[selin]

alright.

what: christmas dinner
who with: mom, rich brother and me.
compulsory: nice wine list, european or world menu, at least 3 courses, nice ambiance.
please no!: meyhanes, ocakbasýs, bright lights or loud.
ahhh yes: classy not too snobby.
dresswear: only time this year i'm wearing high heels.
hole in my pocket: eh. large but not outrageous. 'tis xmas after all.
area: with a full tummy, it can only be a cab ride from or close to cihangir.

can anyone point me to such a gorgeous place?

[justforfun]

no answers yet, huh
i think that list of requirments threw everyone off...i'm also having a hard time recommending something that fits those.
also i'm sad to hear that that's the only occasion for high heels... oh well... ;D

[selin]

oh, come on. i used to have quite an inkling for good restaurants and gastronomy in general. since i moved here though, i dont think i've had anything other than kofte and maybe maybe some indian food. (my budget significantly suffered moving here). and i cant find a good list ( i had a zagat for nyc) to help me out.
help help. please??

first example: anybody been to Vogue?

[charly]

Vogue's in my building. Nice place. Have to dress up which is great (so many places are dress-down in this town). Popular place with clients. If you want me to nip up and see what they're doing for Christmas day/night let me know.
