It's the most hyped restaurant-bar in the city, and quite frankly we don't think it deserves its reputation. Though its stylish fitout and knockout views make it a fabulous spot for a drink, the food here is trying too hard - and falling flat as a result. If you order simply you'll enjoy your meal, but beware the fussy mains, which often have flavours that clash.

Changa
İstanbul's most controversial eatery has fans and detractors. At issue is Peter Gordon's handling of fusion dishes: do they work? Try the salmon and wasabi tortellini with grilled porcini and creamed lemon-grass sauce and see what you think. One dish that no-one would question is the soft meringue of strawberries, lychees and fresh cheese with a strawberry and raspberry sauce - delicious.

House Café
This stylish cafe would look equally at home in Soho, Seattle or Sydney. On the city's most happening street, its casual but chic interior is invariably packed with ladies lunching, young couples courting and businesspeople meeting over coffee. The food is international in flavour and execution; you can choose from a menu including sandwiches, pizzas, salads and light dishes such as Thai chicken noodle soup and a 'House burger' with wedges.

House Café
This is İstanbul's hottest spot for Sunday brunch. A huge place right on the waterfront at Ortaköy, it offers a good-quality all-you-can-eat buffet spread for around YTL45 between and . The style here is casual chic and the clientele is young professional, though everyone will feel welcome.

Konuk Evi
A secluded flower-filled garden and fairy-tale-like glass conservatory around the corner from Aya Sofya is waiting just for you. You'll find Konuk Evi one of the most relaxing places in the city to enjoy an al fresco lunch. Salads, burgers, sandwich and grills are all good value considering the surrounds.

Lale Restaurant (Pudding Shop)
It's a long time since the Pudding Shop served up fare to the hippies who made it famous, but its fame still drags in backpackers travelling in their parents' footsteps. Appearing for the prosecution: the stodgy, badly cooked food. For the defence: the fact that it has wi-fi and booze.

Lokal
This funky place is always full of bright young things admiring the Warhol-clone screenprints on the walls. The eclectic menu features number of curries - try the Thai green chicken curry with its creamy coconut base and fragrant herbs or the succulent tandoori lamb chops with yogurt and tamarind sauce. The weekday lunch menus are fabulous value. We concur with the restaurant's slogan: 'Think global, eat Lokal'.
