Slip into Lokanta Kru, a small local favourite that rewards those who find it. Order the grilled octopus and a pasta dish made with good-quality local products.
Full description
Lokanta Kru is a compact restaurant built around locally sourced ingredients prepared with care, and one reviewer rated it the best meal of a seven-day Istanbul trip. Grilled octopus and pasta are singled out as highlights, along with good service.
The flip side is the space: reviewers note it is small with tables close together, so it feels intimate rather than spacious. Pricing is mid-range, booking is recommended, and its hidden-gem and trendy traits suit couples looking for an evening meal of roughly 75 minutes, either for lunch or dinner.
