Another great casual café on this street is Journey (Akarsu Caddesi No. 21/A, Cihangir), a two-storey establishment with a communal table on the second floor providing a friendly, buzzing atmosphere.
Again, the menu, like many things in
the neighbourhood, is Turkish-inspired but with a strong European twist.
The
roasted lamb shank, for example, is cooked in honey and served with mashed
potato. The lamb pie is cooked in borek (traditional Turkish pastry)
pastry with dill and peas inside.
There are some interesting salads on offer as
well, such as the celery and buckwheat (hard to find in Istanbul) salad served
with coriander and spinach.
All the meals are prepared with love.
