Description

Once you enter the premises, leaving the bustling Pera district behind, you have a choice between a trendy bistro and a more romantic dining space with a vaulted ceiling. In either case, you'll be charmed by the mystical ambiance and the staff's enthusiasm and dedication – and that's before you've even discovered the restaurant's modern take on mezze! Traditional Turkish specialities, such as barbecued lamb heart with roast potatoes, share the menu with in-vogue options, including vegetarian dishes. The tasting menu offers a wonderful opportunity to savour delicacies such as flaky pastry fille
