A hip dive bar – for want of a better explanation – that in good Istanbul fashion serves decent food as well. Its interior has an attractive Parisian feel to it, perfect for a lazy breakfast or afternoon coffee lingering over the paper, while outside a small terrace-like set-up of tables is shaded by leafy creepers that climb over the iron climbing frame. A popular venue with slightly older sophisticated media and cultural types, Urban is often used as a starting-point for an evening’s adventure. The especially nice staff deserves a mention, too.
