What visitors found — and where it took them

🇬🇧

Sarah M.

London

Found the most incredible Bosphorus-view restaurant for our anniversary. The ratings here are spot-on — no tourist traps, only gems.

Berlin

As someone obsessed with fresh fish, the seafood filter saved me hours of research. Three perfect dinners, three different neighbourhoods.

The neighbourhood breakdowns are incredibly detailed. Found a local breakfast spot in Kadikoy that wasn't on any other travel site.

Used the Food Matcher quiz — it gave me exactly what I wanted on the first try. Best Adana kebap of my life, found in 30 seconds.

Dining in Istanbul — Tips

🗺️

Where to Eat by Area

Beyoglu & Karakoy for trendy bistros. Eminonu & Fatih for traditional Turkish. Besiktas & Kadikoy for local neighbourhood spots. Bosphorus villages (Bebek, Arnavutkoy) for scenic seafood.

💰

Tipping Culture

Tipping is expected. 10–15% is standard for sit-down restaurants. Many places add a service charge — check the bill. Card payments widely accepted in most mid-range and above venues.

📅

Reservations

Popular spots fill fast on Friday–Saturday evenings. Book at least 2–3 days ahead for fine dining. Casual lokantas and pide salons rarely need reservations.

🕐

Meal Times

Lunch runs 12:00–15:00, dinner from 19:00 onwards. Many restaurants close between meals. Breakfast culture is strong — weekend brunch tables often need booking.
