Meze by Lemon Tree (Asmalimescit Mahallesi Meşrutiet Caddesi) – artfully-prepared & presented Turkish dishes are served here. Diners will find a range of items such as the traditional pilaki (beans stewed in olive oil) accompanied by red onion, parsley and pieces of chestnuts; Acılı Ezme (Turkish gazpacho) — prepared with finely diced tomato, pickled cucumber, spring onion, garlic and seasoned with sumac, fresh coriander and pickle brine; and a creamy paste of pungent ezine cheese, spring onion, avocado, yoghurt, red pepper, red onion and pistachio. Even its appetizer dish – snails, really stands out. They’re cooked zeytinyalı style– stewed in olive oil with Jerusalem artichoke, fresh basil, chunks of orange and carrot. –
