RE: Miss. Delicious #73 : Gulhane Sark Sofrasi in Sultanahmet!
the photographs were stunning and captured the mood and ambiance of the old town with its traditional architecture, shady walkways and old houses built up against city walls. This idea of building close to ancient walls seems to be a common practice in Asia where there are walled cities.
The style of the restaurant blends well with the streetscape and I noticed the menus were tourist friendly, printed with English on the left and Arabic on the right. The presentation of the food was also exceptional and everything looked delicious. I noticed that not much wine was visible, and I wasn't sure if that was because of religious restrictions.
Already, it's apparent that this tour of Istanbul will be quite different from the Bahamas experience.
An excellent post, @sweetsssj
thank you john, this is one of the main draws of Turkey which was evidently missing from Bahamas. Obviously I can't fault Bahamas for not having the same history, but at the same time, it's good to acquire experiences which are not only memorable but serve as a top up to knowledge.
