Will probably be jetlagged but would enjoy a quality, unique but not over-the-top meal. Staying at the W, close by a definite plus so we can be back at the hotel before we fall asleep over dessert! Suggestions? Wed Aug 19 20:16:37 -0700 2009 12988 dkeppler 1 4991879 The W, in Besiktas, is pretty central. It's easy to get to many areas easily. I had a horrible meal at Spice Market in the W recently. I would not recommend it. Vogue (in Besiktas) is a nice experience but maybe a bit over the top. I read a good review of a place called Konyali which is right beside the W. But I haven't been there yet. For a meal like this my fallback plan is always Abracadabra in Arnavutkoy. It's a 10 minute taxi ride up the Bosporus from the W. Very interesting and not over the top. Dig through previous posts on this place. Most people seem to like it.
