Where to Eat in Eminönü?
Eminönü is one of Istanbul's busiest transit hubs, linking the European and Asian shores for centuries. The Egyptian Spice Bazaar, Yeni Mosque and busy ferry piers define its character. Yet inside this activity, finding a quality Eminönü restaurant experience is straightforward — if you look in the right direction.
Pino Gare Roof Top Restaurant sits in the heart of Eminönü at Hüdavendigar Cd. No:24, Orient Express Hotel, 7th floor. A 5-minute walk from Eminönü ferry pier, 4 minutes from Galata Bridge. The Bosphorus-view terrace, halal kitchen and EUR set menus make it one of the most consistent dining options in the area.
What to Eat at Eminönü
Mixed Meze Platter — 220–350 TL
Hummus, babaganoush, spicy ezme, haydari, roasted pepper salad and fried seasonal vegetables. The classic opener for a proper Turkish table — and just as fitting without alcohol as with rakı.
