Where to eat in Istanbul

Hello, we are photographer and videographer in Istanbul Ivan and Katya. During this time, we managed to try various dishes in dozens of cafes and restaurants.

Top delicious places with price/quality ratio

  • A cafe "MADO” delicious tea with Turkish sweets. There are lunches and Turkish breakfasts. Polite waiters, chargers available.
  • York. A Japanese restaurant in true Asian style. A visit only because of the style. Even the powder room here is equipped with everything Japanese. Very stylish. The sushi is incredibly delicious. The fish is cool on the inside and hot breaded on the outside. Also real Asian tea like in China. There are examples of fragrances in special containers and you can choose the one you like. We chose number 5 – milk tea.
  • Balkan Lokantasi. Something like a self-service canteen, several points around the city. Here you can choose your own dishes. A lifesaver for foreigners who cannot speak Turkish. The price tag is not high. We recommend it when you need a tasty, quick, healthy and inexpensive meal.

  1. Mario Balik Ekmek. Address: Azapkapi, Makaracilar Cd. No^23 Beyoglu/Istanbul. Shawarma with boneless fish, soaked in sauces, not dry, tasty. Looks like the most ordinary street shawarma. There are several Mario points along the embankment; the cafe became a brand after the release of Eagle and Tails.

Restaurants

Social Tesisler. Restaurant (social). In order for everyone to be able to afford to go to a restaurant, this chain of restaurants was created. This network has its own application. The ratings and menus of restaurants vary depending on location. We chose fish cooked on charcoal and baked in sauce with cheese, salads, tea. For dessert, chocolate brownie with ice cream. Tasty, beautiful and affordable. Prices and locations can also be viewed in the app.

Expensive, but incredible restaurant, atmospheric, the food is very tasty. Suitable for an important event, located in the resort of Yalova 4 Moon

TULA cafe ve restauran restaurant along the embankment. We tried fish, Caesar salad, honey cake and tea, we liked it.

Seven hills restaurant istanbul. The restaurant is popular for its breakfasts, we tried Turkish chowder and tea. The inside of the room behind the glass is quite noisy, like in the dining room, but the advantages of this establishment are the roof with a beautiful view. Cheese for the birds is already prepared on site; each visitor has the opportunity to feed the animals with a fork or by hand. Really impressive!
