Efendy

Occupying the house and courtyard of a venerable Balmain mansion, this immersive Turkish restaurant is a buzzy place designed for sociable dining on delicious meze morsels, charcoal-grilled meats and other delights. Modern ideas meet street-food tradition in a winning combination. Raki, Turkish-inspired cocktails and Anatolian wines are suitable accompaniments. There's also a sumptuous weekend breakfast spread ($35/15 per adult/child).
