The menu features options such as beef cheeks braised in red wine and served with truffle purée or pappardelle with rabbit ragù. And let's be honest: who can resist a good old classic like tiramisu to cap it all off?"

Start, for example, with pickled sea bream with green apple and a splash of lime juice, then follow that up with melt-in-your-mouth charcoal-roasted lamb cutlets with parsley, olive oil and onion – straightforward and delicious.

Seray wins hearts with her love for regional wines, presenting them with expertise and surprising us, for instance, with a Chamlija Riesling, 2024, from Baglari. Her digestif trolley is nothing short of outstanding. Her love of the local terroir is shared by her chef husband, and he sources whatever he does not grow himself from nearby producers whenever possible. Every six weeks his set menu changes to keep pace with the seasons. This also fuels his creativity and shapes the direction of his sensual, refined cuisine, which has a strong sense of place.For instance, he cooks prawns to a perfect, still-translucent finish, allowing their delicate flavour to shine through. Okra and baby sweetcorn are grilled over a wood fire to unlock their full intensity, and a silky corn sauce brings these exuberant flavours together with a touch of sweetness. At Vino Locale, ingredients take centre stage in a set menu that strikes the right balance between meat, fish and plant-based foods (a vegetarian set menu is available; lunch is à la carte only). Every so often, subtle details betray his fondness for the cuisines of Italy and Asia – his gyoza are as wonderful as his sauces! The restaurant itself has something of a trattoria feel – the art-covered walls, cheerful atmosphere and romantic terrace make its appeal irresistible. Guaranteed to be a memorable dining experience."

      "description_en": "Fatih Tutak expresses his love for his Turkish terroir here, showcasing ingredients from the region and produce from local traders on a daily basis. This is a chef who cooks with respect for tradition and what nature has to offer. Familiar flavours are given a new dimension, and centuries-old practices are tailored to the zeitgeist. Part of his originality lies in his nuanced use of delicate acidity and smoky flavours. Pide, straight from the oven, is served with three kinds of butter – buffalo, cow's-milk butter and beurre noisette – turning the apparently simple to the sublime. Or try the perfectly grilled Black Sea turbot with black truffle, a wonderfully creamy, intensely flavoured sauce prepared from the bones and that has been dehydrated then rehydrated. Exuberant bold flavours are this chef's trademark. Be sure to peruse the fantastic wine list with its abundance of Turkish labels – we were bowled over by the Paşaeli 6N Karasakiz. Hors d'oeuvres are served in ALVU, a lounge that boasts magnificent city views. Then you move to the intimate main dining space, where you can watch the chefs in action. (Book the chef’s table for the ultimate experience!) For dessert, you are invited into the open kitchen of this chic establishment. This is an adventure from start to finish, guided by the inspiring work of Fatih Tutak."

In brief, he grew up in Istanbul, trained in France, and matured as a chef in the United States. You also get a sense of his journey in his dishes. His spicy twist on a vol-au-vent, featuring al dente green asparagus and a lively gribiche sauce, showcases his understanding of French cooking. The chef seamlessly blends classic techniques with Asian flavours, for example in his perfectly seared sea bass, which he elevates with the intense sweet and sour complexity of a Thai sauce. The versatility of this cuisine will keep you on your toes throughout the entire meal. The vintage feel of this stylish 1960s villa is a perfect match for Cenk Debensason's personality. Be sure to visit the Listening Room on the upper floor before or after your meal to enjoy a delicious drink and the chef's carefully curated playlist – sometimes DJs also play. Alternatively, explore Ritmo, an atmospheric space in the same building where you can choose from a small mezze menu. A visit to Arkestra is an experience you won't forget in a hurry."

You’re actually in the Yeniköy district, in the north of the city, just beyond the exclusive marina you pass on the way (taking the Bosphorus ferry over is a must). Behind its charming façade, this rural-style restaurant awaits with its cosy, romantic interior and a terrace to the rear where you feel cut off from the world. This enchanting spot perfectly suits Zeynep Pınar Taşdemir's highly individual style. Seasonal ingredients are showcased on the menu. The young chef likes to express her creativity with vegetables and herbs. Pumpkin puree is imbued with the potent freshness of za'atar and combined with pickled vegetables and warm olives in a spicy sauce. A robust dish that is full of character and pleasingly harmonious thanks to its subtle acidity. This chef is adept at balancing spicy, savoury flavours with tangy aromas. She creates exciting dishes that let the regional produce do the talking."

Produce from the region takes centre stage and it is always guaranteed to be fresh and flavourful. The dishes are not overly complicated, but they certainly pack a punch. The chef skilfully draws out the intensity of his ingredients with a distinctively subtle touch. He grills prawns from local waters, for instance, only briefly, to ensure they reach your plate succulent. They are topped with a prawn mayonnaise and finished with a lemon coulis that adds a gentle sweetness. A streak of herb oil and allspice oil provides just the right amount of lift. Fortunately, you are given (delicious!) sourdough bread, so you can mop up every last drop. The herbs come from gardens surrounding the restaurant and hit the spot every time, as do the richly layered sauces. Generosity and finesse go hand in hand here. The extremely appealing à la carte selection really leaves you spoilt for choice! The luxury hotel The Bodrum Edition provides the ideal setting in which to explore this culinary creativity. It has a certain laid-back vibe here that is pleasingly contemporary, warm and welcoming. But it is the breathtaking view over the resort and the bay that steals the show!"

