Forno Balat, İstanbul 'un En İyi Kahvaltı, Lahmacun ve Pizza & Pide Mekanları, Sizinle!

Such a beautiful discovery in Balat! ✨ The atmosphere is warm and cozy, with a very familiar vibe that makes you feel right at home. The hostess was extremely kind and helpful, even suggesting the best food combinations for the perfect experience. Everything is prepared fresh on the spot, super tasty and full of flavor. Locally centered and authentic, it really feels special. Definitely don’t miss the apricot soufflé, it was amazing! Everyone here is so welcoming, and I’d absolutely come back again.

During our guided tour of Fatih, Fener, and Balat, we stopped at Forno Balat for lunch, and it was an excellent choice! The service was warm and welcoming, making us feel right at home. The food was absolutely delicious—highly recommended if you're in the area. Their homemade lemonade is simply outstanding—refreshing and full of flavour! The flat pizza was perfectly balanced, light yet incredibly tasty. But the real star was their unique apricot soufflé—just wow! A must-try dessert. We ended our meal with traditional Turkish tea and coffee, the perfect way to wrap up a fantastic dining experience. Definitely a place worth visiting!

Stopped at this family owned restaurant in Balat and ordered a Lahmacun. It’s like a crispy ‘pizza base’ with a spicy mince topping, and is served with fresh lemon wedges which you squeeze over the topping before rolling it to eat. It was incredible! Made in a traditional wood burn oven, this was most definitely the best Lahmacun I had tasted in Istanbul. Definitely give this place a try.

It was one of the best experiences!!! We went there to have a Turkish kahvaltı, and we liked it a lot. There is an open buffet and you can have as much as you want, for a good price!! And they have lovely and very tasty food!!! I definitely suggest you to try everything, and especially pişi with tahini or honey or Nutella. Or try menemen with salad and ball cheese. And of course börek!! Everything was amazing!!! Thank you so much for that experience ❤️

Serpme kahvaltı for 2 people 1250 tl. It was Very delicious except egg 🥹

Based on a recommendation, we visited Forno and were seated at the large table in the center of the restaurant. The atmosphere was cozy, and the breakfast was delicious. Our group consisted of six adults and one child. We ordered two spread breakfasts and meatloaf (lahmacun), and they generously kept refilling our tea. The service was excellent, and the experience felt like being part of a movie scene. Highly recommended!

We had a breakfeast with my family at sunday. Small and cute decorations. Backyard and inside limited seat. Smile face service, cute atmosphere and fresh foods. It is nice place to take break witj friends. We like it ❤️

We went there for the Breakfast Buffet and absolutely loved it! The food was unbelievably tasty and fresh. The Menemen was amazing! The athmosphere is friendly and cosy - you can feel that it’s a feminist and woman owned place, which is very much needed after spending some time in central Istanbul. Would highly recommend!

Clean beautiful restaurant with fresh baked breads and delicious homemake lemonade. We are a pide with cheese and tomato (custom ordered), a vegetarian pizza, a arugula salad, and the customary ayran and lemonade. And, if you come, get the kayisili özel sufle for dessert - apricot soufflé that is amazing to die for!!
