Ksenia Mardina
This place at the Culinary Institute is a treasure trove of surprises – new menu every day with top Turkish food cooked from seasonal products only – they have gardens in the north of the Aegean Sea. You can munch on soups and dolma or try Jerusalem artichoke stew with yogurt lemon sauce. There is a deli on the first floor – a great place for breakfast, jams or berry drinks. Sometimes they arrange culinary Istanbul tours – a great solution to try everything yummy if you are short of time.
