\"Leb-i
\nLeb-i Derya<\/span><\/div>\n

Istanbul has no shortage of great food and hip restaurants. Based on my dining experiences in the city, here is my list of the best restaurants in Istanbul:<\/p>\n

Mikla Restaurant<\/a><\/strong>
\nMikla is one of the best fine dining restaurants in the city. The chef, who is half Turkish and half Swedish, comes up with creative dishes and inventive cuisine, and the dining room has a sleek, retro atmosphere.<\/p>\n

Ulus 29 Restaurant<\/a><\/strong>
\nUlus 29 is the perfect place for trendsetters. The chic dining room and great terrace offer a stylish environment, and on Saturday nights there is a club for the party types.<\/p>\n

Refik Restaurant<\/a><\/strong>
\nRefik is about as traditional as Turkish restaurants get. It is one of the best restaurants in Istanbul for classic meze dishes.<\/p>\n

Galata House Restaurant<\/a><\/strong>
\nGalata House is a quirky, non-traditional restaurant housed in a former prison. The owners serve Russian and Georgian food while chatting to guests and playing the piano for them. It is a must for those looking for something different.<\/p>\n

Lebi Derya Restaurant<\/a><\/strong>
\nLeb-i Derya is a hip bar and restaurant that is packed from morning until night with people enjoying food, drinks, and beautiful views over Istanbul.<\/p>\n

Istanbul Modern Cafe<\/a><\/strong>
\nFor art lovers, there is no better place to have lunch than the cafe at the Istanbul Modern Art Museum. The restaurant is located right on the Bosphorus and is great for light meals and snacks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
