One of Istanbul's iconic restaurants and a popular lunch spot, Karaköy Lokantası is perhaps best known for its heavenly hünkar beğendi, a remnant of Ottoman palace cuisine made with slow-cooked beef on a creamy bed of mashed eggplant. At dinner time, Karaköy Lokantası tranforms into one of the best meyhanes in town with its outstanding meze, best enjoyed with a tall glass of rakı of course. The fava bean purée is an excellent starter while the grilled octopus is our favourite main dish on the menu.
