NileGuide Expert tip:
Treat your meal here like a brunch. For instance go for lunch and eat like the Turkish do -slowly and a lot. Then either skip dinner or go light on yourself.
Description:
Cibali Balık Restaurant has three branches: one in Moda on the Asian side, one in Haliç and one in Torba in south of Turkey. Cibalikapı Balık Restaurant spells price for value, whilst serving its clients the best and some of the most unique examples of meze. It is a cozy inn with wooden tables and a relaxing, casual atmosphere. Its Haliç Branch offers a magnificent panorama of history, as it is in the close proximity of the Topkapı Palace and the Galata Tower. The Moda Branch is right off the Moda port in another cozy corner of the city. Try stuffed dried tomatoes, palamut pilaki (a cold dish made from dried beans, olive oil and bonito), mezgit sarma (rolled whiting fish), topik (a meze made with chickpea, potato, cinnamon and onion –you either love it or hate it), abudaraho (fish eggs), a variety of grass roots served as cold dish with olive oil, and fener kavurma (roasted monkfish). It is also possible to cherry-pick your dishes from the kitchen. You can also go for the fix menu 65 TRY (30 Euros) with limited alcohol or 75 TRY (around 40 Euros) for unlimited alcohol. Their degustación menu for two is 120 TRY (around 60 Euros)
