 Our dinner at Kumkapi.. by Erkmen
There are many fish restaurants in the area and you can choose between more than twenty of them.. Since now I have been to 4 of them and I can only comment for them..
Neyzen: is probably the most famous, the most luxurious and the expensive one.. If you do not have a "budget limitation" you can try this one..
Evren: is next to neyzen, they have a good service and fish is good.. Prices are better than Neyzen.. But needs to be negotiated..
Green: We ate there once for a company dinner.. As a group we received a good price, but I wont choose there without a group..
Kalamar: The best fish probably we ate was in Kalamar.. Again we went there with our friends.. Group price was good, but dont know for single visits..
Seasonal fish is a must try.. Also Calamary and Lobster has to be tried..
The last time we have paid 18- USD per person as a group. Including a mezze plate, starters (Calamary, etc.. ), One portion of fish and 4 beers (per person)... The mezzes are small starters, but could make the price varies a lot..

You can also walk to kumkapi from touristy area. The last and least adviced is to take a suburban train from Eminonu and after two stops get off.

 Beyaz Balina by ophiro
We read about the restaurant in a book about Istanbul so we decided to go and enjoy.
The good thing about the restaurant is the atmosphere of the place - street musicians , a lot of noise but in the good way.
The service was bad , the food wasnt that good - they added more money and they didnt want to show us the menu , they didnt tell us that the bread and water is 12 YTL and we had to wait a lot for the food.
I ate meat kebap that was avarage , only 6 small pieces of meat with a small portion of french fries and it cost me 15YTL !!!. Leave a Comment Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$11-20 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageAddress: Çapari Sokak No:32 KumkapıPhone: 0212 517 22 59

Do not miss the opportunity of eating fish in kumkapi restaurants! It's delicious! And the costs are reasonable.
Generally speaking, fish was the very food I liked in Istanbul. Plus one or two vegetable salads. Theme: SeafoodPrice: US$21-30 » Currency ConverterComparison: about averageDirections: kumkapi area, near the fruit and vegetable bazaar

For a selection of sea food restaurants get yourself down gedik pasa cad Most of the restaurants are in competition with each other and offer the same fair, mostly a selection of cold appetizers bought to your table on a large tray you choose which dishes you want, followed by catch of the day cooked how you want it, to get there either get a taxi to the president Hotel (best western) and walk straight down the hill, or alternatively go to Kumkapi station, turn right walk till you come to left turn under railway bridge, then continue up hill.

Kor Agop is one of many seafood restaurants and meyhanes in this lively area of Istanbul near the Sea of Marmara. We chose Kor Agop because our guidebook said that it had been operating since 1938 so we figured it must have decent food. As we had to wake up very early for our 6am flight the next morning, we were the only diners in the restaurant at 4:30pm. But they were more than happy to serve us dinner. I gather that they only serve what is available fresh that day as our menus were laminated and had prices marked in grease pen next to those items that were available. We ordered a couple of mezzes to start (eggplant and tomatoes, fava/broad beans) and two mains: fried bluefish and the shrimp cassarole. The cassarole came in a medium-sized ceramic dish and included, besides the shrimp, tomatoes, peppers, mushrooms, and a light cheese. A very rich dish and also very good. The bluefish were cooked well, fried with the tails and heads intact. And besides the rather bony spine, the entire fish was edible. The heads, in fact, were the best part as they were really crunchy! The mezzes were equally excellent. They also brought us some nice fresh crusty bread and we chased it all down with some bottled water. The entire meal, with service, came to 55 YTL ($44 US).
It was a nice last meal for our trip.
Fried bluefish, shrimp cassarole.

Aphrodit, like all the restaurants in Kumpaki, post a menu outside. Don't bother reading it, when you are inside the prices all change.
Turbot, 100 lira (£45) per KG. You are charged for water, which the waiter puts on the table and opens without asking. You are charged for mezze, which the waiter brings to the table on a tray and asks, what you want, without telling you, it is charged per dish and not some 'free nibbles' while you order. You pay 16 lira (£8) for about 8 pieces of clamari. 18 lira for lamb chops that when they came, for my friend I thought were a joke. it should have been in the kids menu. Two lamb chops, about as thin as folded paper and small as a child's lolipop and about 20 french fries. My fish, bream arreives with a slice of onion and lemon. Thats it, no sides. I was so disgusted by the restuarant and the feeling I had been 'duped' that I ate only a little of the fish paid and left and went to eat somewhere else.
the waiters were rude and pushy. If you read the other comments on this page about how good and authentic this place is, believe me, they must be employees or owners of the restaurants

This is the one restaurant in Kumkapi to be avoided. As the taxi stopped at the front end of the street a "salesman" almost pushed us inside the empty, cold restaurant, promising us an unforgettable experience. Unforgettable it was: the restaurant was cold, the waiter trying to push all sorts of unsolicited advice and meals. The food was of poor quality, we waited for the fish 45 min to come, as though they were cooking a lamb, not grilling a fish. Last but not least, the bill: 105 YTL, roughly 50 euro for one grilled fish and two salads. The price for some of the fish is indicated "by Kg", misleading you to think it is next price in the menu.
One piece of advice: while in Istanbul, eat where the locals eat, rather than in empty restaurants, with pushy doormen. Check the menu and ask the price whenever your are not sure of it. Istanbul offers otherwise a wonderful culinary experience. Enjoy!
