Basta! Street Food Bar

If you are traveling for food, and food is the first thing that you search for before your trip, this guide is for you! As a local from Istanbul, I collected my favorite food and drink spots located on the Asian side, in addition to the must-try food items, and how to eat them. Although the majority of the places are located in famous neighborhoods such as Kadikoy and Prince Islands sometimes you need to get away from the center to find the best food. This guide also covers these off-the-beaten-track locations. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ The list contains the following sections: ✔️Breakfast (Turkish Style & Continental) 🍳🥯 ✔️Local bistros where you can taste authentic ✔️Turkish cuisine. 🥘 ✔️Meze & Rakı Places (Meyhane)🧊🐟 ✔️Fine Dining 🥂⭐️ ✔️Cocktail Bars🍸 ✔️Pubs🍺 ✔️Wine House 🍷🍇 ✔️Street Food /Hangover Food 🌯🌭 ✔️International Cuisine 🍣🍱 ✔️Patisserie and Cafes☕️🍰🍨

Words are not enough to describe Istanbul. Home, history, love, devotion, melancholy, chaos, happiness, excitement, loneliness... if I had to be a city in the world, it would be Istanbul. Istanbul is like a movie whose ending you cannot predict, a poem that makes you cry when you read it, a song that reminds you of the past when you listen to it... I hope you enjoy this guide, which I have prepared with all my feelings and local recommendations.

Welcome to my completely unorganized but oh-so-helpful map of Istanbul! An absolute smorgasbord of my own travels and research, suggestions from friends and strangers, and many treasures found along the way, this is where I compile all things Istanbul for my future trips and yours.
