We were pleasantly surprised that at the back of the restaurant that looks pretty typical. They have a huge, beautiful garden where you can have parties and post large gatherings. it is covered by trees very cool and inviting. Also, the pastries that we got were really good and the waiter was really friendly. They also have a full kitchen that serves typical traditional Turkish food.

I guess that, having now been there for a light breakfast five mornings out of the six here in Istanbul (I should have gone on the day I missed, too) probably says it all. Decent coffee, really fresh croissants and all at a sensible price. Good value too. It's only about 5 minutes from Taksim Square (just past Carrefour) so not too far to walk from the metro.

It's only a few floors, and even after the elevator, you'd have to walk up a couple floors. You seat yourself. Almost any table has a view. The Golden Horn and all the sites in Fatih are nice but familiar. I actually found the close up view of the Galata Tower the most impressive. There's Wi-Fi (with a multi-step sign in process, but the staff will walk you through it). The service is good. We spent 23 TL before tips for a coffee and a frozen strawberry drink - you definitely pay for this view. I liked that my strawberry drink wasn't too sugary, but there was strawberry syrup decorating the inside of my glass that I decided not to mix into the drink.

Good sweets and good coffee. I need to add 42 more characters. Actually only 8 now. Fread more
