Living it up in Istanbul!

Istanbul has some of the finest clubs and restaurants if you're looking to eat fancy food and party it up while you're in the city. A few that I highly recommend are given below. Be prepared to run into some major celebs so dress to kill and as my dad says, 'Put on your dancing shoes.' :)

Reina restaurant and club: One of the most exciting places in Istanbul is also one of the priciest. However, for those eating at the restaurant, the club entrance fee is waived. You can drive to Reina or go by boat to beat the traffic. It is one of the favourite haunts of some of my favourite celebs and has a ridiculously lovely view of the Bosphorus. :)  It also has food to die for. A restaurant that turns into a club at night, it is one of the most hip places in Istanbul. Don't forget to make reservations in advance.

Address: Muallim Naci Avenue 44, Ortakoy, 0090 212 259 5919

Ulus 29: Another lovely restaurant and club, the decor of which is so traditionally Turkish, it makes you feel like you've been transported to the Ottoman era. Along with this very colourful, vibrant decor Ulus 29 offers gorgeous views of the Bosphorus. In cooler weather, you must sit out on the open terrace. The food is excellent although quite expensive. Make reservations and leave your hotel early keeping in mind the Istanbul traffic.

360 Suada Club: Located on an island in the middle of the Bosphorus, you get to Suada by boat (which is free of cost). It offers a 360 view of the entire city, both Asian and European istanbul and an interesting menu; Fusion, Turkish with a very international twist. It's a lovely, very romantic restaurant. It was perfect to go to alone with my husband. The service although was not the best sadly. There are other restaurants on Suada island, but we couldn't find time to visit the others, but the view of the city around us gleaming in all its finery, lit up so beautifully, made up for the bad service. A true romantic, I fell in love. Please remember to make reservations.
