- Casa Lavanda★ Michelin Casa Lavanda is a haven of tranquillity some 40km from Istanbul. The family-run business includes both a hotel and this restaurant, authentic to its core and adorned with artwork by the proprietress. Tables on the terrace overlooking the magnificent garden are in great demand. Chef Emre Şen has his kitchen garden there, where 80% of the vegetables he uses are grown. This says a lot about his respect for his ingredients. He also has a friendly relationship with local producers who supply him with other goods he loves to work with. This chef is very attached to his terroir and exploits its natur31.0km
- Araf İstanbul★ Michelin 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 pe43.9km
- Tavacı Recep Usta BostancıBib 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 1978.42.4km
- mutfakkozBib 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.43.4km
- Nazende CaddeBib Head to the neighbourhood of upmarket Bağdat Avenue and experience the convivial and friendly atmosphere of Nazende Cadde. This is a charming place, in which to share all kinds of delicacies with friends. The tempting menu changes daily to take advantage of the best market offerings and is simply irresistible. The chefs put their heart and soul into every creation and have a few signature dishes up their sleeves, including succulent, boldly spiced grilled squid rings. They like working with offal, pairing tenderly cooked lamb brains with fresh parsley, diced tomatoes, olive oil and lemon. At t44.7km
- Parvus KalamışBib Parvus Kalamış is a modest little establishment with just a handful of tables that see a steady stream of diners throughout the day. The chefs describe their cuisine as simple and delicious, and we can only agree. Think ravioli generously stuffed with ricotta and broccoli, bathed in a sage-infused butter sauce, or perfectly medium-rare lamb fillet served with bulgur risotto and carrot purée laced with Middle Eastern spices. This fusion of Turkish and Mediterranean culinary traditions delivers deep, indulgent flavours that are nothing short of irresistible. Beyond the extensive à la carte selec48.2km
- Yanyalı Fehmi LokantasıBib Located in the heart of Istanbul's bustling old quarter, this establishment invites you to enter a slice of living history. Since opening its doors in 1919, the restaurant has remained a family affair, currently run by the third generation. The interior exudes timeless nostalgic charm with its elegant woodwork and Chesterfield banquettes. Watch the pastry chefs at work in the front section (takeaway available), then peruse the wide range of traditional treats in the display counter. You could start with the slow-cooked aubergine with minced lamb and cheesy béchamel sauce, follow that with the 49.6km
- Calipso Fish Istanbul residents come to this sun-drenched restaurant to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. The waiters give expert advice on the wide selection of mezze in the display fridge – the salads are beautifully fragrant! And that's just the beginning, because the traditional preparation methods accentuate the rich flavours of super-fresh fish and seafood. Whatever you choose, the chef will cook it according to your wishes: the bluefish, for example, can be barbecued whole and served with al dente vegetables. This is ingredient-led cuisine that never fails to impress.41.5km
- 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!42.9km
- Sapa İstanbul 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!42.9km
