Red River Pub Restaurant, Istanbul, Turkey

Red River Pub Restaurant

Istanbul's Red River Pub, on Hüdavendigâr Caddesi near the Orient Express Hotel and next to the İlkay Hotel, is a great place to relax with a soft drink, coffee, tea, beer, whiskey, and a snack or full meal.

Named after the classic John Wayne movie, Red River Pub's American Western theme may seem out of place in Istanbul, but western movies are really international. Everybody loves them, and both Turks and foreign visitors enjoy the comfortable atmosphere here.

Red River Pub, Sirkeci, Istanbul, Turkey

In 2011 the menu was changed. It now includes numerous popular international dishes done with a Turkish twist, as well as excellent Turkish dishes.

In November 2011, I had the Koruk Kebap, slices of succulent lamb interspersed with slices of goat cheese, on a bed of koruk, a tart herb-plant gathered between the rocks in the hinterland of İzmir. The plant grows only a few weeks each year, and must be found and gathered at that time. It shares the name koruk with the Turkish version of verjus, the juice of unripe fruit (grapes, cherries, etc.), which flavor it resembles in its tartness.

How does a bar have such refined food? The kitchen is under the direction of the chef at the nearby Paşazade Restaurant. More...
