"Leaf.co's almond tart stands out as my favourite! Pair it with delightful coffee or iced tea, and don't forget to grab some beautiful flowers or plants!"

Leaf.co is a charming café and flower shop located in Suadiye, offering both delicious treats and a plants haven in a pleasant and bright atmosphere. Their desserts look not only beautiful in the display but also taste amazing, with the almond tart standing out as a personal favourite. The coffee and homemade iced teas are also delightful.

Many people visit for brunch, though I haven’t tried it yet. Inside, you’ll find a variety of fresh flowers and plants which you can buy, and they can also create stunning bouquets with incredibly lifelike artificial flowers.

The only downside is that the tables are a bit cramped and it gets quite crowded on weekends. But with such delicious offerings, the crowd is understandable.

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.

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.
