Lunch at Fauna is the perfect excuse to visit the Ataşehir district, just outside the city centre. You sit at long tables, often next to other diners, and watch the pasta being freshly made behind the counter. At Fauna, Italian and Turkish cuisine come together in rich, shareable dishes. Think ravioli with a hearty Karayaka lamb and walnut filling. The superb sorbet of organic strawberries, with a creamy texture and nicely tart, is just one example of the focus on local produce. Booking is strongly recommended!
