Cheap rip off tactics, avoid…read more I've been dining here for almost 20 years and have always brought my foreign guests to experience this place. Unfortunately, on my last visit, I was really disappointed to see how much things have changed. They charged us $120 per person, and the receipt listed every appetizer as a double portion even though the portions were tiny. Looking at the receipt, you'd think we ordered for 8 people when there were only 4 of us. It's sad to see even prestigious restaurants using tactics like this. I'm ok with the bill, but not ok with being treated like I'm stupid. We won't be going back.

One of the best restaurants to have some seafood right by the Bosphorus. It's cozy and small, but…read morelocated right by the Kandilli pier on the Asian shores of Bosphorus strait. They have fresh fish and some mezes (apetizers). Especially during Spring and Summer time you can sit and eat outside with a pleasent weather and nice breeze. You can reach there by ferries from the European shores, just check the ferry schedule or Sehir Hatlari (Municipal ferry lines).

You'll literally be sitting out at the beach, watching the fishermen, enjoying the sun and eating some really delicious food - there's everything you need: Tea, great olives, different cheese, fresh fruit, different veggies, different breadspreads - I loved the fig jam and of course: there's kaymak. Also you'll get different kinds of menemen (scrambled eggs with tomatoes, sometimes paprika and suçuk) and this melted cheese too. It's really amazing. We always stayed literally for hours and had a wonderful time! Later in the day it becomes a fish restaurant (as the name kinda gives away).
