Asmalı Cavit

Located on Asmalı Mescit street in the heart of Beyoğlu, Asmalı Cavit is an intimate meyhane (Turkish tavern) and a cherished institution among its many loyal patrons. If you feel like blending in with the locals, secure a reservation at Asmalı Cavit. Chances are, your neighbouring table will be a regular and on a first-name basis with their waiter, a testament to the restaurant’s unwavering quality of service and food. Surf and turf is de rigueur here, so don’t be afraid to pair seafood classics like the octopus salad or a sizzling hot plate of buttery karides güveç (shrimp casserole) with meaty delights like muska böreği (meat stuffed filo pastry triangles) or yaprak ciğer (thin slices of liver fried with onions).
