Neolokal Restaurant Istanbul

Neolokal is one of Istanbul's most thoughtful and ambitious modern Turkish restaurants, where chef Maksut Aşkar has built a menu rooted in Anatolian food culture but expressed through contemporary technique and aesthetic sensibility. The restaurant is located in the Salt Galata financial building in Karaköy, and the dining room's design — with its open kitchen, library of Turkish food books, and natural material palette — reflects a considered connection to culinary scholarship. Aşkar works with small-scale Turkish producers to source ingredients ranging from Kars butter to Antep pistachios, and his fermentation and pickling program has become central to the restaurant's identity and flavor profile.
