I go there very often for various reasons and love to eat at Mezzaluna, they have one of the best pizzas and lasagne.. They have indoor and outdoor seatings, good service, good quality food, and free Wifi :) It doesn't come cheap though, check the prices in the menu before ordering, in case you're on a tight budget. By the way, their lemonade is fantastic, very fresh.

Crossing the Bosphorus is a great way to start a nice date night or any event really. Once there the restaurant has a lovely view. You must make reservations beforehand as it gets very busy especially on Fridays an weekends. We were first seated at a bad table despite making clear during the reservation that it was a special occasion. We had to wait until a better table opened up. The food is delicious and well prepared. The service is as professional and as pleasant as it gets, not to mention fast. We had a selection of cold entrées (borulce, tomato salad, aubergine and a few other things that I don't exactly remember) all of the cold entrées werevery good. We then moved to hot entrées: shrimp with butter and garlic, and octopus. I especially recommend the octopus. Eventually we were so full that we skipped mains and ordered dessert. I can never resist a chocolate soufflée and if you like them as much as I do, here is a good place to eat them. We payed 380 Liras for all the food mentioned above plus 2 glasses of raki. I recommend this place to anyone wanting to try a nice fish restaurant in Istanbul.

We were just there a few days ago and indulged in mainly a variety of appetizers. The marinated levrek with pesto sauce, marinated izmarit, chef salad, caviar spread were sooooo delicious.

These were the only dishes we didn't like for the first time at this restaurant, whi

Best decision we made. The chicken was passable but the Ziya special kabab were amazing! We have not had Kunefe before. We tried it here and it was like being in heaven. If you are planning an evening try the dervish ceremony at hodjapacha and then food here.
