Greetings, Travel Partner!
Istanbul is one of those world-class cities you can visit any time of the year and always find so much to adore. It is one of the reasons why so many travelers return over and over again.
Last month, The Los Angeles Times Travel Section featured an interesting article entitled "A food critic eats her way across Istanbul." The author offered some recommendations for dining in various parts of the city. The one thing you can really count on in Istanbul is its fabulous cuisine. From street carts to exquisite gourmet restaurants - Istanbul provides no end of satisfaction for the gastronomic connoisseur.
Here are a couple of favorite restaurants that you can recommend to your clients traveling to the city that bridges Europe and Asia:
Sekiz Istanbul - Kuloglu Mah. 1 Erol Dernek Sokak, Beyoglu. The lively restaurant with an open kitchen is set in the heart of the Beyoglu district. Chef Maksut Askar creates modern Turkish cuisine with a global flair - using ingredients he obtains from local resources. http://www.sekizistanbul.com
Kantin - 30 Akkavak Sokagi, Nisantasi. The farm-to-table restaurant in the upscale Nisantasi neighborhood under the ownership of chef Semsa Denizsel creates a delicious list of 14 dishes each day - using the freshest ingredients, locally sourced. Chef Denuzsek is also well known for her unforgettable bread and tasty desserts. http://www.kantin.biz
