Beyti Güler is a living legend in Istanbul. Since the 1980s, Istanbulites have been coming to dine in this stylish building, a fine example of nostalgic Turkish charm, with its little fountains at the entrance and sculptures in the garden. And this historical establishment boasts no fewer than 12 dining rooms! The charcoal grill is at the centre of the kitchen, where the experienced chefs cook all kinds of meat to perfection. Take the imam bayildi, for example: meltingly tender braised aubergine topped with tomatoes, bell peppers and onions, cooked just long enough to bring out all their flavours. And be sure to try one of the kebabs, too. Traditional Turkish fare just as it should be.
