Galata Restaurant Istanbul, Turkey

Reservations are absolutely essential on weekends to get a table at this popular eating place, housed in a restored historic building in the center of town. Dinner guests will bask in its warm, convivial atmosphere which is complemented by rousing live music every night of the week. The meals here are good, if not exceptional. You will get a set meal-a tray holding a selection of traditional Meze is available to choose from and two alternative main dishes and desserts are also on offer. This is very good value for money and a truly Turkish experience.
