A Bit of Eggo Istanbul
Because breakfast matters
Arzu from Istanbul
Egg: the hero of quick, easy, tasty and healthy breakfasts. It helps with weight loss and is also a great source of protein, besides being relatively inexpensive. A Bit of Eggo in Arnavutköy takes this issue way too seriously and also carries it a step farther.
Arnavutköy is one of the most picturesque and historical neighborhoods in Istanbul. My favorite walking route is along the Bosphorus coast, from Bebek to Arnavutköy, and A Bit of Eggo is my final destination for a high protein breakfast.
The breakfast menu includes a plenty of egg varieties including eggs Benedict, omelettes, the local specialty menemen, eggo toast etc... They use only organic eggs. It's obvious that all the coffee varieties in the menu are prepared from good quality coffee.
For lunch hour, they offer a rich lunch menu, apart from egg dishes. Burgers, salads, meatball, mac’n’cheese, salmon and so on.
The place has probably the cutest outdoor seating area in a tiny garden surrounded with green plants, but for rainy and cold İstanbul days, inside is also a good option thanks to the plain and elegant interior design.

Lil Bake
Lovely spot for a sweet snack
Lil Bake is a small, lovely spot in the heart of Moda, Istanbul. My favorite used to be the pistachio Paris breast, until I tasted their croissants...

Banyan
High-end Asian fusion in Ortakoy
"Banyan" is my bar/restaurant of choice in Istanbul's Ortaköy for a drink or dinner after work. In their terrace you'll feel as if you're on a ship's deck.

"Vogue Restaurant Bar" is one of Istanbul's higher end spots. The food is great, but I would recommend the signature (molecular) cocktails. How about...

A gorgeous gift
"The Letter Opener" is one of the best souvenirs to get for friends back home when you're in Istanbul and I recommend you get them from Grand Bazaar.

Turkish Tea
Enjoy a glass of tea
Turkish Tea is had after each meal, and it's a reflection of hospitality. When in Istanbul, have it at small local tea houses in Sultanahmet.
