A place with a beautiful view. The price tag is average for a tourist destination. Take a meze and sit by the window, which is exactly what the Turks do. We took the squid fries, served with some kind of cheese sauce, 650lr for 5 rings, well, that's it. Many meze for 200 lire, took another 850 lire sea bass, brought bread and water and immediately included in the bill. For understanding, they take you to the showcase and show you the fish that is currently there and how it can be cooked, as well as with meze, they will show you what is now available and you can choose. The view from the windows is very captivating. But the tables by the window are either occupied or on reservation.

One of the most delicious fish in my life was eaten here, sea bass, juicy, with a crispy crust. They cook very well. The menu is in Turkish, not all the fish is available. Full landing. The fish is 850 lire.

It's a good place with a view of the Bosphorus, there's not much room, and the tables are packed. We were given a menu in Turkish))) but they brought a large tray with snacks to show everything clearly, and they took me to show and choose the fish. Very tasty, large portions

Delicious fish. We took perch (cipura) on the grill. Mackerel and sea bass meze with interesting flavors that reveal the fish. The only good places are few, and almost everything is occupied.

An authentic place with a history and a great view of the Bosphorus and delicious fish dishes. I especially liked the mackerel and fried squid.

Sooo delicious fish! We took MINEKOP (I still didn't understand how in Russian))) on the grill. Appetizer sea bass in marinade. Everything is fine. The place is interesting, not a standard "restaurant" on the Sultanahmet side. They didn't find any similar ones there, maybe they didn't go there))

The fish was delicious, but the waiter was a bit weird. They said one person is one fish. That is, you can't take one serving, for example, for two. And some of the dishes include 4 fish. It's a little weird. And all the time we were sitting, the waiter was passing by our table like a supervisor. It was both funny and a little unpleasant.

You know, it's delicious, the prices are like everywhere else in Turkey, but the food and the attitude of the staff are a credit.

Saturday May 3rd, we went to the restaurant at noon. When we went to the restaurant, the glass-sided tables were full. Before our orders arrived, those sitting at the glass-sided table got up and availability occurred, but they immediately put the reservation letter on the table. When we told the waiter that we wanted to go to the table, they said that another chef was interested and asked. There was no permission from the other official :) then people who did not have reservations came and asked if they could sit by the window that they did not have reservations, they allowed them anyway. What kind of business is this, what kind of customer satisfaction. Then my wife took the sin food from her plate and they immediately lifted the plate in front of her, so we said that our order was missing and the squid still hadn't arrived. They said there is a little intensity. They've officially made it a eat-and-go situation. And when I expressed this, please don't do it, they made statements like etc. When the squid came, we saw that the hair came out and we could not eat. No one has apologized. By the way, we left at noon and the restaurant was empty for more than half of it. Dec. I mentioned the issue to the officials on the way out, but they sent me off with a smile. So it was for sure that I would enjoy it more if I ate fish bread. Don't go, don't throw your money in the trash. You will find a restaurant where you pay the same price you eat there, the same view or even better, and where you really pay proper attention to it. It is also doubtful how much we are already in my eyes.

the BBC, which has been serving for 45-50 years, is a beautiful place with a certain audience, raki and legendary appetizers, even the employees with black and white pictures of old regulars at the entrance, the newest of which is 20 years old.There is an easy transportation option of bus, minibus and taxi at a distance of 300m from my house

The atmosphere was mediocre, the appetizer variety was low, but the fish was delicious. We asked for halva, there was no hot halva. We said cornbread, but there was no that either

Rare places that never change, but I don't go because I'm getting stressed, because the credit card is going through or not, which atm I'm finally tired of dealing with closely. However, both the service and the capabilities of the kitchen and the warm place in winter, and there has always been a different taste of raki .

They were not allowed in, referring to the fact that there are no fish. Although we didn't ask about her, we wanted to have dinner. Maybe, of course, the place is only for locals. Who knows. There were free seats, but we didn't sit down.
