Waiters air-kiss the cosmopolitan diners, who cross the room to greet their neighbours.

Smyrna and newcomer Journey are two of the more popular at any time of day. 

Continue straight from Firuz Ağa Mosque and you come out on Boğazkesen Caddesi, above the old Ottoman cannon foundry which gives the district of Tophane its name.

Istanbul Modern is on the Bosphorus shore, across the main road and tram line.

Start in Taksim, easily reached by metro and the funicular from Kabataş, or by taxi to the Cihangir mosque.

From İstiklâl Caddesi, thread your way through the narrow lanes behind Galatasaray Lycée.
