Tucked away down a side street off the famous İstiklal Avenue, this is a bright Mediterranean-style space with a bustling yet welcoming atmosphere that perfectly reflects Istanbul's spirit – welcome to Yeni Lokanta! The chef's original and sensitive approach brings a fresher, lighter quality to Turkish flavours without sacrificing their exuberance. For example, slices of beetroot are confit and accompanied by dried sour cherries, hazelnuts, Ezine cheese and a herb oil in a bold starter. Order à la carte or opt for the set menu (a curated selection) to see how the focus on vegetables, local produce and Turkish wines makes this dining experience all the more engaging.
