Authenic and Delicious

On the Golden Horn side of the Galata Bridge, I found one of the things I always look for during my travels: a cheap, authentic meal with the locals. If you're looking for a nice lunch, skip the restaurants on the bridge itself, which are pushy and really expensive, and wander over to the two or three brightly-colored boats docked just to the left of the bridge. The boats sell grilled-fish sandwiches for 3 lira each and there are stools set up around the boats where you can crowd in and eat. The sandwiches are delicious and the fish is fresh and smokey, and it's served with a little parsley and onion.

Lots of people are walking around the stools selling drinks, but, if you have taste 1, head over the the little buggy with the plastic cups full of pink fruit punch looking stuff. Well, it's olive juice...and the pink color comes from the pickled beets soaking in it. Absolutely repugnant on it's own, but when you mix it with the smokey fish sandwich, it actually tastes great! Anyways, Istanbul can be tricky food-wise. It has a lot of over-priced, low-quality tourist joints and a lot of delicious-looking but imposing local places. The Galata Bridge Boat restaurants, though, are approachable, cheap, and tasty as hell. Recommended 100%.

Everything is really delicious!

The banks of the Bosphorus and Golden Horn are lined with food stalls where both tourists and villagers alike can enjoy a freshly caught fish, some tomatoes and grilled asparagus or a perhaps even try a plate of "sharma" (spicy rice wrapped in palm leaves). Turkish food is delicious, healthy, Mediterranean and very spicy. There are a variety of vegetables, fish, pizzas and rice dishes. Eating here is a great option if you want to try and save money while visiting Istanbul. Everything is really delicious!
