You could hear the beefs cooking from the kitchen. We ordered four cheeseburger menus and one chicken burger menu. It came with chips and a soft drink. All the burgers were delicious: the meat grilled, fresh tomato, cheese, onions and pickles. The chips were the best we've had yet in Turkey! Excellent food. The menus are priced around 17-25 TL, which is a reasonable price. If you're going to get a burger in Istanbul, this should be the place!

Jimmy's Burger still remains the best burger and fries combo I had in Istanbul.

Not sure if Baltazar is from an entrepreneur, but it definitely feels like. So someone with enough investment wanted to start a new franchise. You know what i like better, restaurants opened up by chef's who put their years of hard work, their soul, and their heart. It's a general problem with Karakoy area, so many cool places, but you feel everything is artificial. Just like Baltazar. I'm sure given a few more years these places will start to find their character. One kudos to them, their meat is really really tasty. But they really need the attention, care, and passion to cook it better and serve it better. They should goo look for traditional Turkish restaurants and learn from their care for their food and customers. If a steak house brings you well done, even though you asked medium, it's just not caring. I'm sure they know how to cook medium. Ohh... And I asked for an espresso and they said the machine is not working. I told them they are surrounded by cafes go and bring me from one of them. They thought about it, discussed it and after 5 mins they brought me a cup from the cafe next door. Any good Turkish restaurant would do it in a heartbeat, without a debate. So you see good service is not a decision, it's an impulse.

Keep climbing to sit on the terrace, which is nice in winter or summer, but sometimes crowded/full. One of the good things about Çiço is its reasonably priced and wide selection of beer. Another is the fact that you can get a 70ml beer, which is always good. As the restaurant has a sort of Mexican theme, you can even get nachos, which are the best I've had in Istanbul. The menu is a bit pricey here and there, but totally fine for a central and cool place near Istiklal. Go for a bite to eat and a chat with a few friends; a nice place to pre-game and get delicious foods (huuuuge selection).

The food is inspired by the Mexican cuisine, and there are plenty to choose from but please save room for the dessert!

The service is very good, the staff is always helpful and their english is very good.
