Istiklal Caddesi was not under the invasion of Arab tourists back then… University students, Studded, purple-headed types, European tourists, young white-collar workers… It would be a riot of colors when those who broke their rope at the weekend joined in.. “You can meet all kinds of people here,” said one of his uncles, walking down Istiklal Street one day.. We laughed at him explaining to us as if we were seeing it for the first time… But that was it.. This variety was beautiful, lively, colorful, vibrant.
There was PANO… By the fish market… Historic wine house strong>… How much we loved, how much we used to go. He orders our cheese plate from the front, with a glass of wine, on top of it, potato croquettes and cheddar pancakes… That was enough… Maybe that’s enough of our money… Then it was closed BOARD… Board closed, Viktor Levi closed, Wine is closed… We are surprised… We are sad…
Years have passed. Having served as a waiter at Pano for many years at that time, İsmet Bey became a chef sommelier at Özgür Chef restaurants, became a restaurant manager, but he could not forget Pano. He made a point of it, took Özgür Chief as a partner and opened Pano again. I had the opportunity to visit Pano and İsmet Bey in one of them.. Same magical atmosphere, same cheese plate with easter eggs, my eyes filled with tears. The Clipboard is the same as 20 years ago. Except for the taste-breaking Özgür Chef touches on the menu such as shashlik, meatballs, sausage. What can we say, better than that, candlestick apricot. Go, get to the bottom of nostalgia, Gezenti Mom advice.
