The Verdict
Yeni Lokanta, mentioned in both #michelin guide and WB50. A side street of the famous Istiklal Caddesi with cosy Mediterranean decor. #chef Civan Er has successfully managed in serving traditional Turkish flavours drawing on original ideas with a contemporary spin. The restaurant is committed to seasonality and local produce vegetables. The result is fresher and lighter dishes that lose none of their exuberance.
