Zeyrekhane

Located in the center of historic Zeyrek district, this restaurant has a very nice view of the Golden Horn and Suleymaniye Mosque. The place is like a museum featuring Ottoman times.
It is an upscale place, with all very Turkish food options. The food is good but the view is magnificent, definitely must have a seating outside and enjoy the view with Turkish coffee and friends.

See the website (http://zeyrekhane.com/site/). Although it's in Turkish, the menu is both in English and Turkish.

Malta Mansion (Malta Kosku)

This is a very nicely reserved mansion, where you can have a beautiful brunch in the middle of forest looking down onto the Bosphorus. Can't believe we've never been there before.

It is a must go place to have breakfast, or brunch. The breakfast includes everything you might be looking for, and the price just worths it. And going there with old friends to catch up was priceless :)

There are other breakfast places to see, next in line Yellow Mansion (Sari Kosk).
