istanbul – places

post cover
finally, additional to the post from couple of weeks ago on my visit to istanbul, I tried to put together a small selection on nice places to go to eat, drink or shop. since the city is really huge it is hard to mention or even less – to see all those nice places scattered in this versatile city, but I hope you’ll stil find them interesting enough to give them a try if you’re travelling there sooner or later…. so, here they are.
renting an apartmen in cihangir, beyoglu was the right thing to do. 10 mins. on foot from taxim square it is a very lively, creative, alternative and young part of the city.
the best discovery on serving breakfast was found at the 49cafe
492+Kopie

even though a franchise shops, two other cafes cought my attention on the interior design, food and drinks offer as well as the food presentation. first one is the house cafe. the same group owns the beautiful design the house hotels in istanbul – all designed by my favorite design duo: autoban.

the other one is kahve dünyasi, the one relly nice is we visited was here

as I just checked their page I found out that they have opened their first franchise also in london, near piccadilly circus.. well, well..
so, now about some restaurants… friend, kivanc, who wrote his last review on the city for me in abovemetioned post, took us there: ficcin, one of few circassian restaurants, and ficcin itself is the name of the main pasta dish… imagine kind of ravioli filled with meat or vegetables in a sauce with herbs, of delicious smell and taste….
