Fodor's Expert Review Hayvore

This informal restaurant just off İstiklal Caddesi turns out hearty specialties of Turkey's Black Sea coast at very affordable prices. There's no menu, but the daily offerings (just point to what you want) usually include several items with anchovies—a mainstay of the region's cooking—as well as meat dishes like lamb stew and vegetarian alternatives made with chickpeas, baked beans, bulgur pilaf, and pickled vegetables.
