Kenan and Pınar Çetinkaya welcome you warmly to their intimate restaurant, where capacity is limited. A seat at the counter offers the perfect vantage point to watch the chefs expertly tame the open fire (there are also a few tables in the conservatory). It creates a convivial atmosphere too – you'll almost certainly strike up conversations with your neighbours, and the chefs happily take the time to talk you through their dishes.What may at first glance look simple reveals remarkable depth once you taste it. The chefs focus on bringing out the true essence of their ingredients. They have a pe

At this down-to-earth eatery, conviviality and honest cooking set the tone. You can see the chefs prepare everything from scratch in the open kitchen, from the brioche to the dressings, which is instantly reassuring. Dishes might include beans simmered in a creamy meat jus, served with yoghurt and yellow pepper, topped with succulent roast beef, or a street food-style sandwich filled with grilled mackerel, spiced mayonnaise and beetroot (also available to take away). There are so many options! This is easygoing dining with personality, at prices that are hard to beat.

Fauna

Lunch at Fauna is the perfect excuse to visit the Ataşehir district, just outside the city centre. Diners sit at long tables, often side by side with others, while the chefs get to work making fresh pasta. At Fauna, Italian and Turkish cuisine come together in generous shareable dishes. Think ravioli with a bold Obruk cheese filling cooked al dente and accompanied by a light butter sauce with a subtle tartness and sage. Local ingredients take centre stage in this ongoing pursuit of culinary finesse. Advance booking is strongly recommended!

Sapa İstanbul

Turkish, Modern Cuisine

₺₺₺

Stylish and spacious, Sapa is located in a predominantly corporate neighbourhood and caters to breakfast, lunch and dinner crowds. We especially recommend the set menu, available from 2pm. (N.B. The 12-course menu is for a minimum of two people.) The chef has a penchant for open-flame cooking and a knack for balancing robust flavours with contemporary culinary lightness. He accompanies succulent grilled rockfish with a salmon cream paired with chestnut and capers for a touch of fresh acidity. A drizzle of syrup adds a hint of sweetness – a refreshing spin on Turkish cuisine!

Even before you walk into this colourful establishment, the ornate exterior hints that nature is celebrated at Telezzüz. The location, in a sports complex, is also rather unique. The restaurant clearly prioritises sustainable practices such as local sourcing, a zero-waste approach and plant-forward cooking. The chefs are creative in crafting delicious vegan dishes. Think mushroom ceviche, or deep-fried artichoke with a rich mushroom ketchup, a sweet plum and chilli sauce, olive oil mayonnaise and crunchy vegetables. And what better than a refreshing cocktail to accompany such deliciously natur
