Eat good fish in Istanbul is possible if to know the places!
Apart Meyhane you can eat very good fish in the most luxurious restaurants on the Bosphorus in a tropical paradise.These places are generally more expensive and unfortunately not all very good.
Here is our selection of the best restaurants in Istanbul fish:
Eftalya
Eftalya: Although a bit expensive this restaurant is in my opinion one of the best. I find it hard to recommend something because everything is good and dishes vary by season. Located in the chic Arnatuvtoky located on the European side between the two bridges, the setting of this restaurant is fabulous. The fruits of the sea are of excellent quality. For a table with a nice view booking is essential.
Jacob
Yakup 2 : In the heart of Taksim, in Asmalimescit, open since 1982 this restaurant is perfect to go taste some mezzes and drink raki, the atmosphere is very friendly. I advise you to sit on the terrace at the second floor of the restaurant.In this very touristy neighborhood quality is often not at the rendezvous, so really if you're going to eat in the neighborhood here! Remember to book as it is often full.
Try
Kiyi : In the district of Tarabya north of the Bosphorus, kiyi is an institution that opened in 1964 Everything is delicious.The place does not have a patio, this is the only little less with the price which is quite high.
Karakoy Lokantasi
Karakoy Lokantasi : Authentic Seafood restaurant is located in the district of Karakoy facing Eminonu. The restaurant is cozy, there is not much choice in terms of food, I suggest you take the mezze platter rather than fish, the ratioquality price is excellent and the ingredients are very fresh. If you're in the neighborhood I really recommend you get there rather than going to restaurants from the Galata Bridge which are tourists jokes of poor quality . This restaurant is very often full whatever the time of day, consider booking.
Uskumru
Uskumru : An exceptional place that is only accessible by boat. To get there go on the dock at Rumeli Hisari and take the boat to the other side of the shore of the Bosphorus. The period from April to October is the best to get there. You can eat the waterfront. An experience not manquer.Allez here in the evening or on a sunny afternoon. Entries are superb, sea bass with basil or squid a la plancha with walnuts and many others. This place is very popular, have a nice table reservations are required. The price is high but largely offset by the framework and the quality of products
Akin Back
Akin Balik: This is a restaurant in outdoor located in a garden next to the fish market in Karakoy. The atmosphere is very nice, very friendly. Everything is very good, fresh fish and the prices are reasonable. There is often a lot of people, consider booking.
Balikci Sabahattin
Balikçi Sabahattin : Located in the Sultanahmet district, it is for us one of the few good restaurants fish located in this part of the city. Sign of quality, although this restaurant located in the tourist area of Istanbul predominantly Turkish customers. The price is high but justified by the quality of the products.
Ismet Baba
Ismet Baba : Located on the Asian side , in the district of Kuzguncuk This restaurant opened in 1951 on the Bosphorus everything is absolutely delicious and the price is reasonable. It is a traditional place, the decor is very simple. If you visit the area Kuzguncuk during the day it is a place not to be missed.
