Beyaz Firin traces its origins to a small bagel shop in Istanbul's Balat district in the 1800s, making it one of the city's most classic-elegant culinary institutions. The 400sqm Suadiye flagship spreads across 3 floors with a winter garden, serving centuries-old recipes alongside a modern brasserie menu. Unlike other branches, this location offers alcoholic beverages, making it perfect for extended seaside visits.
