A pleasant place, lots of tables, fast and helpful service, a large selection of breakfasts and more! There is a breakfast option for two on the menu at once, even with a small discount compared to the single option, but I can't say about their equivalence, they brought water for free, breakfast includes everything that it should, we ate and even asked to pack some of it with us. The only significant drawback is the price, 1,120 lira, for a double breakfast and two cups of coffee - it's certainly too much, but prices in Istanbul are generally high, so it's definitely worth a look.

We wandered into this place thanks to the locals from a nearby establishment. The time was after 23, when kitchens were already closed in many establishments. The demand for the restaurant is high in the evening, we thought we wouldn't be able to sit down, but they put us in! We were satisfied and full. We are glad that we tried something new. We took two salads (with quinoa and the second with shrimp) and "manti 21". I rate the dishes 9.8 out of 10, I took off a little because of the amount of oil in the salad with shrimp. The portions are large, 1 salad and a hot dish are enough for two. Very hungry- three meals maximum. We don't recommend any drinks, that's why we drank tea. They bring an "inviting" glass of water. Pleasant atmosphere and staff. Someone speaks English, someone only understands it. The contingent is different, but it seems that the locals are sitting. We didn't feel any tension. Everything is just super.

Great location near Galata Tower and Taksim Square. The prices are the same as in the neighboring cafes. We visited several times, both at lunch and for breakfast. There are practically no people in the morning, you can stay both on the street and inside the establishment. The breakfasts are hearty and delicious. Menemen is incomparable. It is more difficult to find seats after 15-00, and in the evening it is possible to wait for tables.

It's a delight and the best dumplings in all our travels! The dough is hot, the minced meat is very tender, and on top there is also a fillet of marbled beef, and in addition a plate of salad! Don't be fooled by hunger, take just one serving, they are huge, and you risk falling out of the salad and hot.

A very cozy and delicious place. The portions are huge and the price is pleasant. I recommend breakfast for two (you can safely order it for three). QR menu in Turkish and English. Responsive and polite waiters, understand both Russian and English, and explanations on their fingers😂 We returned there several more times after the first visit. There are a lot of cute cats, some are really arrogant. There were no photos of food left, it was too delicious, there is only a photo of a cat✨

Great atmosphere, delicious food! Very carefully when ordering ! Very large portions))) the prices are pleasant. A bigger selection of wines and beers! There is often a full load in the evening! There is a high probability that you will not find an empty seat. Excellent breakfasts! A youth cafe format, but suitable for the older generation) You will be satisfied! We often return to this place. The quality is always at the same level

We lived near this place: the food was delicious, the portions were large. It is better not to take a cold cappuccino, especially for coffee lovers (there will be more water than coffee/ I didn't taste the coffee). I'll give you 5 for breakfast and 5 for the location.

We were in the evening, around 21, on Tuesday, there was a full landing. I ordered a truffle burger, I didn't feel the truffle, but the burger was delicious with pickled onions. Alfredo Fettuccine pasta is delicious, I recommend it, with a pleasant piquancy. A negroni costs 540₺ here, while it is the cheapest (in Fatih it will be from 800). The atmosphere of a typical bar.

A good cafe, but it is worth considering that it is in demand, i.e. in the evening it is difficult to get a table in the queue. The menu is delicious, but there is a big problem with smokers, it spoils the impression. The cafe is small and if you want silence, then this place is not for you, it's crowded. Prices, as elsewhere in Istanbul, at the time of writing are 350-500 liras per dish.

We came here for dinner more than once during the trip. The prices are like everywhere else, the portions are very large, and most importantly - an amazing atmosphere with pleasant music. Thanks to the candlelight in the evenings, the place becomes very cozy. As soon as you sit down, they pour you a glass of cool water for free and fill it up if necessary. The place is just wonderful!

The food is mostly spicy, which is not suitable for everyone. It tastes mediocre. It's noisy, there are a lot of people, many people smoke.

A great place for breakfast. Pleasant service. Low prices compared to the establishments around, large portions. They pour water for free. One of the few places where tips are not included in the bill, but they definitely deserve them. If you are also shocked by Istanbul prices for mediocre dishes, then this cafe is for you)

Moscow Jean Jacques in the best years.Expensive.100 meters from the stairs with the best view of the Bosphorus and sunset.Most likely, you will be the only tourists in a hall packed with local expats.The cat is on the chair, the waiter will take out the soup for a taste.Coffee will not be included in the bill if you talk to the waiter looking into his eyes, but not on the menu.
