Meyhane
Meyhane is a fish restaurant. Typically these are small plates, intended to be shared with the table, and eaten with bread. When you go to one of these places, just order 5-6 plates and get more if you want. If you don’t like something, it’s not a big deal since they are typically pretty small.
Some of our favorites are levrek (sea bass) and atom (yogurt with spicy chili oil).
This is when it is most appropriate to drink rakı (rock-UH) but wine and beer are both completely fine. These dinners are usually long, slow meals you have to relax with friends and family after the day is over.
