The House Cafe – Corner – Nisantasi
Hopdaddy Burgers – Madrid
Hopdaddy is a small fast-casual restaurant with several locations in Istanbul offering a very good burger at better than reasonable price, about half of what you’d pay for the gourmet burger at Nusr-et or Saltbae.
The House Cafe – Istanbul
A mix of western and middle eastern cuisine, including a wide variety of popular western breakfast items make The House Café, with multiple locations in Istanbul, a popular dining haunt with both locals and visitors to Istanbul. The location in Ortakoy overlooking the Bosporus has a delightful view morning, noon, and night.
Nusr-et – Istanbul
Turkish chef, Nusret Gökçe, turned his Turkish-based steakhouse, Nusr-et, into an international restaurant dynasty with locations from Dubai to London. The steaks are pricey, but undoubtedly the best bet for a slab of grilled beef in Istanbul. The décor in all of the locations is upscale. The restaurant in closest proximity to major hotels is the restaurant inside the city’s central grand bazaar, the Kapali Çarsi.
