What travelers say:
We wanted a restaurant that was close our nieces home. She was ready to deliver her baby at any moment. She suggested Arnavutkoy Balikcisi. Convenient with no parking problem. It was our last full day in our adopted home, Istanbul. Our group of nine (ten counting the soon to be born baby) was seated at a roomy table with comfortable seating next to the open window overlooking the Bosphoros. What a setting. The staff was attentive and catered to our diverse group. We lingered and talked for many hour without any pressure to move from our pleasant surroundings. Being our last full day, it was difficult to bring the meal to an end. The service was only surpassed by the food that was served. We were graced with a seemingly endless selection of mezze and delicacies fresh from the sea. So fresh that we supervised the delivery of fresh fish directly from the nets on a fishing boat. I feel that an afternoon at Arnavutkoy Balikcisi will become a family tradition for the last day of our future visits. By the way, it was a boy!
