Ethem Efendi Kahvalti
All-day organic breakfast in a historic Erenkoy mansion
Located in a beautifully restored historic mansion on Ethem Efendi Caddesi in Erenkoy, this breakfast-only destination has become a pilgrimage site for Turkish kahvalti lovers. Founded by Dilek Ciftci, the venue sources organic products from Aegean and Mediterranean villages, featuring 36 varieties of natural jams and eggs from chickens that roam the mansion's garden. With a 500+ capacity across the mansion interior, garden, and terrace, it offers an all-day breakfast experience from 8:30am to 5pm.
