These restaurants are
in Sultanahmet,
the heart of Old Istanbul,
or in neighboring districts such as Eminönü (by Galata
Bridge and the Golden
Horn) and Beyazit (near
the Grand
Bazaar). They're of all styles
and price ranges.
Sultanahmet being the epicenter of
Istanbul tourism, prices are
higher here than in other parts of the city,
and more restaurants are aimed at foreign
clientele.
