This vibrant spot is a true gem for anyone looking to enjoy a classic Turkish breakfast with a view that’s hard to beat. Nestled along the Bosphorus, it offers sweeping sights of the river, the iconic bridge, and the lively promenade—perfect for people-watching as you sip your tea. The breakfast spread is generous and varied, featuring top-quality produce that’s fresh and flavorful. From cheeses and olives to warm breads and jams, every bite feels thoughtfully prepared. Service is quick and friendly, keeping the experience smooth and relaxed. Given its popularity and prime location, reservations are highly recommended—especially if you want a table with a view.

We had our breakfast at the Lokma Restaurant and really enjoyed the experience. The staff were polite and attentive, and the restaurant offered a beautiful view with a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for having a nice chat with my guests without any noise. The menu items were a bit on the pricey side, but the quality and cleanliness made up for it. The restrooms were exceptionally clean and well maintained. Overall, I’d definitely recommend this restaurant!

We had the most amazing traditional Turkish breakfast — everything was so fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented! The variety was incredible: cheeses, olives, eggs, simit, honey, and of course lots of Turkish tea A big thank you to Arda, who took such great care of us. super friendly, helpful, and made the experience even better. Definitely recommend this place if you want to start your day the Turkish way!

Lokma has a nice atmosphere and decent food, but it’s not quite the traditional Turkish breakfast experience I expected. The set menu isn’t really a full set — you need to order most items separately, which makes it less convenient and a bit pricey overall. The food quality is average, and while it’s not bad, there are definitely other places around that offer a better Turkish breakfast for a more reasonable price

Let’s be honest here: you are paying for the view. It feels incredible to witness boats gliding the Bosporus under the bridge while seeping your mocktail. We ate pizza, falafel and mukhamara, also polished it with some lemon sorbet - everything was tasteful and fresh! Service was attentive.

Our visit to Lokma was excellent from start to finish! We went for breakfast, and everything—from the view to the food—was simply perfect. A special mention goes to Eren, who welcomed us warmly at the entrance. He spoke professional English, which made communication so much easier and set a positive tone for the whole experience. The breakfast was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented. The variety was impressive, and every dish had great flavor. The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting, making it a perfect spot to start the day. Thanks to Eren’s hospitality and the quality of both food and service, Lokma easily deserves 5 stars. Highly recommended!

I've tried breakfast at several Turkish restaurants, but this is truly the best. The breakfast is delicious and appetizing, the portions are generous, the view is beautiful, the price is reasonable, the service is good, and the staff are friendly.

The food experience was great! The price was good in comparison to quality. The view was amazing and our servant thanks to her moved us to a view table beside the window when we asked her.She was really great and helpful . My only problem was the parking. Since you either have to leave the car to the valet or park far and walk to the restaurant.
