About Besi Balık Pişirme

Besi Balık Pişirme is a small, no-frills fish restaurant in central Kızılay, on the corner where Selanik Caddesi meets Sakarya Caddesi. As its name says (balık pişirme means fish cooking), it concentrates on one thing: fish and seafood cooked to order, served at its tables or packed to take away. Its appeal is simplicity in the middle of the city centre. A diner writing on Ekşi Sözlük describes it as a fish restaurant that is packed at almost every hour of the day, and says he took a friend from a seaside city there on purpose. Reviewers on Tripadvisor mention calling in for the fish soup, and also praise the salads and the calamari alongside the fish of the day. The restaurant lists its service hours as 11:00 to 21:00 every day, and it can be reached on +90 312 435 19 09. It is a few minutes' walk from Kızılay Square and Kızılay metro station, so it is an easy stop for a late lunch or an early dinner while exploring the city centre.
