Arnavutköy, Seafood restaurant in Arnavutkoy Mahallesi, Turkey.
Arnavutköy is a neighborhood along the European coast of Istanbul featuring traditional wooden houses that face the Bosphorus. The architecture and waterfront setting define the character of this area.
The area was originally called Horasmoto until the 19th century, when Albanian immigrants arrived and shaped its current name. This wave of migration brought new residents and changed who lived in the place.
The neighborhood keeps its character through old wooden houses, churches, and synagogues left by former Greek and Jewish residents. These buildings still tell the story of the diverse community that once lived here.
The restaurant accepts reservations for dinner and provides parking for guests. The waterfront location makes it easy for visitors to arrive on foot along the shore or by private car.
The kitchen follows traditional recipes handed down from generations of Bosphorus fishermen and restaurant owners. These cooking techniques and flavor combinations run deep in the local fishing heritage.
