Zula Istanbul
Burger Heaven
Cemre from Istanbul
Zula has perfected burger simplicity with a tiny menu mainly dedicated to the burgers. The only options other than burgers are hot dogs and seasoned & regular fries.
The chefs of Zula know how to cook tasty burgers for sure. I can never take a decent photo here as this burger is impossible to savor slowly. Personally, I'd go for the basic one with 100gr meat, cheddar, caramelized onion, pickle relish and truffle mayo. However, sometimes one does not feel like that is enough since they are really delicious and dripping with flavour. Even if you are not so hungry, you can skip or share the fries to save more space in your stomach for the burgers.
Zula has 5 locations: one in Emaar Mall, one in Zorlu Mall, one in Kanyon Mall, one in Vadi Istanbul and the other in Harbiye. Sometimes, the only reason I'd like to visit Emaar Mall is honestly Zula. Please remember that Zula is a little eatery, so it is not always possible to find a seat immediately. I can generally find a spot whenever I visit the one in Emaar, but never in Zorlu Mall on the weekends. It's a matter of chance when it comes to the branch in Harbiye. I have never been to the ones in Kanyon and Vadi Istanbul.

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...

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.
