MARKET DISTRICT AND MORE IN ISTANBUL, TURKEY
Kadiköy, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus south of Uskudar has a vibrant restaurant scene in its colorful market area only a short stroll from the Kadıköy ferry docks.
Kadiköy, on the Asian shore of the Bosphorus south of Uskudar has a vibrant restaurant scene in its colorful market area only a short stroll from the Kadıköy ferry docks.
It's a great
place to go for lunch after a browse in the market, or drinks and dinner in the
evening. Drinks—specifically alcoholic beverages—are more in evidence here
because Kadıköy is more secular and less religious than some other parts of the
city.
The market
is a particularly appealing one, with bright fruits and vegetables, lots of
fish, and a variety of good restaurants with sidewalk tables in fair weather.
Among the
most famous restaurants here is Ciya Sofrasi, Güneşlibahçe Sokak No. 43, serving unusual Turkish regional vegetarian cuisine
(nearby Çiya Kebap serves lots of grilled meats for the non-vegetarian crowd.)
Not far
away, Yanyali Fehmi Lokantasi, Yağlıkçı İsmail Sokak No. 1 (ask anyone), is Kadıköy's
oldest restaurant (1919), with a garden-like terrace at the back.
