On my recent trip to Istanbul, I reunited with an old friend and we made a beeline for Emirgan Sütiş--because some places aren't just restaurants, they're homecoming rituals. When I lived in Istanbul, this spot was practically my second living room. My family, my friends, me... we all gravitated here like moths to a flame (or Turks to tea). The weather was perfect, which meant sitting outside with the full Bosporus experience. I swear, one minute I was sipping my tea, and the next I was fully hypnotized by the view, contemplating if I should just move back and become a professional tea-drinking waterfront philosopher. The breeze, the boats, the clinking of tiny tea glasses--pure magic. The staff? Surprisingly excellent. Attentive without hovering, friendly without being fake, and patient enough to deal with two people taking way too long to decide between breakfast or also more breakfast. We went classic: a traditional Turkish breakfast spread. Even though I've recently lost weight and now eat like a polite bird, I still forced myself (for scientific and nostalgic purposes, of course) to enjoy every bite. The cheese selection was spot-on, the tomatoes actually tasted like tomatoes (a luxury these days), and the menemen was perfectly runny--just the right level of "don't wear white." And the bread... let's just say it kept mysteriously disappearing from the table. No idea how. Must have been the wind. The only reason I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is that the place can get very busy, which sometimes means waiting longer than you'd like, but honestly, with that view, complaining feels rude. Overall, Emirgan Sütiş is still the charming, delicious, Bosporus-side classic I remember. I'm already plotting my return--preferably with no diet, no schedule, and unlimited tea refills. read more

I do not recommend this place, mainly because of the prices. The breakfast is very ordinary and offers nothing special compared to other good breakfast restaurants. There are no special items, no rich or fixed breakfast menu, and nothing that justifies the cost. However, the prices are 1.5 to 2 times higher than other best restaurants. Especially for FOREIGNER Visitors , please be careful -- this is not the Sütiş it used to be. Based on my experience yesterday, I do not recommend it at all. read more

This is my second time coming to this amazing place for Turkish breakfast. Located next to the marmara sea, with the amazing view. The customer service is well know that's why this place is always packed. Me and my wife and her friend waited in line for like 10 minutes to sit down. This turkish breakfast consist of the normal veggies bread and different dips of jelly, butter, Nutella and honey for the . They also give you beef burek and meneme( scramble eggs with peppers . They also have fresh squeeze orange juice . You want to go to a NIce breakfast spot go to Emirgan. read more

Emirgan Sütiş - Main entrance to Emirgan Sutis Restaurant. - Turkish Near Me - Istanbul, 34

Personal Favorites: Turkish Tea and Sight Viewing Style: Turkish Ambiance: Amazing View of Bosporus Service: Great. Friendly and very fast Sutis is famous with Desserts made with dairy products. I have never seen any Cafe faster than fast-food​ restaurant. Staff is always smiling and very conservative. The service​ industry in Turkey is very pleasing either you are a Tourist or you are a local dude:) Surprisingly​ Tip Culture is never developed here. If you tip them and end up visiting the same place. People will welcome you like​ a King instead of Prince :) Very good and relaxing ambiance and very very good service. Parking is a bit problem but Taxi or Valet options are available. Hope you enjoy read more

Average taste of food. Always noisy and crowded environment. Even at midnight busy like hell. Staff trying to look proffessional but they are always around your neck, cleaning table, moving the plates has not finished yet. Like saying 'clear the table, make room for new customers'. They did not let us sit the table near the fence which was a hot spot. They said it was reserved and they are coming in ten minutes. We left one hour later, no one came to sit. I had a headache all night because of the noise. I would keep out. read more

They do Turkish breakfast by the Bosphorous wonderfully!! I've come here in large and small groups and frequent this spot often. I usually get the plain menemen and ask to substitute the assorted bread basket for a basket of simit. In the past, I have added cucumbers with tomatoes on the side, but the tomatoes are never good... Even in the summer the tomatoes lack flavor and are tough. Skip 'em!!! Service is ok and the food is dependable. They also make a great cappuccino. There's lots of outdoor seating, but if you have your heart set on getting one on the edge you should plan to arrive on the early side 8AM on weekends. Saturday is a better bet than Sunday, as breakfast places are more crowded on a Sunday. read more
