Magnaura Café Restaurant
Magnaura Café Restaurant Review
At this standout for high-quality food and pleasant ambience, the menu ranges from Turkish and Ottoman cuisine to international standards. Particularly notable are the steaks—the Marble Steak is grilled and served with flaming cognac, while the Bogaziçi Steak is marinated with vegetables in a terra-cotta pot. Greater attention is given to presentation than in most Sultanahmet restaurants. There's also a cozy rooftop terrace with a very partial view of the Marmara Sea.

We loved this place. It was near to our hotel Empress Zoe. We ate there our first night and our last. The first night we ate outdoors and the last night it was cooler and we ate upstairs in a room with a fireplace; great atmosphere with both settings. The food was very tasty. This is where we first had the mantii (sp), a small ravioli like pasta filled with lamb and covered with a yogurt sauce. Definitely recommend.
