We were easily able to walk to a number of great places to eat and go shopping at the bazaar on Istiklal Ave. I was disappointed with the internet service-- it was pretty slow (and only free in the lobby). Upon checking in, we were given a free upgrade-- the room was very large and clean. The bed was incredibly comfortable with superior sheets! The hotel did not disappoint and I would definitely stay here again when I am back in Istanbul!

I love this restaurant. Have been there several times while I was a guest at the RC Istanbul. This…read morelast visit to the Ralso C, I tried several dishes at the recommendation of Hiktam (Hiktem? I'm so sorry if I'm massacring his name) - he recommended the lentil soup: fabulous. The mushroom soup: also delicious. I will upload pictures of what I had there. The desserts are also divine. Yummy. The ambiance of the restaurant is nice - relaxing with a beautiful view of the Bosporus. The service is great; they do offer a breakfast buffet, so if you do not want that, you should be sure to tell the hostess or server so they know not to automatically charge it to your room. I opted to pay cash (TYL) mostly because I had cash, and didn't want extra miscellaneous charges on my room. Anyway, back to the food. The burger was probably my go-to, but only because it was easy. My only complaint with the burger was that the several times I ordered it, I ordered it cooked medium - each time it was done medium well; as if the chef didn't know the different temps or wasn't willing to chance it? The burgers were still ok, but I just preferred the middle a little more tender. The fries were delicious. The salads were also delicious, as was the fish. Basically everything I had was great! Now to dessert - the RC Chocolate Cake is a must... Ohhhh, soooo delightful! Chocolatey but not too sweet. That is one thing I love about the sweets in Istanbul: they are sweet, but not sickeningly sweet like in America. Anyway, if you are ever at the RC, check out the restaurant. And order Menemen - sooo good!!!

Located at the borderline of an industrial district, one would think Markus Prime Ribs Society…read morewould make a poor date spot. One would be terribly wrong. Indeed maslak industrial district is becoming home to many new and chic restaurants. Markus is one of the first to open up shop there. We went there for Valentines day (I know, sounds odd right?). The restaurant has large shared tables and bistros. We were only able to make reservations for the shared table and despite our doubts it didn't not feel crammed. Quite the contrary, it was both romantic and convivial thanks to the people around us. Our experience with the service was exceptional from the first phone call to the last plate served. Attentive with genuine smiles and great recommendations. We ordered celery and fries (which were strongly recommended) and they did not disappoint. Especially the fries. We didn't not try the poutine as we thought it would be too hearty, but we were told it's their house special. For mains we had short lamb and beef ribs and unless you don't like lamb, you should absolutely try both! They were exceptional. Same if not better than the ones we had in the US. My only note is that the purée that comes with the beef ribs was a bit too heavy. Markus offers a very warm ambiance. There was live music that was in good harmony with the restaurant's decor. All in all it was a surprisingly pleasant experience. The price is reasonable. We paid about 350-400 TL for two (including 1 beer). Do make sure to make reservations. You can take a taxi to go there if you don't want to walk from the the itu-ayazaga metro station. We can't wait to return for more ribs!
