From Lonely Planet:
"Refik is the original meyhane (tavern) in the Asmalimescit area and it's always full of large groups of liquored-up locals enjoying the convivial (and noisy) atmosphere and decent meyhane food."
Serving lunch and dinner daily.
"Tucked into a back street in Beyoglu, Refik is unassuming, even unimpressive, from the outside. But this little restaurant has been an institution in the neighborhood since its inception in 1954. ... a menu distinct to the Black Sea region, and therefore heavy on dishes with black cabbage."
