Our Local Experts say:
Fusing together a rich mix of delicious traditional Turkish food, lively music and flowing drinks, Meyhanes -or Turkish tavernas- are a Turkish party experience not to be missed.
There are an impressive number of meyhanes in Istanbul offering up a fine selection of Turkish mezes, fresh fish, grilled meat and more. Accompanied by live gypsy musicians and a cold glass of Raki- the Turkish national drink- the meyhane is a lively celebration of food, music and life.
