Rami Restaurant in Sultanhamet, Istanbul, caters to tourists but is worth the visit. Serving Ottoman cuisine in a barroque Western style setting, the experience is very pleasant - but the check ... high!
The dramatic view of the Blue Mosque at night as seen from the third floor is simply fantastic!
We went with Coco who is curently working and living in Istanbul. I ordered a main course and dessert, and could not resist the basket with warm bread!
My choice was a stewed lamb, Ottoman style. It is served in an oval pewter dish.
The portions are rather small, but the lamb was delicious.
I ordered a coupe of home made compote, with peaches, cherries, and quince in a light syrup.
We had a great time, but were sorry to see that this magnificent three storey mansion that houses the restaurant was almost empty!
We paid $60 per person for three main courses, three desserts, one appetizer, and one bottle of Turkish wine.
Bon appetit!
