Buenos Aires – Very stylish restaurant in Palermo in Buenos Aires. You can only enter with a reservation. From the outside you do not see that it is a restaurant as it is all over sprayed with graffiti. The inside is opening a new world with a lot of plants, very cool and quite pricey.
Buenos Aires – One of the many Peruvian restaurants in Buenos Aires. The food is very tasty and modern interpreted. They do not just serve one ceviche or tiradito but many different ones. The causas (a mix of potatoes and fish or meat) are wonderfully presented in the form of little round towers. The atmosphere is quite elegant but a little cool. The pisco sour is just striking good as in most of the Peruvian restaurants. I just experienced a similar good one in Chile.

Buenos Aires – Reservation is key…long waiting time, but it is worth it. Mostly tourists are going to the Cabrera nowadays and not to mix up with Cabrera Nr 2. This is probably the most expensive “meat” restaurant in Buenos Aires, but you get everything from the cow from blood sausage to Argentinean Kobe beef – WAGYU in best quality. You will not be disappointed. Do not order a lot of side dishes, best just a salad; otherwise there will be not enough space for the best pieces.
Buenos Aires – Cool restaurant in Palermo since many years. The light and breezy atmosphere makes this a lovely spot for a lunch – hand-drawn on the menu the food is even more delicious and prices moderate. They have also good pasta and milanese. Tables inside and outside.

Istanbul – Very sweet, simple restaurant with a set menu. You pay about 40 EUR, but you get as a starter about 20 (!) different mezze. This is followed by two other courses and dessert. Wine and water is included in the price. So you better go hungry, portion are huge. There is a patio where you can sit outside in summer. The restaurant houses also about 30 cats that are waiting for a little piece to share with them.

Istanbul – Oertakoy, the place to be and a must while in Istanbul! For the Angelique you need to reserve about 1 week in advance. We were there on a Friday evening in October and could still sit outside directly at the Bosporus. The food was decent Mediterranean food with a Turkish twist but people watching and atmosphere satisfying even more. The Anjelique restaurant converts into a Bar and Club after dinner – if weather is nice only with a roof of stars!

Istanbul – Really worth going there for lunch on the terrace directly at the Bosporus. Order Mezze, also when they are not on the menu, this is really a perfect lunch accompanied with a nice Turkish wine while you are watching the ships coming and going……
