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 European side, in addition to the must-try food items. Although the majority of the places are located in famous neighborhoods such as Fatih (Historical Peninsula), Karakoy, Beyoglu, Besiktas, and Tarabya, 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 🍳🥯 ✔️Fine Dining 👩‍🍳⭐🍾 ✔️Kebab ✔️Authentic Turkish Cuisine & Street Food 🥘🌯🌭 ✔️Meyhaneler (Meze & Rakı Places) & Seafood Restaurants🐟🧊 ✔️Pubs/ Cocktail Bars/Wine House 🍷🍺🍸 ✔️International Cuisine 🍣🍱🍜 ✔️Traditional Sweets, 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.

While traveling, figuring out the day-to-day sightseeing activities can be easy, but determining the best places to eat can be a challenge. In this guide I share the best places to dine in Istanbul - from coffee shops to high-end restaurants to hole-in-the-wall dessert spots. Upon purchase, you'll receive my curated list of 25 places to dine while you're in Istanbul, Turkey!
