Pandeli Restaurant

Nestled within the Spice Bazaar lies a hidden gem adorned with intricate historical decor.

It’s remarkable to think that this restaurant began as a humble hole-in-the-wall establishment. Over time, it has risen to become one of Turkey’s most renowned dining destinations. From esteemed writers and poets to beloved singers and actors, a myriad of luminaries have queued up to savor its delights. However, its most esteemed patron was none other than Mustafa Kemal Ataturk, who forged a lasting friendship with Mr. Pandeli, the proprietor.

The menu boasts dishes steeped in tradition and culinary mastery acquired over the years.
