## What is Lecta?

Where locals actually eat in Istanbul — not the tourist traps.
The city's best tables, cafés, and meyhanes, chosen by people who know it.

Lecta cuts the noise. Every place is chosen one by one — only the spots worth your time make it in.

A real read for every place:
— What to order, when to go, why it matters — a full note, not a blurb.
— What to put on the table, and in what order — so you never get lost in a menu.
— The must-tries you shouldn't skip.
— Search cuisine, meal, and mood at once: "a quiet meyhane in Karaköy, for dinner" in one tap.

With people who know:
— Follow palates you trust, and see where they go.
— Share the places and lists you love with a branded card.
— Save, collect, and build your own Istanbul guide.

Lecta is curated. It doesn't list — it chooses.
Membership unlocks every full note and advanced filter.

Istanbul now. New cities soon.
