Authentic Turkish Restaurant in Istanbul with Excellent Vegetarian Options - Edit
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Read moreUpdate: We’re back in Istanbul, and what a wonderful surprise! Sanat Turkish House has become even better since our last visit and is now a lovely spot for dinner in Cihangir, Istanbul. The menu now includes kebab options, including Mom’s Köfte Kebab, alongside plenty of vegetarian dishes available at dinner time. The grilled halloumi and Mom’s wheat rice are amazing, and the selection of hot and cold mezes makes it easy to enjoy a varied vegetarian meal too. The same warm hospitality we loved at breakfast carries through to the evening.
Our original review:
After reading the reviews on Google Maps, we decided to visit Sanat cafe, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip to Istanbul. The breakfast was excellent, with a great variety of vegetarian-friendly options, including fresh cheeses, olives, homemade jams, vegetables, and traditional Turkish specialties. Everything tasted fresh and homemade.
The owner was incredibly welcoming and took the time to explain the different dishes and Turkish breakfast culture. The atmosphere was warm, relaxing, and authentic, making us feel more like guests than customers.
If you're looking for a genuine Turkish breakfast experience away from the usual tourist crowds, Sanat Cafe is definitely worth a visit. We would happily return on our next trip to Istanbul. (And we just did! 😊) 🌿☕🇹🇷

Don't Get Fooled by the Place Downstairs! - Edit
Well ... My friend and I struggled to fınd Sanat Cafe Breakfast House.
Read moreHowever We're so glad we found it. — but fair warning, finding it took a minute! There's another breakfast spot right downstairs that will practically pull you in with tea before you even get your bearings. Don't fall for it — SANAT CAFE BREAKFAST HOUSE is upstairs, entrance across from Akbank, and it's absolutely worth the extra steps.
Once we found it, breakfast was great — fresh, flavorful, and reasonably priced. Just keep your eyes open for the right staircase!
Cons: Hıdden Entrance

Hidden Upstairs Gem for Breakfast - Edit
Had breakfast here and everything was fantastic! Amazing variety of dishes, all fresh and full of flavor, and the prices are very reasonable for what you get. It's not a fully vegetarian place, but we went as a group of two with different preferences and everyone left happy.
Read moreOne tip: the restaurant is upstairs only, with the entrance located right across from Akbank — easy to miss if you're not looking for it, but well worth finding! Don't be fooled by another breakfast place downstairs — they'll try to pull you in with tea before you even say hello.
Pros: Roasted veggies, Tea Pot, Amazıng Staff

Everything is amazing. We have ordered Turkish serpme breakfast and fully vegetarian, ( you swap your eggs with pastry) we paid 2 people 2100 with fresh juices and enjoyed the company of an amazingly interesting owner. I recommend to fellow users.
