The Kiz Kulesi Restaurant is located in the Maidens Tower, a small tower on a tiny islet near the Asian shore of the Bosphorus Strait. It was built by a Byzantine emperor in the 12th century who confined his daughter on the islet after learning from a prophecy that his beloved child would die of snakebite. Despite this, she was eventually bitten by a snake that had been smuggled inside a basket of grapes from the mainland. In ancient times, it was used as a toll booth, a bastion, a customs control point and a lighthouse. However the tower has been restored and is now an international restaurant that can be accessed only by boat. The place serves as a cafe by day and a restaurant in the evening.
ASITANE RESTAURANT
EDIRNEKAPI / ISTANBUL
26,14 €
The large and airy Asitane Restaurant serves imperial Ottoman cuisine, incorporating Central Asian, Anatolian, Middle Eastern and Balkan flavours, resulting from the intensive research undertaken at three palace kitchens (Dolmabahce, Topkapi and Edirne) to test and recreate long-forgotten imperial dishes, whose recipes were traditionally kept secret. Some of the rediscovered dishes on the menu such as Veal in Apple Sauce, Stuffed Quince and Lamb Chuck with Plums were served in the palace. It’s not often that you’ll get the opportunity to sample Ottoman dishes devised especially for a 16th-century royal feast, but this is what’s on offer here. The food is magnificent, the surroundings are modern and elegant, the restaurant features comfortable seating, pristine napery and an outdoor courtyard for summer dining. Vegetarians as well catered for.
