Simon Willison: Some of the best food we had in Istanbul. Fixed price set menu (105TL/person) which includes beer/wine and 5 courses (including a 20 plate meze selection and tasty grilled octopus). Tricky to find!
Micah Halsey: Griffin restaurant on the top floor serves excellent fish with a fabulous view of the Golden Horn. Next time we'll have to try downstairs for lunch!
istanbul: Meyhane food in a brasserie setting. Sofyali pays attention to seasonal produce, with meze that includes dressed chard stalks with walnut tarrator sauce. Staff are extra-nice. Booking essential.
