I had seen videos about this spot from travel bloggers on YouTube and knew it was a not to miss…read morespot for me when visiting Istanbul. This little restaurant is located towards the south end of the busy Istiklal street and slightly North of the Galata Tower. The area is super touristy so I was skeptical about how good this place would be-- however, I was not disappointed! I came with my mom for a late breakfast around 12:30pm. The restaurant is small, and cozy. As soon as you walk in you see a counter on your right where the owner is serving the famous kaymak with honey. There is seating both upstairs and downstairs and most tables were already taken. We found a table inside and a nice waitress who spoke some English came to give us menus and take our order. There is a variety of options but we tried: - Classic menemen: this dish came with scrambled eggs cooked in a delicious and light sauce of tomatoes, onions, peppers and mild spices. Imagine a shakshuka but less saucy. The flavor tasted very fresh and this was a comforting dish to complement our meal! There are also other versions with cheese, sausage, both, etc. - Exquisite breakfast plate: this plate was very nice! It included several types of cheeses, fresh cucumbers and tomatoes, some olives (including grilled which were my favorite!), the most delicious and creamy butter I've had in my life, jam, and our first taste of the kaymak and honey-more on this later- super complete and delicious if you want to sample several things and want a complement for your egg dish. It also came with a few pieces of Simit or the Turkish sesame bagel. Perfect to share with someone else! - Kaymak with honey: obviously this was the star of the show. Creamy, rich, a little sweet on its own, milky... even alone the kaymak was mindblowingly amazing. I don't think I've had dairy this good before maybe besides from France. This is basically clotted cream from water buffalo milk directly from a farm. The honey was also delicious, silky, and sweet which complimented the kaymak well, it also is made fresh by the family. The portion was generous and perfect for sharing. It also comes with a few pieces of simit for you to enjoy with the dish. - Dessert: They offer a variety of desserts! We had heard good things about the rice pudding but opted to try the almond pudding now that we were quite full after lunch and wanted something lighter. The almond pudding was like a more creamy and less dense pana cotta. Very good! Next time, I want to try the rice pudding or the dessert with chicken but kaymak on its own already feels like a dessert so it is hard to eat the additional dish. Overall, this place completely exceeded my expectations. The quality of the dairy is not something you find easily in big cities and their honey is also to die for. The owner is incredibly kind and even took a photo with me! The wait time is not too long since they have pretty quick service and a simple menu. Don't hesitate to stop here to give it a try!

I love Istanbul . I love Turkey…read more I love the Turks, their heat. I love their baklava . When I was in the old Constantinople, i slept in the area of the Egyptian Bazaar ( Spice Bazaar ) , and this pastry was amazing on the road What walked EVERY morning to reach the heart of the city . Needless to say, every morning I stopped there for breakfast ... and back home , and again every time we went over front . What I had not fossilized , mind you : I eat all the time. But this definitely stole my heart . That much that when my best friend is gone there, last Christmas,as birthday gift ( i luckily was born in that period ! ) I ask her to bring me those baklava . ------------------------------------------------ Amo Istanbul. Amo la Turchia. Amo i turchi, il loro calore. Amo i loro baklava. Quando sono stata nella vecchia Costantinopoli, dormivo nella zona del Bazar Egiziano (bazar delle spezie), e questa pasticceria strepitosa era sulla strada che percorrevo ogni mattina per raggiungere il vivo della città. Inutile dire che ogni mattina mi ci fermavo a colazione... e di ritorno a casa, e ogni volta che ci ripassavo davanti. Non che mi fossi fossilizzata, intendiamoci: io mangio di continuo. Ma questa decisamente mi ha rubato il cuore. Tanto che quando la mia migliore amica c'è stata, lo scorso Natale, come regalo di compleanno (che giust'appunto cadeva a fagiolo!) mi sono fatta portare quei baklava.

I came looking for this place specifically ..I wonder if I came alone that would mean I couldn't have a table out on the terrace .. I think if I was told that I would walk out and never recommend this place to anyone. Just a note to Mangerie " sometimes we come to a resturant solo because we want to enjoy a place all on our own.. One or two is the same .. A person alone is not less that a person with someone.."
