A family-run cafe where breakfast is served in 100-year-old antique cups in a magical garden. Called the best breakfast in Istanbul by regulars, Velvet Cafe has the authenticity and personal touch that no concept restaurant can manufacture.

Editor's Tip

The 100-year-old antique cups are not theme dressing; they're the house tea service and they matter. Reserve the garden specifically; the indoor room is dim and small. Order the legendary breakfast for two and budget two and a half hours. Avoid weekend mornings without reservation.
