Fresh fish and meze in an old wooden house

Hours: Daily from noon until late
Address: Seyit Hasan Kuyu Sk. 1, Fatih (side street behind Hagia Sophia)

A fish restaurant in an old wooden house on a quiet lane behind Hagia Sophia. You pick the day's fish from a display near the door, and cold meze come round on trays for you to choose from. Fish is priced by weight. On a nice evening the lane-side tables are the ones to take.
