House of Medusa

4.5

Favorite restaurant in Istanbul, located at the heart of Sultanahmet and therefore close to many of the essential places to see in Istanbul. Delicious Turkish food, with a very good price quality ratio. Besides, dinner in the garden is a wonder.

Albura Kathysma

4.6

In the early 1990s, a Greek family renewed a lovely Ottoman house and opened Albura in the cobbled streets of Akbıyık Caddesi. Quality attracted locals and travelers, making Albura one of the most popular restaurants in Sultanahmet. The chef's specialties include jumbo shrimp to wok and cevizli kuzu (lamb with nuts). You can choose to have dinner inside the cozy Ottoman home or on the elegant terrace by the street, outdoors in summer and closed in winter. At the end you can walk to the back of the terrace and find the entrance to one of Istanbul's best kept secrets: the well-preserved Byzantine ruins of the Magaura Palace. Take your time to explore this structure similar to an IV-century basilica that inspired the design of the Kremlin Palace of Moscow and the Basilica of St. Mark of Venice. At its peak, the palace was decorated in gold and silver, providing a great stage for the Byzantine emperors to welcome the dignitaries to Constantinople.

Istanbul Enjoyer

4.7

An absolute success, it is one of those recommended by many travelers. His waiter speaks Spanish, calls himself Antonio and makes you feel especially comfortable, not too expensive and the food is great, especially the testi kebab, which has nothing to do with the kebab we all know, is a stew in a kind of mud jar that once heated must be broken to serve it, very curious... and very rich.

Typical Turkish food in an exceptional setting. Crossing the Eminönü district, presiding over the square is the Hamdi Restaurant. He's one of the best known.
