The story of Halv Grek Plus Turk

The name Halv Grek Plus Turk ('Half Greek Plus Turk') first appeared around 1990 as a pop-up at Felix, above Fasching on Kungsgatan, where meze came out on big trays. Behind it were Elias 'Saile' Eliasson and Uluc 'Bullen' Telmen, whose parents came from Greece and Turkey.

The restaurant opened properly in October 1996 in the former Est Est Est premises at Jungfrugatan 33 in Östermalm. Bullen's younger brother Umur was involved from the start and their mother Yurdagul helped in the kitchen. The chef Claes Claesson became a partner soon after. The room was designed by Peter Hallén and the bar by Thomas Sandell.

The food is the house's own take on eastern Mediterranean cooking: small meze plates to share, grilled dishes and desserts such as baklava.

Times look wrong, for example because the terrace is on the other side of the building? Fix the location in OpenStreetMap and Stoligt will follow at the next update.

How Stoligt works it out

Every ten minutes we draw a line from each terrace toward the sun and check whether a building or hill is tall enough to block it. Building heights come from OpenStreetMap and ground heights from Lantmäteriet, the Swedish mapping agency. The times assume a clear day, so clouds are not included here. They are on the live map, which shows today's weather.

Trees, parasols and awnings are not in the model, and we don't know exactly where on the pavement the tables stand. Treat the times as an educated guess, often accurate to within ten minutes.
