Those sick of the cat piss they serve at Starbucks/Kahve Dünyasi/Carribou and so forth, don't fret!…read moreFor there is Petra and you never EVER have to go near those places ever again. Petra unlike other chains, actually knows how coffee ought to taste like so if you're in Kanyon and need a quick fix, skip the chain coffee shops, skip the chain cafés like The House Café or Well Done or Kitchenette. Come to Petra, Petra welcomes you my fellow Yelpers, come and enjoy some fine Kenyan beans which burst with floral notes. The only downside of Petra is that it's quite tiny. Their main location is around Gayrettere, which is an incredibly cool looking place but hard to get to. However, this just incoming, I just learned that they're opening a new place around Nisantasi, so great news for those with taste buds!

My cousin lives in Nisantasi and said this was the place to come in the chic Bebek neighborhood. We…read moregot a table around 9PM immediately overlooking the Bosphorus, but this was probably because it was Bayram and many Istanbulus were visiting family. A mostly young clientele (under 40), the atmosphere was energetic but not loud, no music. There is a clean, bright, farm-to-table-organic-food-purveyor kind of look to the restaurant. They start you with insanely good, crustly bread and olive oil. The menu features all day breakfast, noodles, fish, sandwiches, burgers, salads... I ordered the quinoa salad and it was delicious, as well as the fruit salad, which was huge and served in a melon. The turkish coffee came with a small tasty cake. The service was friendly, and the price was reasonable given the quality.

The dude with a beard/ Osman would talk to you like you just walked in to prison cell. I will give you an example: we took the menu while waiting to prep our friends to order; Mr.Osman attacked and grabbed it off our hands. Walked us out to look at the menu in the front of the door on the wall. You have to be ready to get humbled if you walk in here. Good luck.
