Fodor's Expert Review Borsa Lokantası

This simple spot is part of a small chain of self-service, cafeteria-style eateries that has been in business since 1927 and it continues to attract a hungry crowd that comes to eat inexpensive yet well-prepared food. The offerings change daily, and include dishes like stuffed artichokes and baked lamb with eggplant puree. There is also an appealing selection of desserts, so you might want to leave room. Borsa is close to Eminönü, making it convenient for a quick meal before or after a boat ride on the Bosphorus or a shopping excursion in the Spice Bazaar.
