GREAT FOOD IN ISTANBUL?
Hi Stephanie,
For kebap, you may try Hamdi Restaurant www.hamdirestorant.com.tr at eminönü, develi restauran www.develikebap.com at samatya, but these resaurants are not cheap. You have to pay 40-50 USD/person starters+salad+kebap+wine
This season is ideal for sea food, but fish restaurant serving alcohol are expensive, instead you may try fish restaurant that are not serving alcohol
In Arnavutköy district you may try Adembaba, Takanik you will find fresh and cheap fish at these restaurants.You should eat fish like Lüfer, çinekop.
In additon to above you may try ottoman cusine Kanaat restaurant at uskudar, and Hacı Abdullah at istiklal street
Also for turkish tapas, Refik, Yakup 2, Cavit are good choices(not cheap as well)
