One Star: High quality cooking
MICHELIN Green Star
Neolokal bridges the gap between old and new. Respect for Turkish culinary traditions provides the foundation on which this restaurant is able to constantly renew itself. Flavours from the past are the mainstays here and are metamorphosed by the use of contemporary ideas and techniques. Maksut Aşkar and his young team preserve their culinary heritage and guide it into the future with their exciting cuisine. This also involves an emphasis on sustainability, with a vegetarian menu, using carefully selected local produce (including fine Turkish wines!) and working with nearby suppliers. Chef Aşkar puts his stamp on authentic recipes with a quirky subtlety. Think succulent dumpling with minced beef and bulgur, pine nuts and nuts seasoned with mild spices. A creamy emulsion of yoghurt with paprika and a parsley oil round off this light, original dish beautifully. The restaurant's location, in the Salt Galata, makes your experience all the more memorable. The large windows and fabulous terrace afford superb views of Istanbul's rooftops and magnificent mosques. Neolokal is truly special.
"Our goal is to preserve the flavors of our childhood memories, cultural values and culinary traditions for future generations. Our approach to sustainability places an emphasis on social and cultural aspects as we believe that those who cannot preserve their past cannot have a future. We connect with nature by engaging with the soil, observing seasonal cycles, and experimenting with seeds. With respect for the past and a hopeful vision for the future, we aim to carry these flavors forward."
