Adem Baba
Arnavutköy·$$$
Mussels with Herbs
TRY200.00
Fresh mussels fried and tossed with parsley and lemon.
Tip: Call ahead to check if mussels are available that day — they're seasonal and dependence on the day's catch.
#2
Rumelihisarı İskele
Rumelihisarı·$$$$
TRY240.00
Whole mussels in the shell, deep-fried until golden and crispy.
Tip: Order this to share while you wait for meze to arrive — it's a substantial hot starter that doesn't fill you up for the main.
