Bib Gourmand: good quality, good value cooking
Alaf is a bustling restaurant with a fabulous cocktail bar on the roof terrace – perfect for a romantic dinner for two overlooking Istanbul's eastern coastline. Chef Deniz cooks up dishes with various influences: sometimes it is inspired by Yörük cuisine, sometimes Kurdish, the list goes on. With his wood-fired oven, he enthusiastically melds authentic traditional Turkish recipes with new-age cooking methods. Whether it's al dente squid with an exciting Mediterranean twist using sun-dried tomatoes, or medium-rare goose breast elevated by satsuma and harissa, a diverse journey of discovery awaits your taste buds!

Generation Y Chefs
The food scene is changing both in terms of age and direction. Generation Y chefs approach food with passion. The more time they spend in the kitchen, the more they discover themselves and then hone their knowledge accordingly. They dream not of rediscovering the world, but rather of walking confidently down their own path and adding something of their own personality to the legacy they’ve inherited from great chefs before them – and by better recognizing and using what this land has to offer them.
