Start with a cocktail in the bar on the ground floor before moving up to the first floor, where Liman is ensconced in a laid-back yet stylish setting boasting a stunning terrace overlooking the Bosphorus. Time-honoured recipes are given a refined modern twist with meticulous attention to detail. Examples include crispy lahmacun bursting with the rich flavors of lamb and beef, finished with fresh herbs and lemon, or sourdough pide with house-made pickles. Then for dessert: katmer with pistachio and Maraş ice cream. These chefs masterfully balance a reverence for tradition with cutting-edge technique – therein lies their genius.
