Gun Lokantasi brings the lokanta tradition into the present with an open kitchen built around grill and open flames. In the bohemian corridor of Asmali Mescit, the kitchen delivers dishes like lamb hearts with miso-enriched jus and grilled sea bass with pickled grapes and lemon beurre blanc. Intentionally limited hours signal a chef who prioritizes quality over volume.

Editor's Tip

The limited hours are deliberate. Saturday lunch is a hidden gem. Michelin Guide and Gault&Millau recognized.
