    An hour outside Istanbul, this Michelin-starred restaurant sits inside a family-run property where the chef grows most of his vegetables out back and knows the producers who supply the rest by name. The cooking moves between Turkish culinary tradition and time spent in Italy without any fuss, and the terrace tables overlooking the garden fill up first. Bring a reason to linger.

    The dishes from the writeups

    • Black Sea sea bass

      “He whips up al dente agnolotti stuffed with burrata and mascarpone just as effortlessly as he cooks Black Sea sea bass to succulent perfection, serving it with garden-fresh vegetables and a punchy vermouth and mustard seed sauce.”

Eat Score

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.
