Eating here is a live history class...<br />
Overlooking the Golden Horn, Asitane Restaurant is perched in the<br />
foothills of Edirnekapı, considered by many to be one of the most<br />
important areas of historical Istanbul. The restaurant lies in the<br />
shadow of the mighty Chora Church, famous for its mosaics and one<br />
of the most revered and well preserved buildings of the Byzantine era.<br />
Asitane opened its doors in 1991, serving dishes reflecting the<br />
eclectic nature of the Turco-Ottoman neighborhood. Asitane was<br />
one of the many names given to Istanbul throughout the era of the<br />
Ottoman Empire, and today Asitane Restaurant brings to life the<br />
tastes of a glorious bygone era. After 20 years in hospitality, Asitane<br />
now boasts an impressive archive comprising over 450 forgotten<br />
sweet and savory recipes, prepared according to 500-year-old<br />
cooking methods.<br />
Asitane is open everyday from 11.45am to 11.30pm, serving indoors<br />
during the winter, and in its beautiful garden in the summer. The<br />
restaurant also caters for special events and offers a large selection<br />
of fine Turkish wines to accompany your historic feast.<br />
