It is right next to Seğmenler Park, enhancing the dining experience with sounds of leaves and a cold breeze. Large groups enjoy this atmosphere for hours on the restaurant deck. My family has been coming here for years and we've almost always had a good dining experience. I have enjoyed watching the cooks make fresh pizzas in an oven that is visible from the dining area.

Favorite deserts: crème brûlée, maple ice cream (akça ağaç) Great Turkish coffee and Americanos as well.