The glass-paned restaurant can only accommodate a handful of tables, which makes for an intimate atmosphere. Hostess Buse adds to the vibe with her attentive service. Chef Heilbronn's meticulously crafted dishes are visually stunning and showcase the finest local ingredients. His German training is evident in the exceptional bread he bakes, including a dark sourdough and a pretzel-style baguette. His intriguing culinary creations never fail to amaze, eg the sea bream with tart apricot, briny samphire and a creamy kefir dressing is full of nuance and expression. Don't miss the opportunity to pair your meal with a bottle from Hus Wines, which has some real gems in store. Through his efforts to source first-rate produce and his extensive research into Turkish culinary traditions, this chef has developed a truly original style of cuisine."

It creates a convivial atmosphere too – you'll almost certainly strike up conversations with your neighbours, and the chefs happily take the time to talk you through their dishes.What may at first glance look simple reveals remarkable depth once you taste it. The chefs focus on bringing out the true essence of their ingredients. They have a penchant for offal but can also conjure up a vegetarian dish with ease. The intensity of perfectly rosé-grilled kidneys, for instance, is balanced with fresh hummus. Melt-in-the-mouth lung pieces are elevated by a wonderful beef jus, a blend of spices, mint and a yogurt dressing, and served with pita bread. Fire is used with sensibility, proving that bold flavours can also be profoundly nuanced. Thanks to the smaller portions, you can sample and share a wide range of dishes – trust us, you wouldn't be the first to try something from your neighbour's plate."

The chefs use the finest local ingredients in a homage to age-old, nearly forgotten recipes, which they spruce up here and there with playful textures.The way in which different textures of aubergine – including an airy dip and a cream with tahini – come together so harmoniously in combination with pomegranate vinegar is captivating. And then there's the meltingly tender veal tail with a refined demi-glace, chickpea-and-sweetcorn purée and plum compote finished with mint leaves. This is ingredient-led cooking, in which every element bursts with flavour – intense yet silky smooth. The menu changes three to four times a year, bringing a sense of renewal every season."

      "description_en": "Yoshizumi Nagaya is a Japanese chef who is making waves in Düsseldorf. His mastery of Japanese tradition and technical precision is widely praised there. In Istanbul, he is living up to his reputation. He has set up shop in the cosy boutique hotel Bebek, in the lively neighbourhood of the same name. His stylish Sankai offers stunning views of the Bosporus and subtly marries Japanese authenticity with European influences. His veal cheeks are cooked for 48 hours at a very low temperature until almost candied and intensely flavoursome, then served with beans, a ponzu mayonnaise, powdered vinegar and sesame seeds. Of course, you can also get great sushi here: it is meticulously prepared by Hiroko Shibata using fish from local waters. She serves up the sushi perfectly lukewarm, just sticky enough and with a splash of soy sauce to give this melt-in-your-mouth delicacy that final kick. Whether you order the sushi set menu or opt for the signature set menu, this Japanese dining adventure is compelling. And if you need a lift to or from the restaurant, we have some good news: Sankai by Nagaya provides a free luxury shuttle service."

      "description_en": "A winding road takes you to the top of the hill, from where you get a first impression of Osman Sezener's world. Once you arrive at his family estate, you trade the view of olive trees and vines for his impressive vegetable garden. A visit to the garden is an absolute must, as is an overnight stay in one of the guestrooms. This trendy glasshouse restaurant is surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, and the chefs' passion and energy are infectious. The restaurant grows about half of its ingredients independently and sources other produce from nearby suppliers. Chef Sezener works with a supply radius of about 10km. The commitment to sustainability and local sourcing is as much part of this restaurant's identity as its focus on open-fire cooking. The chef cooks on a charcoal grill to bring out the natural flavours and textures of his ingredients. The cuisine is simple and unpretentious, sometimes even bordering on the rustic, but it is always full of flavour. Picture a beautiful fillet of grouper, aged for a week, matched with a full-bodied beurre blanc enriched with a clam jus, al dente asparagus and herbs picked from the garden. For dessert: almond crumble with a lemon and bergamot cream, lemon sorbet and powder, and an airy meringue that dissolves on the tongue. This cuisine is personal and testament to the chef's understanding of the ingredients and flavours that nature yields (there is both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian set menu)."

