Aşşk Café

Aşşk Café review

Once you get past that name - the Turkish word for 'love' drawn out into a lisping 'aşşk' - this place has a lot to recommend it. To find it, follow the unmarked staircase down to the Bosphorus from the Macrocenter in Kuruçeşme. The setting is gorgeous: a clubhouse beside the Bosphorus with a lovely garden. The lavish breakfasts and organic salads are deservedly renowned, but rather overpriced.
