Full description

Gün Lokantası Asmalı blends a traditional lokanta idea with a more modern design than most places in Istanbul, according to reviewers. Counter seats are available for walk-ins, and service is described as friendly and helpful.

Dishes mentioned include lamb croquettes, simply grilled eggplant, octopus and sea bass, with wine praised as good value for the price tier. Opinions on the food are mixed, with some finding certain items odd, such as pickle juice as the only soft drink.

At 4.4 stars and mid-range pricing, it works for a relaxed lunch or an evening meal for couples.

Reviews

We came without a reservation and got the almost the last seats at the counter. Service was friendly and helpful. The design of the restaurant is both authentic and more modern than many places in Istanbul. Food was creative and delicious, plus, the Turkish wine were great discoveries.
