Mösyö Lukas's profiteroles are known throughout the city and for cause: it is here that this wonder would have been invented at the beginning of the century. Profiterole was then introduced into France and Italy by the Levantins. In France, we simply added the ice. The place, small, is still crowded.

Classic pastry that offers a variety of different products ranging from baklavas to homemade cakes and profiteroles. Fruit tartlets (tartölet) and cream are delicious.

You can also taste what is very popular right now in Istanbul: colorful cakes imitating objects, cartoon heroes or toys (sometimes Vuitton handbag). It's kind of kitschy, but the kids love it.

This brand, renowned for its dairy products, has been in existence since 1936. The place doesn't look like much: five tables with a few stools and one or two tables outside. But don't hold it against them because kaymak (buffalo milk cream) and butter are exceptional. The jams are homemade, you can taste all kinds of omelettes and the classics of Turkish kahvaltı Some desserts are offered throughout the day, accompanied of course by kaymak. The prices are quite high but the products are of high quality.

In the new Bobo district of Karaköy, this address combines Turkish cuisine and modern cuisine. Away from the sun, sheltered from the sun by a wall of vegetation, a relaxing atmosphere, you can eat a salad or drink a turca coffee... a moment out of time! At Pim, salads are generous and excellent, as are köfte or falafel, always in elegance and originality. The only downside is that the music is sometimes very loud inside. Try the terrace, which is much more charming on sunny days.

Opened for over 30 years, this cozy bistro-style café-restaurant is an ideal place for a breakfast, a snack or a quick lunch. Special coffee is very good, but the gastronomic part is not really exceptional. Also for pastries, stay classic. The main interest of the site: its rooftop terrace with stunning views of the Golden Horn, Sultanahmet district, small square Tünel and Galata Tower. After that, it is almost no longer necessary to climb the Galata tower.

Polo Pastanesi is both a pastry shop and a restaurant. It is therefore suitable for both sweet and salty cravings. The facility is spread over three floors. The cakes and sweets are displayed in the shop window as soon as you enter. The more substantial dishes are à la carte. The cuisine is fine and tasty. For the dishes, we recommend the Roquefort steak and salmon salad. And for dessert, or as a snack, opt for a chocolate cream or a sütlaç (rice pudding). The pastries in the shape of animals will make the children happy.
