This relaxed, quality seafood
restaurant outstrips the strip thanks to the maroon-sweater-clad staff, and dishes like fresh,
good-value
dil şiş
(grilled sole). The crowd is abundant and friendly.
DENIZ RESTAURANT €€€

"
17; 11am-11pm)
This old favourite on the
kor-
don
trades a little on its reputation - and it's far from good value - but the mezes like oc-
topus in oregano and baked sardines are worth the snobby service. The house speciality is
tuzda balık
(fish baked in a block of salt that's broken at your table; suitable for three or
four people).
