First review in 8 years!…read more We saw the doner and knew we had to eat here after a long day of exploring the city. Chicken kebab platter came with rice, fries, salad and a grilled tomato and pepper. The chicken and rice doner platter had rice, fries, salad, pickles, tomatoes and a white bread like a tortilla, only drier. We also had the here pancake with is much like a soft tortilla filled with cheese and cooked to order and a hot grill while you watch. The baklava was amazing and fresh. Nothing like what we endure in the United States. The flavors in everything were delicious. I could eat this everyday! It's all fresh and prepared quickly. Service was prompt and very helpful. We had lots of questions and he answered them all. I will say everything he recommended were the most expensive items in the menu. lol They have indoor and outdoor seating. Outdoor appears to be for smokers so it is steeped in cigarette smoke but it's also next to a busy sidewalk and you feel the energy of the city. Highly recommend and we will likely eat here another time before leaving Istanbul.

OMG. How long have I wondered if a place like this still exists in Taksim. Literally, a 33cl beer…read moreis 5TL and the 50cl is 6TL. 6TL!!!! ARE YOU SHITTING ME? This is the best thing ever. I had given up on finding the "cheap" beer, unless you include Papillon, which serves Pera on draft at 4TL (before 5pm). Also, an extensive menu with plenty of yummy looking snack/fast foods. Not to mention an incredible old-style atmosphere akin to a Moroccan courtyard. And very very friendly waitstaff and old guys at the bar. It felt incredibly homey. I can't wait to take my boyfriend there (he's Turkish and always thinks he knows every place) and surprise him with all of it's glory. SO MANY GOOD COCKTAILS! I was going to rate it 4 stars but by the end of this writing my love shot up to 5. Yes.

It's one of the staples of Yeniköy. The food and the prices are ok and it's a sensible choice to…read morehave your breakfast, with the quintessential dish being menemen I think. However where this cafe excels in is the atmosphere, the service and the quality of people it attracts. You can people from all walks of life here, from the extremely rich elite to the middle class teacher. Everybody comes here to have their breakfast. It's a unique mishmash and for that worth visiting. I guess it has to do with it being a snippet of old Istanbul and feeling authentic. The tables, the decor, the waiters, everything feels authentic. This isn't the sort of place you go for a culinary experience, you go here to sit down and enjoy your tea right next to Bosporus. P.S: It's very full on the weekend so be prepared to wait for a table if you want to have your breakfast next to Bosporus.

Of course, the menu is a bit pricey -- I wouldn't eat a full meal here unless it was a special occasion. Drop by for an amazing dessert (the souffle is INCREDIBLE) and some Turk kahvesi. Actually, I'm not a huge Turkish coffee fan. If you're like me, get an iced mocha with whipped cream, for 3TL less than the Starbucks variant! The inside is very nicely decorated, but there is a super cute garden in the back of the restaurant, where you can hide and relax. Unfortunately at the time of this writing there are some renovations, so it may not live up to the praise I'm lathering on. :) Just check it out and if it's unsightly simply lounge outside. A great place for a date or a conversation between friends. Quiet and a well-kept secret. Staff is very friendly and non-interfering.
