Batard Bomonti Istanbul
French Bistro in Istanbul
Zeynep from Istanbul
Batard is a cool restaurant & local pub located in the Bomonti neighbourhood of Istanbul. The restaurant's interior is stylishly designed, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. You really enjoy its contemporary ambience, small French-style tables, open kitchen, and fancy bar.
Batard offers a diverse menu showcasing international and Turkish flavors prepared with a modern twist. Their dishes are defined as "Eclectic Cuisine". They create the menu with free and original recipes, regardless of a certain geography or technique. There are separate menus for lunch and dinner, which I sometimes find annoying. For example, their hamburger is not served in the afternoon on the weekdays, but rather more chic meat options are included.
The bar offers a menu of nice cocktails, just like the kitchen. This is a super comfortable, affordable place that can be visited daily. My choice is usually to go on Sundays. Why? I love getting lost among antiques, records, and old-smelling books in Feriköy Antique Bazaar</a>; check out my article, which is open only on Sundays and is located just opposite this place.
Batard takes you to the cafes of Paris whenever you need a day to chill with a cocktail and finger food. It is a nice choice not to be missed; check out their Instagram.

Lil Bake
Lovely spot for a sweet snack
Lil Bake is a small, lovely spot in the heart of Moda, Istanbul. My favorite used to be the pistachio Paris breast, until I tasted their croissants...

Banyan
High-end Asian fusion in Ortakoy
"Banyan" is my bar/restaurant of choice in Istanbul's Ortaköy for a drink or dinner after work. In their terrace you'll feel as if you're on a ship's deck.

"Vogue Restaurant Bar" is one of Istanbul's higher end spots. The food is great, but I would recommend the signature (molecular) cocktails. How about...

The Letter Opener
A gorgeous gift
"The Letter Opener" is one of the best souvenirs to get for friends back home when you're in Istanbul and I recommend you get them from Grand Bazaar.

Turkish Tea
Enjoy a glass of tea
Turkish Tea is had after each meal, and it's a reflection of hospitality. When in Istanbul, have it at small local tea houses in Sultanahmet.
