The ordinary refettorio and bar

Bomonti grows more important to Istanbul's dining scene by the day. Ordinary is an Italian restaurant founded by the creators of Zula and Batard.

It sits on the ground floor of the building that also houses Fatih Tutak's Türk, and has a lovely garden. Both the garden and the interior are a pleasure.

The food is good and the service is high-level. The quality-to-price ratio sits at a good point. The garden is breezy and airy, particularly welcome on hot summer days. It was very busy on the weekday evening we went — Ordinary has already found its crowd. The bar is ambitious too.
