Further down the road, there is similarly inventive fare at the 360, www.360istanbul.com, a swank glass and chrome affair with incredible views of the city. Kokorec, sautéed lamb's intestines traditionally served plain on bread, comes finely chopped with sun-dried tomatoes and a roasted red pepper sauce and baked in filo pastry. In the same Beyoglu area is Cezayir, www.cezayir-istanbul.com, a restaurant-bar converted from an Italian primary school and a favorite with hipsters.
