Michelin-starred Neolokal is a restaurant that builds a bridge between the old and the new, interpreting flavors from the past with contemporary ideas and techniques. A venue that uses local products (including quality Turkish wines), has a vegetarian menu, and emphasizes sustainability by working with local suppliers. Stuffed meatballs consisting of minced meat, bulgur, pine nuts and hazelnuts seasoned with light spices are among our recommendations. Eating here is a pleasure in itself, with large windows and a wonderful terrace, as well as a magnificent view of Istanbul’s rooftops and majestic mosques. Neolocal is a truly special place.
