The northern neighbourhoods of Istanbul – including Nisantasi, Tevikiye and Istinye – are unashamedly obsessed with beautiful people. If you’re browsing the area’s designer labels, why not head straight to the spiritual home of style, Armani Café? Perched above Istinye Park’s Emporio Armani store, the café’s Italian food is both fashionable and beautifully presented, as are the staff and the customers. Stop in for a coffee, savour a light lunch or spoil yourself with a truffle, porcini and Parmesan evening extravaganza. Saturdays throughout winter are celebrated with special happy-hour cocktails..
