My Favorite Places
Cafe Smyrna
Cafe Smyrna
One of the places-to-be in Cihangir. Modern, wealthy people come here read a newspaper, lunch or dine. Just a drink at the bar is also possible. If you’re going to dine, the meat dishes are recommended. Very tasty, and the glasses of wine are as good as made in Smyrna. Also a nice place to watch people.
Frame
Frame
This restaurant has a view where you can dream away and this also applies to the Interior of the restaurant. The most beautiful furniture make the picture really complete. Frame is highly recommended if you like good food in a trendy setting.
Meyra
Meyra
As soon as you walk in, you feel the positive atmosphere which prevails in this restaurant and café. The people that come here are difficult to capture in 1 Word: they are trendy, a little artistic and social. The open and friendly attitude of the staff of Meyra in Istanbul is good and the space itself is also very pleasant, you sit in a large open space that still feels cozy and you can spend hours on the terrace. Meyra is definitely a must in the Cihangir district which is near the Istiklal Caddesi.
Mihmandar Lokantasi
Mihmandar Lokantasi
In good weather you can eat outside on the terrace. It is well sheltered so it isn’t terrible when there is a breeze. Inside there is still a lot of space, what you won’t expect initially. Lokantasi Mihmandar is known for its good food. The card is not very extensive, but there is a lot of meat for the enthusiast. For dessert, there are all kinds of pudding on the menu.
Müzedechanga
Müzedechanga
Enjoy traditional Turkish cuisine at Müzedechanga, but with a modern twist. In addition to Turkish cuisine you can also enjoy international dishes.
