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.

Fauna

Italian

₺₺₺

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!

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.

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!

Turkish, Grills · Bib

Lamb, grilled dishes and mezze are the specialities of this lively, spacious restaurant spread over two floors. This is where traditional Turkish cuisine reveals all of its generosity. Picture the skewers arriving at your table, still sizzling from the grill. Imagine feasting on sac tava – diced lamb in a punchy tomato and chilli pepper sauce – or fabulous grilled aubergine and pepper with succulent minced lamb. No pretence here, just bold, satisfying flavours. The numerous photographs of celebrities who have dined here are proof that this place has been a crowd-pleaser since 1978.
