Extremely friendly host and food, which while not of the very highest standard was certainly adequate,makes this a great find not far from the main tourist area of Sultanahmet. We enjoyed a splendid platter of sardines and then delicious sea bass with a fine white wine chosen from what is a limited selection. The eating space extends to the street... More

This restaurant is just off the main street in Sultanahmet and what a good find it is. The service is so friendly from the owner and he really does know his fish. The qulaity of the sea bass in salt is amazingly good, and the price is 20% cheaper than on the main street. This is the perfect restaurant for... More

The owner of this place definitely knows what he's doing, so do yourselves a favour and trust him. Seeing that we were a bit undecided on what food to get, he suggested we should have the sea bass and oh he was right - it ended up being a lovely meal with such big portions as we ate the whole...

We entered this restaurant totally by chance, it was next to the Cagaloglu Hamam we just went and just after the Antiochland restaurant where we dined the evening before. The owner was extremely nice and he let us try the fish soup and the wine before we actually ordered both. He suggested the salt sea bass which was over a... More

Wonderful friendly restaurant. All the dishes we had were very good especially the calamari starter. My wife had roasted halva for dessert, it was brilliant ....be adventurous and try it. The dark Efes beer was also very good. Everything about the restaurant was excellent and the price was very fair.

It was our third evening in Istanbul, and this is the first restaurant we have come across where the service was 'Normal', in other words, not complete chaos! Actually it was far better than that with Octav ensuring that all diners were having a good time - almost treating us as guests in his own home. The food was great... More

the sea bass prepared under sea salt was fabulous. well priced and huge. the menu says that it's for two and weighs 1kg. I think the meat itself was 1kg, excluding bones! it was a huge fish and huge portion. don't over order if you're planning on getting that; and really? why get anything else?!!

I had several wonderful meals at this restaurant. The 'salt fish' was served after it was set a flame at our table and the taste was delightful and not at all salty. (I hate to taste salt at all) The salt was used to prepare the fish. The food was delightful and we tried many appetizers and entrees. It was... More
