Forno Balat, İstanbul 'un En İyi Kahvaltı, Lahmacun ve Pizza & Pide Mekanları, Sizinle! — Restaurant in Fatih

NOT recommend it AT ALL! I’m very angry! I was in this place several times, I brought my friends there. BUT it was THE LAST time when I was in Forno!

Several days ago we were there at breakfast-buffet and there are things that we met in Forno (SHAME): employees do not understand elementary English at all. I asked them several times to bring me hot/fresh burek and they didn’t understand me! We try to explain it with Google translate. ALWAYS they ‘rolled their eyes’ and made a ‘sad’ and disgruntled face when I asked something near the buffet table! MOREOVER, she put croissants on my plate with her hands!!! Then when I asked them to give me Nutella she made a disgruntled face and said that it finished, BUT I saw this chocolate bank on her table! Also, Forno should worry about the meals and, in this case, Nutella should be enough for each guest!! MOREOVER, we visited this place in the first part of the day (Aaron 10-11 A.M.) NO hazelnut (findik) paste! Before was! NO butter. Before was! NO Helva. Before was! But price is higher than was before!

I told about all things to the administrator and he brought the lemonade for us! That’s all! He thought that it’s enough for all these situations?!

I wasn’t there for several months, BUT I never come back in this place! And I never recommend this place to my friends!!!

For what I paid my money, Forno?! For...

The breakfast selection was exceptional, with a wide variety of delicious homemade jams to accompany one of the best croissants I may have ever had. The croissants themselves were light and flaky, and baked to perfection. The freshness of the ingredients and the attention to detail in their preparation was evident in every bite.

In addition to the delectable food, the coffee was simply perfect. The servers at Forno clearly take pride in their craft, creating a robust and flavorful cup of coffee that complemented the breakfast perfectly.

What truly set Forno apart, however, was the exceptional service. The staff was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable, providing helpful recommendations and ensuring that every customer's needs were met. The attention to detail and personal touch made for an unforgettable dining experience.

Overall, Forno is a fantastic restaurant that I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a memorable breakfast experience. With delicious food, excellent coffee, and exceptional service, Forno is definitely worth a visit. The weekend buffet style breakfast looks like a must try and I will definitely be going back...

Believe it or not........ this was the best Pizza I have had in all of Europe and the Americas... And I'm a new Yorker who spends my winters in southern Italy . I'm a pizza lover. But this is a different level. I know they call it pide... You would never think to eat it in Turkey but it was the best I ever had . The meat on the pizza was not processed. It was farm to table . This taste and the tenderness. Wow . I was in shock. They had one waiter who spoke in English and was very kind to me. I loved how homely it is there the kitchen is open and right there like if your eating at your grandmother's house at her kitchen table. But a big place split into two sides. The locals sent me here. No regrets except I wish I came back for the pasta...
