Tier Achieved:
Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" β not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
Galata Restaurant has nailed the art of eating by the water, and with a 5/5 hygiene rating and 4.6 stars on Google, it seems the locals agree. Their calamari is next level, and trust us, it won't leave you with that regrettable oily coating like some other places. Mel C is already planning her staycation around this place, and honestly, who can blame her? The fried prawns here are rated as 'the best ever' by Kevan, and if that doesn't say something, we don't know what does.
It's got that perfect canal-side vibe β grab a drink, enjoy the view, and watch the world go by. The service is as friendly as youβd hope, with Layla setting the standard high. Whether youβre after Turkish dishes or just good old fish and chips, youβll be well taken care of. A solid spot for those looking to chow down in a picturesque setting.
