Plenty of guides recommend Fazil Bey as the spot for Turkish coffee for a good reason, but don't…read morejust take their word for it. Even if you are on the European side, take the ferry and try out this local favorite! Turkish coffee differs from convention in the preparation method. Instead of deriving and separating the coffee drink from the ground, Turkish coffee actually derives the drink directly from the coffee ground without separation. The result is a concentrated coffee that is almost as strong as Italian espresso but with more grainy taste from the ground, and I believe Fazil Bey does this well with the ground from their excellent home-roasted beans. The aroma from the coffee in Fazil Bey is an undeniable testament of the quality! Each cup is about 7 TL and includes a piece of the delicious lokum (Turkish delight) from the terrific Sekerci shop. When you find yourself in the Asian side of Istanbul, definitely try this epitome of Turkish coffee!
