If you are in town and looking for fabulous sushi Takashi is the place to go! It is a stylish sushi bar located in the downtown area, serving a wide selection of fish and some very interesting things like monkfish liver pate which is definitely worth a try.

One of the best "fine dining" options is The New Yorker. Located just down the street from Takashi's the entrance is below street level and a seems a little unusual for a restaurant. After buying the mandatory "temporary club membership" (the New Yorker has an open bar which requires it to be a "private club" according to Utah law) you'll find an upscale dining room with excellent food and a good wine list.

Also make sure to pay a visit to the Red Iguana. Must be the best Mexican restaurant in town. There's always a crowd of people waiting outside the small restaurant, so bring some time. You'll be rewarded with very authentic food and some good tequila cocktails!

On my last trip to Turkey I didn't really have time to do anything, but if you happen to be in Istanbul you should definitly get a reservation at 360 (and by reservation I mean it, it wasn't possible for me to get a table for one person, without a reservation)!

It is located in the middle of Istiklal Caddesi (pedestrian area with tons of shops) off of Taksim square on the top floor of an apartment building. After passing thru the mandatory metal detector check on the floor below, you will be led up to the penthouse style restaurant. Just for the amazing view it is worth a visit! But the international fusion kitchen is very good, too. Try and get a table close to the window and enjoy the spectacular view over Istanbul.
