Full description
Balkon Cafe & Kahvalt\u0131 sits on one of Istanbul's most touristic streets yet earns praise for not pulling in passers-by, with diners choosing it on their own. It opens at 7:00 AM and serves breakfast, coffee and lunch until early evening.
Reviewers highlight welcoming, caring service and prompt delivery, while opinions on the food range from very good to simply fine; one found the menemen merely average and the room smoky. A 4.6 rating across around 900 reviews suggests a dependable choice for an unhurried breakfast, either solo or as a couple.
