Ksenia Mardina
One of the best seafood places in the city, which has not been mentioned in every guidebook yet. It's all about simplicity – tables right by the Bosphorus, ship-watching and friendly waiters. The place has no reservations, so hurry to get a table before dawn. If everything is taken, the staff will figure something out for you. There is no menu – you'll be offered today's catch. Try their fava beans and homemade baklava cooked by the wife of one of the waiters.
