Yiğit Sofram Gözleme ve Kahvaltı

Excellent spot for a hearty breakfast! I went a little later in the morning close to 11:30am so I think the morning breakfast crowd had already come and gone. It was nice to basically have the restaurant all to myself. They have an expensive breakfast menu so its not a easy decision to make in terms of what to eat 😅 Decided to go with the kashar cheese menemen and was not disappointed. Every breakfast option comes with an assortment of sides including olives, cheese, 2 types of bread, jam, tomatoes/cucumbers and turkish tea! At the recommendation of the server I also got an extra side of butter with honey that's traditionally eaten with the homemade bread. Although it was already wayyy more than enough food I also had to sample the potato and cheese gozelme because it just looked too good to miss. When the spread made its way to my table it did not disappoint. Everything was so fresh and so flavourful that I absolutely could not stop indulging! The menemen was outstanding and paired so well with all the accompaniments, the gozelme was delectable! I had such a feast that I basically didn't need to eat at all for the rest of the day! All of that deliciousness washed down with some Turkish tea and freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. Can't recommend this place enough for an incredible Turkish style breakfast!

This was hands down the best breakfast I had in Istanbul. Their breakfast spread for two is truly out of this world and an absolute must-try when visiting the city. The variety and quality are exceptional—from the fresh olives and rich cheeses to a delicious dish featuring fried halloumi and sujuk. The standout, however, is the Yiğit-style eggs. Simple, lightly seasoned, and incredibly flavorful, it quickly became one of my favorite dishes in Istanbul. They also serve a round, homemade bread fresh from the oven that pairs perfectly with everything on the table. The cream and honey are a classic combination that never disappoints, and the butter with rose jam was so good that I ended up buying a jar to take home. I could go on and on about how amazing this place is, but simply put: it’s a must-visit in Istanbul. Highly recommend. The staff were friendly and made the experience even better.

Excellent breakfast, traditional, hearty, filling, great value and incredibly friendly. The coffee was that good I had 2 cappuccinos. They brought out so much food we didn't have lunch were so full from breakfast. This place gets busy and now we know why, just great food. We enjoyed it so much we went 2 days in a row.

Delicious Turkish breakfast experience with great variety of dishes (we did not manage to finish). Great quite spot especially compare to busy turístic áreas. Additional plus - unlimited tea included. price for 2 is like the offer for one near Galata or Aya Sofia. Recommended to visit. My personal favorite natural honey with cream.

I love kahvalti and I love these guys. I believe their style of eggs are called Sahanda Yumurta, all served in those iconic Turkish pans. OMG, the homemade biscuit bread was delish. I came here twice because it was that good. I ordered the sucuklu (Turkish sausage) and then Yiğit special, which had boiled eggs the next visit. I recommend both. I love the accompaniments with breakfast. If you want to try it for the first time or maybe not first time, they have homemade aryan. Service is great, everyone is nice. I spoke a little bit of Turkish, but English works just fine. They take credit card too. I will be back for my next visit to Istanbul. Oh! If they like you, they hook it up with some Turkish delights. 😍

Lovely little spot for standard Turkish breakfast fare. Popular among tourists and locals. Decent price and friendly staff, straightforward and honest. I had a nice breakfast here on a rainy morning. Get the fresh doughnuts and ask for a side of white cheese and marmalade to add while it is still hot. Absolutely delicious!

Ok breakfast good for the area, but i didnt like they give you inly 1 piece if warm bread and the rest is white bread. Menemen also not the best. Its not bad but also not going to be your best breakfast in istambul. Tomato pastes and sesame paste were amazing good. Price is reasonable.

We enjoyed a wonderful Turkish breakfast here with our family. Everything was fresh, generous, and absolutely delicious. Special homemade bread and special egg reciepe. A special thank you to Yasmin for hosting us so warmly, and to Hasan and Furat for their excellent service and help throughout. It was a truly lovely experience. We felt right at home but pampered 😀.

Great Turkish breakfast! 8 of us in our group and everyone enjoyed it tremendously. Service was also excellent.

This was the most life changing breakfast I've ever had in my life. Menemen is legit life changing and I'd eat it everyday if I had access to it. This adorable little joint is sheer perfection, we did two Michelins while we were in Istanbul and I still think about this place and remember it more than my Michelin experiences. It's so simple yet so unique and perfect at the same time. The breakfast spread is one of the most memorable I've ever had, though simple and straight forward, the Turks truly know how to do an incredible breakfast that's better than the rest of the world. If you're in Istanbul, come to this place, the walk up to the joint is lovely, you get to see such a special little part of Istanbul and the food experience is something you'll remember for a lifetime. The service is top notch and the ambiance is adorable, facing the cute little street outside. The meal starts with tea and the spread is truly incredible. DO NOT MISS THIS PLACE!!

We absolutely loved it here and felt welcomed. Waitress spoke English and we enjoyed the wide variety of Turkish breakfast delights. We thought it was really cool that they had a map with pins from travelers from all over the world!

