A Hidden Gem in Istanbul!
I recently had the pleasure of visiting Rafine Moda during my trip to Istanbul from London, and I must say, it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I walked in, I was greeted with a warm and inviting atmosphere that set the tone for a delightful morning.
The bakery offerings are nothing short of exceptional. The pastries were fresh, flaky, and bursting with flavor. I highly recommend trying their signature croissants.
For breakfast, I indulged in a delicious spread that showcased the best of local ingredients and flavors. Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted as good as it looked. Paired with the lovely coffee, it made for a perfect start to my day.
What truly sets Rafine Moda apart is the owner, who is not only a talented chef but also a wonderful host. His passion for food and hospitality shines through in every aspect of the restaurant. He took the time to share the stories behind the dishes and made me feel like a cherished guest.
Overall, I cannot recommend Rafine Moda enough. Whether you're a local or a traveler like myself, this charming café is a must-visit. I can't wait to return on my next trip to Istanbul!
