I like Çiço. It's a place my good old friend Merve discovered, next to Bir Büçük, but up an…read moreelevator to the top floor. 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! They have the so far best cheesecake I tried in Istanbul and there are several toppings to choose from. I can highly recommend the Tavuk chili con carne - perfectly spiced! The service is very good, the staff is always helpful and their english is very good.

This is one of the more overpriced and overrated burger joints in the city. The ambiance was nice…read more We ordered ShackMeister Burgers and Fries with Cheddar cheese. Burgers were small but tasty, a bit fatty for our taste. The burger bread tasted like fabricated (like Uno bread) instead of hand-made, which was unexpected for us. As for the fries, they were OKish, cheddar on top completely dominated the taste. Overall, the burgers were small and unsatisfying. We were expecting a different experience. If you are in the city, you can try other joints like Virginia Angus or Komsu Burger. Much better taste with similar price tag.

This place has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten so far. The quality of service is good and…read morethey have fast delivery. They have this buzzer machine which vibrates showing that your order is ready to pick up. So, it's a convenient method. The prices are reasonable due to the high quality of meat, bread and the brand itself for sure. :)) It's a bit pricey but the taste is amazing that you'll never forget. I always like to order Shake Burger and regular french fries. I generally eat double Shack which is obviously much bigger in size and meat and cheese as well. So, you guys should give this place a chance for sure. Just go there and choose any burger of your preferance and you won't regret it, believe me. That's just my opinion of course but most people like the taste and the burgers totally worth it, I mean it. :)

The Fettuccine Alfredo and Fajitas I got were both solid. The pasta was a little watery but tasted fine. Also I wish they served the Fajitas with rice and more beans. In the background you can hear music from like the 60's-70's I'm guessing. I still would come back though, its a nice relaxing place to pass time and talk with someone.

I've been meaning to try Tribeca's restaurant in Etiler since I discovered that they had a branch…read morehere. Judging from their location I had hoped that they had a garden similar to their branch in Yenikoy (now closed). While they do have seating outside it's not really a garden and it fell short of my expectations. I had the Texas bagel and we ordered Bruschetta to share. The waiter mixed up the order and brought me something else. When notified of the mistake he quickly apologized and changed my bagel. The bagel itself was good and the side salad was ok. I find the portions to be too small for the prize. The Texas bagel is priced 40₺ which is very expensive considering the size. The bruschetta was not good. The bagel they served it on was crumbly and the tomatoes weren't fresh. To end on a positive note. The interior design looks better than the outside seating. The waiters are kind, service is quick and the music was very nice. I don't think I'll return but if you want to try this place maybe go for breakfast instead of lunch. The breakfast menu looked much better.

Good for breakfast. The only cafe that serves bagel nearby. Has a garden which is great in summerread more

Beş Bıçak is a venue that it make query its name before visiting the venue. It reminds the cote of…read morearms of old times and asking yourself " Do they use five different knives when they prepare the meats? ". None of them is the right answer. Beş Bıçak Steakhosue is a meart heaven founded by 5 tough young men. The venue is located very far from us and center of Istanbul. When we asked the reason of this they told us there are not any venue in this region with a right taste and quality and that region needs a qualified venue. They have preferred to become the biggest in a small area instead of becoming a small option in a big region. The venue has been designed exactly as steakhouse concept. The inside area was very chic. They have a wooden bull head work with tide effect on the ceiling which we have not seen like that before. Dry aged meats were demonstrating in a nice fridge. Grill section was in a visible area but they do not bother you in sitting area. You can easily watch the how they cook the meats. We tried a lot of kinds as small portions on the evening of we went. Starters and warm starters; Zahter salad: It was a salad kind that we have never met in any steakhouse before. Its taste was balanced nicely. It was successful and very matching with the meats. We completly finished the salad plates. Smoked beef with cheddar sauce: They are preparing in a hot pot in front of you. Thanks to the taste of cheddar cheese we cleaned up our plates. They should decrease only the level of salt. B&B sausage with halloumi: The sausage prepared by themselves was delicious. Grilled oyster mushroom: It is a common taste for many steakhouses. They cooked it in a juicy and tasty way in here. It was the best one among the we have eaten before. As main course; Lokum: It was very soft like its name. We finished it in a short time. B&B Beef Special: They were the meats like döner cooked very shortly in the grill. Thin cut meat lovers will definetly love it. Dry aged entrecote: It was the most successful meat kind among serving ones. Its consistency and fattiness was superb. It should become the first choice. B&B Lamb Special: Grilled back meat of lamb are slicing and braising with fat in hot casserole. We loved the presentation and the taste as lamb lovers. Lamb Shoulder Tandoori: #tandooriislife. Its taste and consistency were perfect. We totally cleaned up it. You must watch the moment of extracting the bones from meat. B&B Burger: Its fattiness, taste of the meat, made from minced meat without sinewy, its breas and its sides. It was a wonderful burger with its everything. We ate local pistachio flaky pastry with icecream as dessert. Its taste was successful but it should be harder. It was softened a bit because of icecream. If they serve the icecream in a seperate cup it would be better. Service was successful, prices were affordable, ambiance was nice and also taste was good. If its location is appropriate for you there is no reason not to visit here. Do not miss their signature products starting with B&B.
