This restaurant-bar is a relaxed and friendly evening hang-out. We love kicking back on the terrace's cushions, munching spring rolls and watching the world go by with an Efes (500ml ₺22) in hand. The menu stars are its generously portioned Turkish classics, but there are also global pub-grub offerings of burgers, Aussie-style pies and fajitas plus interesting vegetarian options.

The well-stocked bar and nargile (water pipe) choice mean there are plenty of reasons to linger after your meal, plus there's an outdoor-table terrace and a cafe corner serving espresso-based coffee.