The drive that snakes along the narrow roads raises your expectations with each turn, until you arrive at this luxury hotel (the rooms are gorgeous!) nestled on a hillside of stunning natural beauty. The mesmerising views of the bay and the elegant decor will captivate you the moment you enter. This is a truly special place, make no mistake. The new take on Aegean cuisine that chef Aret Sahakyan and his team bring to the table only reinforces that feeling. The classic roots of their dishes are evident in the hearty sauces, such as fish fumet with added butter, which gives the barbecued sea bream a delightful richness. The chefs enthusiastically build on that foundation, with a focus on freshness, thoughtfully prepared accompaniments and subtle bursts of creativity for added zest. For example, slow-cooked octopus with a crispy crust is served alongside briny herbs, fried onion and a tarhana sauce enriched with an aromatic vegetable broth. Champagne lovers will be delighted by the impressive assortment. The wine list is also wide-ranging and includes the best of Turkish and well-known European wine regions. The mysteries of Maçakızı are absolutely worth discovering!"

The grounds also include a vegetable garden and space for a few animals – the chef even runs his own farm.Local ingredients form the core of the modern take on Turkish cuisine served here. Open-fire cooking and preservation techniques such as brining and marinating go hand-in-hand with contemporary trends. The chef achieves a beautiful balance between salted bonito, a subtle touch of red chilli, and both fresh and fermented strawberries – an exuberant interplay of flavours. The set menu is a genuine tribute to the local terroir, and the desserts follow in the same vein. Take their original spin on Turkish coffee: a chilled biscuit millefeuille with almonds, topped with delicate orange marmalade and both a coffee cream and a coffee emulsion. Light and airy, yet wonderfully rich – a fantastic finish to the meal. Meticulous cooking that is truly captivating."

Everything here revolves around the depth of the flavours, which possess a distinctive Nordic purity.The dishes are not overly elaborate, but their complexity lies in their delicate harmonies. As an example, smoked duck breast is barbecued until medium-rare and then elevated with a symphony of nuances: red wine pepper jelly, roasted hazelnut, tangy cider syrup, a subtly sweet plum sauce with the perfect touch of umami and crisp samphire. The sense of balance is incredible! And those who avoid meat will be glad to know that Mikla always offers a vegan set menu. An adventure awaits you here and that also goes for the setting – the magnificent 360° view of Istanbul you get from the 18th floor of the Marmara Pera hotel really is the icing on the cake."

Shoulder of lamb sourced in Balikesir, for example, is cooked until butter soft in a keskek stew, with a patiently reduced jus that is simply irresistible. A vibrant blend of herbs and yoghurt, along with subtly spiced cooked grains, gives the dish a lively twist. Here, creativity is deployed with respect and a sense of purpose.

      "description_en": "Tatbak has been the go-to kebab place for many an Istanbulite since 1960, and at no point in that time has it compromised on quality. With its lovely stained-glass windows and marble finishings, the vintage-style decor is attractive, but the local vibe and fantastic value for money are the main draws. Take, for instance, the Gaziantep version of spicy lahmacun (Turkish pizza), generously topped with vegetables and parsley, or the kebab with lamb sausages and minced beef – both are house favourites. The experienced chef skilfully balances sweet, spicy and tangy nuances, without losing sight of the importance of the right textures. Tatbak is a mecca for foodies!"

The large pond with its fountain draws the eyes, and the terrace overlooking the vines has a delightful Mediterranean feel – it's the stuff of dreams! The allure of this place leaves no one indifferent. Don't miss the chance to sample the estate's wines – the perfect introduction to Bodrum's terroir. The chef operates on a farm-to-fork principle and is also committed to sourcing local produce wherever possible. She sets great store by her ingredients, which often come from her own garden. For example, she perfectly pan-fries ultra-fresh sea bass and combines it with braised seaweed, mandarin marmalade, a butter oil emulsion and lime zest – this is a chef who brings a unique and nuanced perspective to traditional dishes."

The decor radiates a sense of serenity, and the closely spaced tables create a convivial atmosphere.

Think tuna marinated in raki and served with parsley, apple and red onion, or briefly seared lamb's liver with fried potatoes and onion. The extensive menu features plenty of enticing options that lend themselves well to sharing. To explore a wide range of dishes without breaking the bank, choose the Çilingir Sofrası set menu."

It's definitely worth trying to secure a spot on the terrace, where you get to take in the views of the bay and the sea – the sunsets are simply divine! But perhaps you would prefer to home in on the action in the partially open kitchen complete with pizza oven. With great skill, the chefs rustle up dishes such as a creamy risotto with barbecued squid, al dente house-made pasta with an aromatic tomato sauce, or freshly caught sea bass with a saffron-infused lime sauce. This is a popular place, so don't forget to make a reservation."

The kebab with succulent meatballs, grilled peppers, a silky butter sauce with just the right level of heat and a thick yoghurt paste is rightly a house signature.

Chef Kemal Karataş gives Gaziantep cuisine a contemporary twist, as in the crisp pistachio roll filled with creamy sheep's cheese, generously topped with pistachios and a nut cream, and accompanied by a quenelle of sour cream. Be sure to try his aromatic mezze, too – they are simply too good to be missed!"
