Cuma belongs to the list of Istanbul gems in the Michelin guide. This fine-dining restaurant caters to local and seasonal flavours in its daily changing menu. Cuma is modern, fun, and fresh. Just imagine being refreshed with their Lemon-basil cocktail during a hot afternoon. To top off dinner or brunch, browse among their desserts and fine delicacies like their Raspberry pavlova and if you are too full, at least drink a cup of their authentic Turkish coffee. 

Tavern describes itself with the following words: "cocktails + sexy lil bites + dinner and dance parties". There's not much more than we can add except: "…worth it!!". 

Norre is one of the hippest places for brunch in the city. Enjoy a savoury avo toast and scrambled eggs with focaccia or, for those with a sweet tooth: try their cinnamon rolls and tiramisu. Enjoy an iced latte outdoors during summer and once the temperature starts to drop, visit often for their variety of teas and comforting pastries. 

One of Istanbul's most iconic dining experiences, 1924 Istanbul was founded by Russians fleeing the Bolshevik Revolution. Over the years, it has hosted royals, civil servants, politicians and spies, serving Eastern European classics with a modern twist (and lots of Vodka) to the crème de la crème.
