Istanbul (TR)
27. December 2013 – 2. January 2014: Club Lounge @ Le Méridien Etiler
The breakfast choices are rather small but I think the selection is sufficient to ensure that you have enough to eat to start the day. The Club Lounge at the Le Méridien Etiler is located on the 14th floor and has quite a nice interior. The view is good, the decoration is nice, the place […]
29. December 2013: Restaurant Sunset Grill & Bar
The Sunset Grill & Bar is an In-Restaurant in Istanbul and I frankly understand why – great view all over the Bosphorus, truly stunning. I mean, I do understand why people go and dine here: because the view is breath-taking. But, frankly, although the Sunset is part of the Chaîne des Rôtisseurs which raised my […]
29. December 2013: SIP @ W Istanbul Hotel
The “Char Grilled Burger” (32.00 TRL) at the SIP in the W Istanbul was not entirely to my liking. While the meat patty itself was fine and also served warm the pre-applied sauce was rather scarce but pimped with some mayonnaise and ketchup it was fine overall. The only thing which was definitely a downer […]
28. December 2013: Restaurant Gile
The “Gile Degustation Menu” including wine pairing (220 TRL) is the signature menu of the chef – and it is worth trying. The menu started with a glass of “Kayra Cameo” champagne which was nicely dry and served to a “green apple, celery soup with orange oil” – at first the soup had a very […]
28. December 2013: Restaurant Nar Steak & Döner
The Restaurant Nar Steak & Döner is located close to the Hagia Sophia and the Blue Mosque – therefore, it is quite touristic but nevertheless it is quite okay. I started with “Humus” (10 TRL) which was tasty … … but basically the freshly baked pita bread which was served with it really made my […]
17. April 2011: Restaurant Galata Kiva
We decided to have a last time Turkish food before leaving Istanbul already again – and we went for the Restaurant Galata Kiva which is located right next to the Galata Tower. And it was a mistake! At first we were considering not going because it looks like a classical tourist place but it looked […]
17. April 2011: Bar in the Restaurant Wisteria
The atmosphere in the restaurant Wisteria is great – you enter through a large entrance made of stone into a patio. The interior is nicely decorated and if you go inside, you find yourself in a stone wall cellar which is modernly decorated. It is mainly a restaurant but we’ve been there for beers only […]
17. April 2011: Restaurant at the Fish Market
The Hamsi (5 TL) is definitely the most recommendable dish you can find in the restaurant at the fish market – it’s a plate full of little grilled fishes which are served with salad and onions and only cost 5 TL. And believe me, the plate is more than enough to actually satisfy your hunger. […]
