Another fantastic find on a small side street located near the Galata tower. We found this place…read morefirst during the day by accident. You climb down a few steeps stairs and then enter into a open cave like space that they have down a very good job of modernising into a wine and cheese cellar focused on highlighting local products. There is a wide selection of Turkish wines to choose from, so many that it can be quite overwhelming.
We returned one evening and for 30 TL per person we enjoyed a wine tasting of three wines, with individual plates of cold Hor'deurves. Or, we could also have chosen one wine, with a food item of our choice. But, we couldn't turn down the good deal. We were lucky as the place was packed and were able to get three seats by the bar area. There are several tables, but you need to make reservations in advance to sit there.
I wish there was a place like this back home that I could enjoy with friends on a Friday evening. You could tell this was a place locals liked to hang out and spend time. Who wouldn't!
