Beşiktaş Market
Çırağan Caddesi
Beşiktaş
under the overpass
When you start making your way along the European shore to check out the Bosporus 'villages' you'll be driving through Beşiktaş and will notice this market immediately. The food here is so fresh - bright red tomatoes, green peppers, fresh spinach along with other veg and fruits.
Everything is ridiculously cheap, which is good, cause you'll spend it all on the cab ride home rather than lugging it around for the rest of the day. Try seeing how much food you can get for under 10 YTL! If you walk down to the last veg stands, you'll find things like basil or bunches of coriander, things that make food zing!

Zencefil
Kurabiye Sokak 8

T: +90 2122444082
Mid Priced
Veg Menu with a fish and chicken option
Local wines
Not open Sunday / Pazar
Great location for this place. One of the only veg cafes in Istanbul with a menu that is interesting. The cool surrounds mean you can sit back and enjoy a wine with your meal but the place does get full on week nights so you may want to try to book.
The menu is all in Turkish but if you muddle through, on the staff she understands you. I've tried this place a few times now, the soups are really good served with a slice of cheese and homemade bread. Standard veg items like spinach parcels can be uninviting and snack sized, but try the bulgur risotto. Leave room and try the Zencefil Desert with a pot of 'Mediteraneo' special tea.
Its a shame that this place isn't open Sunday evenings when quiet and good is what you need!
