Lonely Planet review for Karaköy Lokantasi
Many travellers will have heard of the famous Pandeli restaurant in the Spice Bazaar, which is known for its gorgeous tiled interior, high prices and – alas – uninspiring food. This family-run lokanta across the Galata Bridge in Karaköy has an attractive tiled interior that references Pandeli’s, but there the similarity ends. The food here is tasty and inexpensive, and the service is both friendly and efficient. The place functions as a lokanta during the day, but at night it morphs into a meyhane, with slightly higher prices.
