my family and i visited flekk because it advertised istanbulli cuisine, was close to where we stayed, and looked really, really cool.
we were not disappointed.
the service was brilliant, our server was engaging and charismatic. he offered personal recommendations for food and beer pairing as well. his taste was commendable, because i had his favorite, "shashik kebab" off the chalkboard menu and it was amazing.
anothergreatthing about flekk, my mom is vegetarian, and while they offered quite a few vegetarian dishes anyhow, they even gave her the chance to remove the meat from anything on the menu. the sauce that came with her mushroom appetizer (see picture) was the. absolute. best. sauce. ever. made.
my favorite part was the ambience though, the music was really lovely, as was the setting and lights. the chalkboard was a cool touch- notice the wifi password is a puzzle, so you'll only get wifi if you have the answer, but our server told us it anyway! there was even a little cat outside the restaurant and our server gave me some scraps to feed to it!!!
all the food was reallygreatand if i'm back in istanbul anytime, i will definitely go back to flekk. we all agree that this was one of the best meals we had in turkey.
