As regular readers will know, I've gotten to know New York City's Turkish food circuit like the back of my hand. However, predictably, even NYC's best has nothing on the offering of Istanbul. This past week, I've been given an insiders opportunity to literally devour everything this Ottoman city has to offer.
So far, here are my two favorite restaurants in Istanbul:
Reina:
With a choice of five restaurants ranging from Mediterranean to Japanese, I enjoyed the scenic bosphorus view while having delectable tastes from around the world. Enjoy a quiet dinner while the sun sets but be prepared for the music to keep getting louder as the night progresses. Around 10 the tables will start to vanish and Reina will transform into Istanbul’s most famous outdoor nightclub. Watch famous people piling in to the main bar in the middle and dance the night away with your friends.
Anjelique:
A 3 story mansion in Ortakoy that will redefine your summer nights by the Bosphorus. Enjoy seductive different tastes from around the world while sitting in beautifully decorated, trendy rooms. Anjelique is best known for its DJ, elite crowd and ambiance. Enjoy oldies but goodies in the 80’s themed lounge or move to the beat of house music on the main floor.
