Pull up a chair at Ismet Baba, a Bosphorus fish restaurant that has been serving since 1951. Share fresh mezes and market fish at a table close to the water, with the bridge in view.

📖

Full description

Ismet Baba is a long-running seafood eatery on the Bosphorus, opened in 1951, where fish and mezes are served in a simple, traditional setting right beside the water. Reviewers say the fish is fresh and market-priced reasonably, while the drinks list is noted as expensive.

Tables by the water offer views of the bridge, and a lunch here is often described as the most enjoyable. Expect friendly hall staff, hearty sides and a lively crowd in the evenings.

With expensive pricing and 4.1 stars, it suits couples and locals-led groups wanting a straightforward fish meal on the shore.
