Patlican/Aubergine Restaurant

Harika ("great" in Turkish) best describes a dining experience at this restaurant on the harborfront. Thanks to its continued success (and the fact that harborfront restaurants are no longer permitted to set up tables on the waterside promenade), Patlican recently doubled its interior space but remains cozy and delightful. The menu is an easy fusion of Turkish and Italian, featuring typical Turkish and Ottoman dishes alongside duck, rabbit, and pasta. There's also a vegetarian and a children's menu. Daphne, the sister restaurant located on a stunning rooftop terrace overlooking the mosque and harbor, doubles up on Turkish and Asian choices -- you can even get some Turkish dishes stir-fried in a wok.
