Haci Abdullah

Haci AbdullahClaiming to be the oldest restaurant in Istanbul, its bright, freshly-painted walls give the three rooms a contemporary atmosphere. By far the most pleasant room is the one out the back; you’ll find pink tones, a skylight and a glittering old world chandelier.

The English menu lists a vast selection of Turkish and Ottoman delights. It’s an excellent place for lunch. A colourful display of preserved pickles and fruits brightens up the entrance. Try the Kunefe for dessert; it’s to die for.
