Istanbul Ataturk Airport (IST)
The Greenport
International Departures Terminal, just after Passport Control
Istanbul, Turkey
The plasma TVs are often tuned to the sports channel, usually showing a football (soccer) game, in this café and bar. It’s the only restaurant after Passport Control with free Wi-Fi. It can be noisy, but the central location makes it a good meeting point. The fajitas are bland and anything served in a basket tends to be deep-fried, but salads and entrées are available as well. The chocolate terrine with raspberry coulis, on the other hand—a dense, fudgy treat—is worth the calories.
