  1. Avlu Restaurant

    Contemporary Turkish

    Save to a list Write a review On the Way Around

    The courtyard of what was once a prison is now where you eat bread from a wood-fired oven and decide between Anatolian classics and a set menu that also comes in a vegetarian version. Avlu is a casual all-day restaurant inside the Four Seasons Sultanahmet, with a Mediterranean-garden feel that makes the surrounding neighborhood noise seem like someone else's problem. Contemporary Turkish cooking, relaxed dress code, hotel prices.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Turbot

      “The chef prepares turbot both pan-fried to a succulent finish and folded into dumplings with cauliflower and spinach, rounding off the dish with the fine contrast of a rich sauce and a fresh salad.”

The score comes from the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin star outweighs a listicle. When you sort by what's nearby, distance changes the order, never the score.

      Stay Score

      Four fifths of the score is the awards it's won, weighted by who gave them: a Michelin Key outweighs a listicle. The last fifth is where it is: the ranked places to eat and things to do around it, and how safe the country is. When you sort by what's nearby, distance from you changes the order, never the score.

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. The places are 60% of it: the best of what's within reach, weighed by distance. The setting is the other 40%: how life goes in that country (how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are) and what it's like right there (the air, and the weather). If the score looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
