Sabanci Museum and Muzedechanga

Muzedechanga – Sabanci
Muzedechanga has just been chosen by Wallpaper Magazine as one of the restaurants of the year.
From the creative team that brought us Changa, comes this first class cafe in one of the Bosporous Villages. There is a day menu and one for the evening, food favourites from the Changa menu feature here, but also new tastes – cheese tortelini in lemon sauce is amazing.
The former residence of the Sabanci family, this is now a gallery/museum of art. Currently featuring the Cengiz Khan (Gengis Khan) exhibition til April, with works of art from the Topakapi Galleries!
Its only 20 mins in good traffic from Taksim – so somewhere to go on a wet or cool day.

Vogue is ideally located, though at first when you pull in to the driveway you’ll be thinking that dinner is served in the Besiktas Football Club Gym. Arriving at the 13th floor (no superstition here) you’re suddenly in a new world overlooking Istanbul.
You’re here for the view and an outdoor table on a warm evening is a must. It’s a relaxed atmosphere with diners who have come straight from the office, or tourists who are out for a celebration. The menu is modern and simple – or if you can, there is a separate sushi menu to choose from. Veg options are limited to basic salads or pasta and sauce.
Vogue is part of the Istanbul Doors group of restaurants – who also have Wa-Na and Lokanta in the Taksim area.
