Also for breakfast, one of the best places. With view over the Bosphorus and the bridges, amazing food and the best Bellini's and Mimosa's. Can be busy on weekends, you may have to wait for some time for a table.

A beautiful place to visit, but definitely try some of the "Meze's" here. Meze's are small traditional Turkish dishes you eat with bread that have amazing flavours. You must try them when in Istanbul. Please beware that this building is not a museum. Some of the restaurant and shopowners don't like it when you walk through their tables or stuff without buying anything. Please be respectful.
