköy with Dolmabahçe and Çırağan …

KARAKOY GULLUOGLU BAKLAVA SHOP
While in Istanbul, I had the privilege of visiting Karakoy Gulluoglu, the world-famous baklava bakery. If baklava is a symbol of Turkey, then Karakoy Gulluoglu is a symbol of baklava. In November 2004, a jury of gourmets and food authors sponsored by the daily new…

This restaurant make Kofte only back from many years ago. I've tried Kofte from many restaurant in Turkey and I like one from this place the most. It's the way they mix the meat with those herbs and the grill technique.
Your Kofte will be served with soured paprika and bread. However, I would re…

There are a couple of restaurants highlighted in my Lonely Planet and this one is by far the best of them. I went in January, so we could not eat outdoors, but inside is really nice too. It is a little bit scary once you get the menu as you see that there are no prices listed, but what the heck! You…

Every once in a while you stumble on a place that locals frequent that has fantastic views. Setustu Cay Bahcesi is one of those places. A tea garden set in Gulhane Park in Istanbul, this cafe sits right along the Bosphorus. For very little money, you can enjoy tea, water, coke or snacks while wat…

I really regret not brining my camera to this place, as it was the quintessential Turkish restaurant, as I would imagine it. Focused on Kebabs, there is a large, narrow, rectangular fire-pit in the background of the lower dining room where the chefs place the various skewers over a hot fire. Try n…

This is a great place. It is off the main road, Istiklal, in downtown Taksim. There are a few tourist that find this place but I think most are local people who know about it. I was brought here by one of my friends and his sister. When I walked in I just thought "cute place" then when I walked …

This is a restaurant Nacho Adorna recommended to me (he is a TravBuddy from Madrid too). It is located in the Beyoglu neighbourhood, right in the middle of the city´s most famous shopping and entertainment strip. It is very difficult to find, so bare with me.. ☺
Going up from the Galata bridge…

There are literally thousands of small lunch restaurants in Istanbul, all serving various sorts of quick, simple, working-man's (or -woman's) Turkish food, but Bayburt Köftecisi is without a doubt my favorite. The food itself is far from fancy, but delicious nonetheless, and definitely a cu…

Cibalikapı Balıkçısı has the reputation of being one of the best seafood restaurants in Istanbul, and in my experience certainly deserves it.It's a traditional Turkish seafood restaurant, with meze, very fresh fish, and rakı (although there is also a wine menu). The assortment of differe…

I went here with a fellow traveler from Canada. It was quite nicer than we thought it would be, and was pretty good as far as prices. The waiter only spoke Turkish, but was really nice.
We waited for our food for a bit longer than we thought we would have to, but it was Sunday night and pretty b…

Chillout Cafe is both a hostel and a Cafe and has recently opened two more buildings. All three of them are around Istiklal Caddesi in Taksim. I've never slept in the Hostel but I've spent a fair amount of time in Chillout Cafe and met quite a few very very interesting and friendly people who I've h…
