Østre Cihangir

A marble-counter oyster bar — sister to Nørre — that just gave Cihangir its first serious raw bar. The address is Firuzağa, Bostanbaşı Cd. No: 4/B, 34425 Beyoğlu/İstanbul.

Østre is the sister place to Nørre, the Nordic-leaning kitchen a few streets away — same owners, narrower brief: oysters and a marble raw bar. That is the kind of detail a listing usually buries under a cuisine tag, and it is why the place is on this feed rather than a roundup of 'new places.'

Istanbul Muse and Oggusto filed the opening. @ostre.ist is the live camera for hours, plates, and the nights they decide to close the terrace. Go for the place first — the seafood · oyster bar is the reason to sit down, but the building is the reason the sitting feels like Istanbul and not a concept flown in last week.