My mom and I wanted to get a nice Turkish breakfast during our last day in Istanbul. This place was highly rated on Google and it was around an area we had already been to and really loved! As usual, getting here by foot required a strenuous walk up a steep hill and a giant set of stairs. However, a cute little cat decided to keep us company, and it made it all so magical and special. We arrived around 1pm and the place was not too full on a Tuesday. We were able to get a table for two right away inside. The waiter was very nice and brought us menus and some water. We already knew what we wanted so we ended up ordering the famous Turkish breakfast which was amazing! I was truly mind blown at how generous the portion was. With the breakfast we tried: - Breads: the breakfast comes with generous amounts of bread. You get both a regular white bread that is deliciously fluffy and has a nice crust, as well as a decadent leavened round bread called bazlama. This was the house special bread baked fresh every day and it was delicious. There was a small extra charge for additional bazlama but can confirm it was well worth it. The bread was soft, warm, and had a fantastic flavor. 11/10. Both paired well with all the items in the breakfast. - Yigit Special Eggs: the breakfast also came with these eggs which were hard boiled but then broken up and cooked in this delicious sauce of butter and spices. The flavor was out of this world, with a little bit is smokiness and heat from the spices balanced out by the sweet creaminess of the browned butter. I loved the texture of having hard boiled eggs since you got a nice mix of the chewy egg white portions as well as the silky yolks. Amazing. I want to copy this recipe at home. - Halloumi and Sujuk: they brought out a sizzling pan with 4 pieces of deliciously spiced sujuk and grilled halloumi together. This is a heavenly combination. The chewy and salty halloumi went very well with the sausage. The butter also gets this super good flavor and we ate some of it with the bread on the side. 11/10. - cheeses: all the cheeses in this spread were amazing! They came in generous portions. The feta was so creamy and went very well with the fresh cucumbers and tomatoes they gave us with the breakfast. The herbed cheese was also amazing. My favorite was the Cecil cheese which came in little strings and was super mild. It went very well with both savory and sweet spreads alike. - savory spreads: for savory dips we got a variety of olives that were all really good, a tomato dip that had a deep flavor of sundried tomatoes and was mildly spicy, as well as a tangier fresh tomato dip that felt a little lighter and more citrusy/ bright. All very good! The fresh butter was also amazing and tasted incredibly creamy. - sweet spreads: my favorite part! The breakfast came with a variety of sweet spreads including different homemade jams (orange and cherry) that went very well with the bread and butter as well as the cheeses. It also came with these decadent tahini molasses with a little grape that had just the perfect balance of nuttiness and sweetness. The kaymak (clotted cream) was so decadent as well, it had a creamy sweetness that went so well with the silky, deep flavor of the honey. Amazing! On top of everything, the breakfast came with tea included which was very warm and comforting. It was a lot of food and we left practically full for the rest of the day. The quality of all the ingredients was top notch. I would highly recommend this place to anyone in Istanbul. The area around here is also super quaint and cute, perfect for a leisurely stroll to digest the delicious meal. Pretty close as well to Taksim Square and the top of Istiklal street in case you want to do some exploring after breakfast. One of the best breakfasts we had while in Turkey and in an area that feels more quiet/ less touristy! Will be coming back whenever I return to Istanbul.

Before I even get into the food, I must commend this restaurant for having women waitstaff. During my entire trip to Istanbul, I have only seen men working in restaurants, so have been wondering which restaurants actually employ women. I hope the women enjoy working here. They provided excellent service. This restaurant is a cute neighborhood breakfast joint. They serve Turkish breakfast staples like menemen (scrambled eggs in tomato sauce), sucuk (Turkish sausage), and gozleme (Turkish baked dough). The full breakfast comes with feta cheese, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, berry jam, and tea. Most items are how you would expect them to taste, i.e. no wow factor, but it's still worthwhile to try an authentic Turkish breakfast once. You *must* get the honey with clotted cream -- it is so good that I could just eat that straight up.

The perfect breakfast with so many options. Has to be your first stop when in Istanbul. If you're not close, worth taking a taksi and then explore the place by foot as it's hilly. The service from the staff was excellent and nice.

Great food and service. Pleasant experience on a quiet Istanbul side street. Really recommend the homemade jams

One of the best traditional Turkish breakfast spots ever!!! Genuinely such delicious food. The spread is incredible :) the staff is so kind and attentive and it's such a sweet and cozy restaurant. We sat outside and it was perfect

Delicious and good value breakfast food. Took a trek up tons of stairs to get here from the Bosphorous, but it was well worth it. Everything we ordered was delicious. Appreciate that all the meals come with Cay and you leave feeling very satisfied. Definitely check it out!

The best breakfast I've had in my life! Incredible food and service, and the cutest location. There wasn't one thing I didn't like about my experience here. Come here for a proper Turkish breakfast!

Best breakfast ever! Make sure to come when visiting Istanbul. The vibes here are amazing and everyone is so kind and helpful.

I had an amazing breakfast in this restaurant. I had the mini menu for one person, eggs with turkish sausages, comes with cherry & white cheese, salad and bread. I also ordered the honey and cream as an extra and everything was super delicious! Will definitely go again.

Hard-boiled eggs in a pan - 3 stars Not very flavourful and doused in oil. Omelette with sausage - 3 stars Decent, not outstanding. Olives and cheese - 3.5 stars Pretty standard. Bal and kaymak (honey and clotted cream) - 3.75 stars Good! Not our favourite place. It's pretty standard fare. I'd recommend Cafe Privato or Kahve 6 over this, although those are slightly more expensive.

Small charming little place. Very good food. Loved the Menemen and butter and honey. Might get busy since the seating is limited. Better be there when they open. The owner was very friendly too. Thanks. Will come again on my next visits.

Very nice place and very good food I loved their food and service and the gozleme is so yummy definitely I would recommend this place and this is my new favorite place

This was the best breakfast we had on our trip to Istanbul. It felt really special and it was a lot cheaper than other places with similar menus. It is a lovely setting! Quaint little room with cute decor. The breakfast spread made us gasp with excitement! Everything tasted delicious, especially the menemen with sausage and cream cheese. We had this, another menemen and the Turkish breakfast for 2 between 3 of us and we ate until our hearts were content! We almost ordered more but the lovely woman who worked there told us our order was already enough. The staff were so nice. My sister cut her foot on the road earlier in the morning and they made sure she was ok and supplied her with plasters for then and later!
