For juicy kebabs straight from the grill, this is the place to be. You can watch the chefs cooking at the back of the restaurant, which embodies an appealing blend of industrial chic and modern design, in one of Istanbul’s business districts. The cuisine is centred on premium ingredients and honest, straightforward cooking: succulent lamb skewers dusted with chilli flakes, served alongside flatbread and fresh salad, followed by grilled lamb chops with a crispy fat cap, delicately seasoned with salt and thyme. This is a meat lover's dream, especially since the value for money is exceptional. No

Here you’ll find it's easy to forget you're in the metropolis of Istanbul. You’re actually in the Yeniköy district, in the north of the city, just beyond the exclusive marina you pass on the way (taking the Bosphorus ferry over is a must).

Start your meal with the wood-fire grilled onion stuffed with rice, spices and currants – a speciality of the house. And be sure to sample the other mezze, such as the piping-hot lahmacum topped with succulent lamb, mint, parsley and a judicious squeeze of lemon. The main courses featuring various cuts of lamb are to die for. This contemporary restaurant close to Vadistanbul Shopping Mall and Galatasaray's football stadium is a celebration of Anatolian culinary heritage.

Herise İstanbul
Turkish, Regional Cuisine
₺₺₺
Asude and Bahadir are ambassadors for Anatolian cuisine. She will gladly tell you all about their concept while providing attentive service and bringing refreshing mocktails to your table (no alcohol served here). He works to a single set menu that celebrates traditional flavours. Variations of tomato and pepper are a common theme in his diverse range of dishes, whether vegetarian or meat-based. His less-is-more approach is exemplified by the millefeuille of dry figs with Aegean olive oil, or the refined combination of rosewater, saffron, currants and rice. Herise Istanbul is one of a kind.

You'll have to venture out of Istanbul's city centre to find this rather unassuming-looking restaurant, but the trip is well worth it. At Itsumi, authentic Japanese cuisine is expertly prepared using the finest ingredients. Whether it's lightly warmed sea bass sushi, omelette filled with grilled glazed eel, or noodles simmered in chicken stock with finely chopped vegetables and chicken, you can rely on the chef to deliver the specialities of his homeland with all the requisite nuances. At lunchtime, both a set menu and à la carte options are available. N.B. The omakase menu has to be booked in

If you're looking for an atmospheric seafood restaurant adorned with beautiful paintings and affording breathtaking views of the picturesque marina, then this perennial favourite is the place for you (ask for a table upstairs)! Start with a selection of mezze and then choose from the bountiful array of fish and seafood, which will be prepared according to your desires. Our inspector opted for sole from the display fridge, which was flawlessly pan-fried before being filleted at the table. It's all about the produce here!

Şans Restaurant
Turkish, Mediterranean Cuisine
₺₺₺
This elegantly appointed villa has been a favourite destination for business clientele since 1992. They come for the attentive service, private dining options and expert wine recommendations (be sure to try one of the Turkish reds!). But the principal draw is undoubtedly the cuisine: a fusion of authentic Turkish flavours and Mediterranean influences. From steaming cheese dumplings to a creamy mushroom risotto and slow-cooked lamb neck with barbecued vegetables: generosity is always on the menu here. A firm favourite with many foodies.
