Extremely nice place. Prices are twice lower than average level in Istanbul. Food is tasty, and there is a big library downstairs and a dolls museum on the territory in a small building next to the main one.
It's always a big queue there, be ready to spend 30+ minutes waiting.
I recommend this place. You'll have to wait in line for a while, but it's worth it. Is it a restaurant in the library or vice versa, we came as a restaurant.
First, it was very budgetary, for less than 500 lire we ate a warm salad, drank coffee and ate dessert alone for two)
Second: very tasty, everything!
Third: beautiful view
Fourth; very nice waiters and everything is fast
Fifth: interesting interior, high ceilings, beautiful floors, doors with ornaments, maps, bookshelves to the ceiling. No plastic, everything is real 🎉
A great cafe, with a pleasant atmosphere, where you can have a budget and delicious meal. Of course, I had to wait a long time for a table to be available. I will not say that the food is super tasty, but it is very tasty for your money) I recommend it
Beautiful, yes. Inexpensive - compared to Sultanahmet, yes.
But a huge disadvantage is the language barrier. You can't say a word or a half in English. The menu is either in a b/w printout, or by QR code, if there is a local SIM card, since there is no Wi-Fi here either. The waiter tried to help, but in the end they left hungry, because ordering from the menu where only part of the dishes can be seen in the pictures, and everything else in Turkish is a so-so idea. It's good that there are many other cafes and restaurants within 5 minutes and you can at least understand in English what you are ordering.
The queue to enter in the evening on the weekend is 20 minutes.
A library and a cafe, a reading room and coffee, an original space, I think it was either an observatory or a planetarium. There was a queue at the entrance.
A colorful institution. It's not expensive to eat. The only drawback of the menu is in Turkish, before visiting it is better to familiarize yourself with the menu on the website in advance. The waiters speak Turkish, but there is an older one who understands English.
A very atmospheric restaurant, below there is a large library room.
Prices are very low compared to the European part. Coffee is 50 lire, veal steak is 350, and caesar salad is 130 lire.
The structure of the place is very beautiful. However, there was a constant queue for food all day long when I left.
As a service, it was the sloppiest library I've ever seen in my life. Since the books are not sorted and are placed mixed in the cabinets, it is not possible to find the sought-after book. Most of the books are quite worn out. I couldn't find 5 of the 5 different books in my mind in their places.
I was able to drink as much tea and water as I wanted in the library section.
An interesting place, but knowledge of the Turkish language is necessary, the waiters speak only their native language. The menu was also in Turkish. The food was ambiguous, two identical meat dishes brought different degrees of readiness. But in general, a pleasant place with affordable prices.
A wonderful place, unusual interior, excellent service.
Great and delicious dishes at reasonable prices. We drove here every day.
There is a queue, but it's worth it.
The menu is insufficient, if you don't want to wait in line, don't mess at all, except that the atmosphere is good, the staff is good, the food is mediocre
The price is reasonable, the environment is nice. There is a parking lot next to it. If you stay for breakfast at 10 a.m., even on weekdays, you will probably wait in line
You have to wait in line to get in. But it's definitely worth the queue you've been waiting for. The prices are reasonable and the products are delicious.
It is recommended not to visit this wonderful institution and so there are few places in the evenings) everyone will come)
Ps. By the way, this is a library, not just a cafe)
