Uçuncu Mevki: Student Fare
1 response - Posted 03.12.10
In Istanbul, the plight of the ogrenci, or student, is felt by most vendors. “C’mon we’re students,” is a familiar bargaining mantra that applies to the purchase of a jean jacket, bus tickets and just about everything in between. No need to pull that routine at Uçuncu Mevki, a homey restaurant on a Beyoglu backstreet: Here, everyone benefits from generous ... continue -
Hey EU, Hands off my doner!

Turkey’s EU accession talks have raised a lot of important questions on reform, accompanied by predictable growing pains.

Just as we thought we had managed to break out of our Beyoglu dining rut, we found ourselves once again trawling the neighborhood’s streets for places to eat.

Don’t people just love to fight about food? Punch ups over which city makes the best pizza, brawls about what’s the right way to barbecue.

With its outings along the Bosphorus, one thing that the recent Istanbul-centric episode of Anthony Bourdain’s “No Reservations” television show made us realize was how much we tend to get stuck in our own little Beyoglu bubble. Granted, Istanbul’s “downtown” zone has enough restaurants to keep all but the most jaded eater happy, but it’s never good to get into ... continue -
Since You Asked: Istanbul’s Fish Scene?
8 responses - Posted 02.24.10
I am just back home from a cruise to Turkey, which included a short stay in Istanbul. I was pleasantly surprised to find such a strong seafood culture there. Shame on me for expecting lamb, lamb and more lamb! I indulged and managed to identify some of the fish I ate, but I didn’t catch the name and preparation of ... continue -
The Best Little Fish House in Galata Gets a Bit Bigger

Good news for those who have tried to eat at Furreyya Galata Balikcisi, the winning fish house near the Galata tower, only to find the tiny place full: the restaurant has recently remodeled, doubling its number of tables. Bad news for those who have tried to eat at Furreyya, only to find the tiny place full: the restaurant is bigger, ... continue
