Wonderful for gluten free

Really a great restaurant. They take the time for you, take into account special wishes for food and the food is great. My boyfriend eats gluten-free and enough options and they take a lot into account. For me the vegetarian hot pot, also really recommended.

Remarkable in the true sense of the word, that is: worthy of particular regard, respect or consideration compared to others. In fact, this restaurant is notable for its location with respect to the city center (in a side street 500 meters from Hagia Sophia/Blue Mosque); notable for the quality of the food; just as the education, diligence and professionalism of the dining room staff is noteworthy; the friendliness and pleasantness of the owner is more than remarkable; but above all, notable for the competence (particularly of the owner) in knowing how to manage the particular dietary needs linked to celiac disease, in a country where it is difficult to find places equipped in this sense since (good for them) this problem is not widespread. Finally, their habit of offering a dessert at the end of dinner is noteworthy. The only thing I didn't find remarkable was the final bill, which I instead found decidedly honest and moderate! As an expert contributor, I HIGHLY recommend this restaurant.
