Best Restaurant In Kadikoy + Top 4 Restaurants

I love strange cities, cities that are different from other cities in the world. One of these cities that I found after a lot of research is Istanbul.

After a lot of research on “Is Istanbul in Europe or Asia,” I found out that half of Istanbul is in Asia and the other half is in Europe; that’s why I decided to travel to this city, but since I didn’t have much time, either I should have chosen the Asian side or the European side, which I chose the Asian side of Istanbul.

Before the trip, I booked my hotel in the Kadikoy district of Istanbul. I chose Istanbul Sabiha Gokcen Airport as the landing place of the plane because this airport is located in the Asian part of Istanbul. But what I am going to tell you in the rest of this travelogue is the introduction of the best restaurant in Kadikoy.

Since many travelers choose this neighborhood as their place of residence, knowing the best restaurants in this neighborhood can make your trip more enjoyable.

Aida

This restaurant will remind you of old and classic restaurants with its wooden chairs and tables. This famous Italian restaurant is more like a home than a restaurant! Therefore, you will feel comfortable and relaxed in it.

The interior, which is filled with a piano and beautiful old photos, is fascinating and reminds you of the intimacy of grandma’s house. If you wish, you can also use the table and chairs arranged in the open space for your meal. Free Wi-Fi and private parking are also available for customers.

Also, you can order the appetizer plate with fried rice balls in Bolognese sauce or seafood and fresh shrimp in this restaurant. Also, this restaurant prepares homemade bread, desserts, and ice creams, but Tiramisu, which is made with Quarta coffee imported from Italy, is more popular.

Çiya Sofrası

This restaurant is also considered one of the best fish restaurants in Kadikoy; it serves a variety of Anatolian dishes (mainly Eastern Mediterranean and Southeast Anatolia), which are all prepared with imported ingredients from local areas. All these dishes are decorated with local and sea plants.

Unusual dishes such as şıhılmahşi (stuffed pumpkin from Kilis region), Mualle (eggplant and lentil stew with pomegranate), mung bean soup, malhıtalı (red lentil soup), Firik (grilled wheat) and tavası erik yeşil (green plum stew) are delicious. I also strongly recommend the types of kebabs served in this restaurant and the special Lahmajoun.

It is also better to know that this place has three floors, and the third floor has a rooftop patio facing the beautiful Kadikoy market. In addition, for the convenience of customers, tables and chairs arranged in the open air, TV and free Wi-Fi are also provided.

Cafe Cadde

One of the most attractive restaurants in Kadikoy is Kadeh Cafe, which provides a relaxing environment with tropical interior decoration and green trees in both indoor and outdoor spaces, so when you visit this neighborhood, be sure to go to this restaurant and enjoy the attractive environment and food.

The menu here includes many types of drinks, international, European, and Turkish dishes, and it will be an excellent host for any time of the day. Among the variety of dishes, you will also find some vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options. Also, the interior of this cafe is so attractive and unique that you can take many beautiful Instagram photos.

Moda Viktor Levi

Suppose you are a fan of fantasy and mystery movies. In that case, I recommend that you definitely visit here, which has provided a charming place for its guests with a building with a brick facade, a pleasant yard, and many flowers and evergreen plants.

As soon as you enter the yard, you feel like you have entered a scene from a Disney movie. But you can’t find any other food in this restaurant except European food and drinks. The tables in the outdoor area have an air conditioning system that is covered in winter and heats the environment by heating from the ceiling.

If you are tired and hungry, make sure to go to Moda Viktor Levi restaurant and relax for an hour on the wooden chairs around the pool and drink a cold drink.

Finally

I only went to these four restaurants during my trip to this neighborhood, all 4 of them were of excellent quality. If you have had the experience of going to restaurants in the Kadikoy neighborhood, please publish the name of the restaurant and your opinions in the comments section for other users.
