Established in 1935, this inviting, always busy little eatery allows you to experience the buzz of the Fish Market without purchasing from the fishmongers. The delightful mezes and mains include calamari, octopus, prawns with garlic butter and chilli. Locals favour rakı (aniseed brandy) with their fish and seafood, though there's also a decent wine list of Turkish and international bottles.
