Neolokal is recognized by many as the best restaurant in Turkey, and I went there with great expectations. For me, I like two types of restaurants the most: traditional and authentic, or innovative. Neolokal gave me the feeling that it wanted to innovate, but it could not break away from traditional thinking, and the overall taste was average. However, the companions who dined with me that night were very chatty, which made up for the regret in food.

Neolokal是许多人公认的土耳其最好的餐厅，这一次我也是满怀期待的去用餐。对我来说，最喜欢两种餐厅：要么传统地道，要么改革创新。而Neolokal给我的感觉是想要努力创新，却始终挣脱不了传统的思维，总体味道也是一般。倒是当晚一起吃饭的同伴们都很聊得来，弥补了美食方面的遗憾。

很艰难的订到了位置，生怕迟到早早就出发了，好在提前了到，已经差不多满人了，我吃了两个小时的10道菜，味道确实值得一赞，但是速度太慢了，有点拉胯，不过还是得承认那是一个美妙的夜晚。这地方值得二刷。

It was very difficult to book a table. I left early for fear of being late. Fortunately, I arrived early and the place was almost full. I ate 10 dishes in two hours. The taste was really worth praising, but the speed was too slow, which was a bit disappointing. However, I still have to admit that it was a wonderful night. This place is worth visiting twice.

工作人员、食物和景色都很棒，品尝菜单和搭配的葡萄酒绝对是完美的

Without a doubt, the main course of steak is always the most anticipated. Whether it is ribeye or sirloin, the meaty aroma wafts through the air when it is served. The rich and extreme aroma of fat is simply amazing~

Turkish ice cream
From the rainbow stairs, we walked through the alleys to Istiklal Street.
Istiklal Street is the largest pedestrian street in Istanbul, with many shopping malls and restaurants. We just came here and it was not lunchtime yet, so we decided to have ice cream first.
I didn&#39;t choose the funny Turkish ice cream. I had eaten it at the attractions in Antalya. It might be the stalls at the attractions. It was not very delicious. I chose this one-MADO. This is a national chain ice cream shop in Turkey. It may not be the one linked, because the store on Ctrip&#39;s receipt is not complete. This one is also a chain with many stores. Although it is more expensive than others, it is indeed delicious and the standards are uniform.
There are many flavors to choose from. Pistachio flavor is the most recommended. The taste is not very sweet and has a strong milky taste, but the pistachio flavor is not too tasted. Cranberry flavor is not recommended, it is too sour. The chocolate one is okay, not sweet or bitter, just right. I like to eat vanilla flavor, which is full of milk flavor. You can put two balls in each cone, so you can taste one more flavor.
Delicious!

The restaurant is spacious and uniquely decorated, with beautiful and elegant architecture. The coffee is delicious. The tiramisu is smooth and I really liked it. The service is also good. Definitely worth a try.
