If you are traveling for food, and food is the first thing that you search for before your trip, this guide is for you! As a local from Istanbul, I collected my favorite food and drink spots located on the Asian side, in addition to the must-try food items, and how to eat them. Although the majority of the places are located in famous neighborhoods such as Kadikoy and Prince Islands sometimes you need to get away from the center to find the best food. This guide also covers these off-the-beaten-track locations. ⬇️⬇️⬇️⬇️ The list contains the following sections: ✔️Breakfast 🍳🥯 ✔️Local bistros where you can taste authentic ✔️Turkish cuisine. 🥘 ✔️Meze & Rakı Places (Meyhane)🧊🐟 ✔️Fine Dining 🥂⭐️ ✔️Cocktail Bars🍸 ✔️Pubs🍺 ✔️Wine House 🍷🍇 ✔️Street Food /Hangover Food 🌯🌭 ✔️International Cuisine 🍣🍱 ✔️Patisserie and Cafes☕️🍰🍨

Although the majority of the places are located in famous neighborhoods such as Fatih (Historical Peninsula), Karakoy, Beyoglu, Besiktas, and Tarabya, sometimes you need to get away from the center to find the best food.

Prince Islands are my favorite locations in Istanbul, and I believe they should be on the top of your places-to-visit list. Here you will find old mansions built in the 19th & 20th Centuries, and hiking trails with splendid sea 🌊 and forest🌳 views. You can escape from the hustle and bustle of the big city by enjoying a 30 min-long ferry journey 🚢. In this free guide, I collected the best places to have a meal/ drink in Prince Islands (Büyükada, Heybeliada, Burgazada & Kınalıada).
