Fodor's Expert Review Meze by Lemon Tree
Editor's Note: This location is no longer in operation.
The meze selection in this trendy and attractive spot changes seasonally and even daily, and puts a clever international spin on traditional favorites—a gazpacho-like, basil-infused version of acılı ezme (red pepper spread) is served in a shot glass—while others, such as sea bream with chickpeas and mustard sauce, are friendly chef-owner Gençay Üçok's unique creations. Main dishes include standouts like lamb sirloin with baked potatoes and beets and a delicious variation on sea bass cooked in paper.
