If you are on a budget, eat outside of the square. The prices are 1/2 the price or more when you walk up a few blocks towards the grand bazaar or towards Galata Bridge.

When you buy the wonderfully smelling roasted chestnuts, make sure the vendor does not put a couple of rotten pieces. It will spoil your taste buds.
