16. April 2011: Bar Venta del Toro
The Mojito (18 TL) is quite good and strong but it takes the bar tender ages to actually prepare it. The beer (7,5 TL) is somewhat expensive for Istanbul. The atmosphere in the bar is nice (it’s way darker in there in the evening than shown in the picture) and the music played is good […]
16. April 2011: Restaurant Asitane
The first impression of the Restaurant Asitane does not fit what it actually offers. The restaurant is located in the middle of nowhere and pretty hard to find and you basically have no chance of finding it accidentally if you don’t know its exact location. Once you’ve found it though, the impression definitely changes. The […]
16. April 2011: Enginar Bar
The Restaurant Enginar is a restaurant which is located close to the Galata Tower and to be honest, I can’t tell you how the food tastes as we didn’t try it because it is somehow an Italian restaurant. At least the dishes we saw being served all looked Italian (pasta, lasagna, and so on). But […]
16. April 2011: Restaurant under Galata Kpr.
The fish is astonishingly good in the tourist places under the Galata Kpr. bridge – something I wouldn’t have expected. But you have to be firm in order to ensure that you’re not being ripped off. A portion of tuna costs 18 TL which is somewhat okay compared to Swiss prices but really expensive if […]
15. April 2011: Club 360 Istanbul
The club 360 Istanbul is probably the most famous one in whole Istanbul – at least every single person who has been to Istanbul and I talked to about clubs has been there – apparently. And actually, I can understand why. The 360 Istanbul is a great place with an amazing view all over Istanbul. […]
15. April 2011: 5. Kat Bar
The 5. Kat Bar is on the 5th floor (I suppose Kat means floor) and has a roof top bar too from which you can look all over the bosporus. It is really beautiful and the view is just great. Unfortunately, the pictures are a bit dark but you should just imagine, how great it […]
15. April 2011: Restaurant Sohbet Ocakbaşı
The Restaurant Sohbet Ocakbaşı is a typical Turkish restaurant – we were by far the only tourists in the restaurant. We ordered a nice selection of different meze for the starter (each 5 TL). The spinach (left side of the picture below) was absolutely tasty – really great in taste. The eggplants were quite good […]
15. April 2011: Roof Top Bar in the Golden City Hotel
We accidently found the Roof Top Bar in the Golden City Hotel – and it definitely is a great spot. From the top floor of the hotel you can see all over the Bosporus – it’s just an amazing view you have from there. The furniture on top of the hotel is also pretty nice […]
