Settle in at Lokma for an Istanbul breakfast with the Bosphorus as backdrop. Work through a classic Turkish spread, tear into the simit and make the meal last.

Reviews
The food was average, but the portions were very small. The service was so bad that the waiter didn't even ask if we wanted anything extra. I noticed that they treat tourists differently than locals. The stars are only for the view.
