Where to eat in İstanbul

Every place on this page is listed with its address, category, signature dishes and, where there is one, its menu. Foodnomad's editors add and publish the places; ratings are calculated from travellers' approved reviews.

Frequently asked questions

Where should I start in İstanbul?

Narrow the list by choosing one of the categories above, or see the places on the map. Each card shows the place's signature dish or type and its district; the address, the menu where there is one and the reviews are on the place's own page. The categories with the most places in İstanbul: Restaurant, Kebab House and Patisserie & Desserts.

How are ratings calculated?

A rating is the average of the reviews travellers have left that passed moderation. It is rounded to one decimal place and shown next to the number of reviews; a place with no approved review yet is listed without a rating.

Are the menus up to date?

We collect menus and prices from the places' own menus and keep them current with Foodnomad's editors. Every menu shows when and where its prices were taken. Prices change often, so we recommend checking with the place before you go.
