HODAN

Restaurant · Firuzaga

"Come to this arty Turkish brasserie in a historic building in Beyoğlu for chef Çiğdem Seferoğlu’s irresistible market-driven cuisine — from her famous chopped salad dressed with a sour cherry sorbet to her majestic octopus with green olives, cooked in a wood-burning oven. Hodan's Sunday brunches are legendary." - Anya von Bremzen
