During my recent three-day stay in Istanbul, I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Las Tapas twice, both times with my brother and cousin, and the experience was fantastic on both occasions. From the moment we walked in, the restaurant exuded warmth, with a perfect blend of Turkish tradition and modern comfort.

The true highlight of our visits was the outstanding service provided by our waiter, Mahmut, who goes by the nickname "Jack Sparrow." Mahmut’s charismatic and fun personality added a unique touch to our dining experience. He was incredibly attentive, making sure we had everything we needed and providing fantastic recommendations that made our meals even more enjoyable. His charm, along with his genuine kindness, made us feel like we were dining with an old friend.

The food was absolutely phenomenal. The mezze platters were packed with vibrant, fresh flavors that were the perfect start to the meal. The grilled meats were succulent and cooked to perfection, while the seafood dishes offered light, delicate, and perfectly balanced flavors. Every dish was a celebration of Turkish culinary traditions.

Dining at Las Tapas with my brother and cousin was a highlight of our trip, and Mahmut’s excellent service really made both visits extra special. If you’re in Istanbul, Las Tapas is an absolute must-visit, not only for its incredible food but for the amazing service and hospitality. A big thank you to Mahmut, aka "Jack Sparrow," for making our dining experiences so memorable!
