Çakmak Kahvaltı Salonu — Restaurant in Beşiktaş

Hands down the best breakfast kahvalti restaurant ever. ✋🤚

I only write google reviews if the waiter/owner asks nicely, but our waitress, Hacer (pretty blonde bob girl), was so so so nice and our food was absolutely delicious I'm making this review on my own accord ☺️😇

Hacer was friendly and her tone was welcoming the second we came in, as well as when taking our order (not to mention the other staff were also very nice when welcoming us). She even told us 3 kaymaks were too much so we got 2 to her advice, but it tasted so good we got another one anyway haha 😛 she kept an eye on us and refilled our bread when needed, and i guess we cleared our plates so much she gave us another small plate of kaymak 🥺🥺

Also the bread was SO GOOD?! Its not meant to be ordered since its complementary but I'd order it if it wasnt anyways. The traditional fried bagel and the bagel with chocolate was very good too. Not too oily and inside was so soft 🤩

Been in Istanbul for a month and this is genuinely the best place I've eaten in terms of service and taste.

Will highly highly recommend going here for turkish breakfast (they serve it all...

Found this place while doing a google search for breakfast. It was an amazing experience - such good traditional Turkish breakfast foods. 100% recommend a drop by if you are in the area. We were in Taksim and it was a brief taxi ride and small walk away!

We ordered the fried egg with yellow cheese, menemen with sucuk, a cheese plate; and the honeycomb cream. Bread came free and it was topped up by staff as we ate. We also ordered chai - they were attentive and provided new hot tea as you finished it up. I don’t know if it was free or if it came at a fee, either way - I appreciated staff’s attentiveness.

The cheese plate is probably best for 3-4 people. With just 2 of us + the other things we had ordered, it was a bit much. The fried egg with yellow cheese was good, the menemen was a bit more runny than we would have liked but it came with good flavors. We recommend adding the melted cheese to it and eating it with bread. Honeycomb cream was a nice sweet aspect to our breakfast - we also ate this with bread.

All up it was 570TRY - about $30 AUD which isn’t too bad.

Bathroom on site; plenty of seating...

It was my first time trying a traditional Turkish breakfast, and I wasn’t disappointed at all. I was looking for a good spot on Google and came across this restaurant. It’s an old and well-known place, so I thought I’d give it a try and honestly, I’m glad I did.

The breakfast was delicious, and the whole experience was really nice. I went on a holiday, so the place was pretty empty, which made the vibe even more enjoyable. Calm, quiet, and relaxing.

Service was quick I got my breakfast in about 4 or 6 minutes. Everything was fresh and well-prepared. I don’t have anything bad to say, really. If I had to mention one thing, I’d say the price was a bit high for just one person. But considering the current situation in the country, it’s totally understandable.

All in all, a great spot. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a proper...
