A modern venue with a very stylish minimalist pub on the terrace and a restaurant upstairs, serving superb Turkish dishes with a European twist. Try the ballı tavuk (grilled chicken with sauce made from apricot, hazelnuts, shallots and cinnamon) or the vegetarian şiş kebap (roasted on a skewer). Host Tayfur takes it all in his stride – even when celebs like Gordon Ramsay come a-calling.
