DERALIYE OTTOMAN CUISINE
Read moreIn the old quarter of Istanbul, there are few restaurants that offer traditional cuisine in a modern and trendy setting. That's what this restaurant offers, and its popularity is growing all the time. While offering the classics of Turkish cuisine, the chef makes some really successful sweet and savory combinations like lamb neck with plums or stuffed melon. Vegetarian options are available, especially the testi kebap which we recommend. The promise of the place: treat you like a sultan. That's all there is to it!
ZEYTUN FISH RESTAURANT
Read moreIt's the kind of restaurant you won't soon forget because you feel so good there. Zeytun ticks all the boxes. First of all, its shaded terrace at the edge of the water is marvellous, one could spend the day there. Then, the welcome is particularly nice. You choose your favorite mezze in the window or you let yourself be guided by the extremely nice waiters if it is too difficult! The fish is caught in the morning and sold by weight. Check the prices first. Everything is homemade. Nice selection of local and foreign wines. Great place!
MARMARA BALIK RESTAURANT
Read moreGood plan alert! In the covered area of the fish market is hidden a little wonder! You buy your fresh fish for example at the Senol Balikçilik fish shop 2 meters from the Marmara restaurant which then prepares and cooks it to perfection for you. All you have to do is sit down and choose from the many delicious hot and cold mezzes to accompany your catch of the day. Cheaper and nicer than the marina's restaurants. A small glass of raki to finish and it's a party! Friendly waiters.

CIBALIKAPI BALIKÇISI
Read moreOverlooking the Golden Horn, this Greek tavern delights gourmets in search of authenticity with its warm wooden decor and inventive Mediterranean cuisine. Large choice of mezze and fish (no meat) presented on a tray. Among the specialities, the Cretan salad and, for dessert, the succulent tahin-pekmez, (oven cream made from sesame, cinnamon and crushed pistachios). Smiling service. A second address in the Moda district of Kadıköy, on the Asian side of the Bosporus. Address used by the locals.
