( 212-514 6151; www.matbahrestaurant.com ; Ottoman Imperial Hotel, Caferiye Sokak 6/1; mezes
10-22, mains 28-48; lunch & dinner; Sultanahmet) This recent addition to the city's grow-
ing number of restaurants specialising in so-called 'Ottoman Palace Cuisine' is well worth
a visit. The chef has sourced 375 recipes from the imperial archives and offers an array of
dishes, some of which are more successful than others. The surrounds are attractive and
live Ottoman music is performed on Friday and Saturday nights.

( 212-458 1824; www.balikcisabahattin.com ; Seyit Hasan Koyu Sokak 1, Cankurtaran; mezes
10-30, fish 30-60; noon-midnight; Sultanahmet) The limos outside Balıkçı Sabahattın pay
testament to its enduring popularity with the city's establishment, who join cashed-up
tourists in enjoying its limited menu of meze and fish. The food here is excellent, though
the service is often harried. You'll dine in a wooden Ottoman house or under a leafy can-
opy in the garden.
