Yeşil Mavi Cafe offers you the best views of Bosphorus in Üsküdar, especially during the sunset as you can see reflections of the sun on the sea, turning the color of blue into shades of red and yellow. This cafe is located in Fethipaşa Korusu. Its outdoor tables are mostly under trees and provide you with the shade you need on a hot sunny day. Yeşil Mavi Cafe is a cozy place with no elegance at all. As it is a cafe in nature, beware that you might be accompanied by ants, little spiders etc.
They have a menu with lots of pages with options varying from traditional Turkish breakfast to main dishes, desserts and hot/cold beverages. The items on the menu are not as special as its view. I usually prefer to drink just a cold beverage and enjoy the view. If I am hungry, my choice is their tasty and fresh gözleme, a type of flatbread with various fillings such as potatoes, cheese and minced meat. While eating, watch out for the seagulls. One day while we were sitting indoors, a seagull outside the window was checking out each table, stopped at ours as it realized we are eating gözleme, started knocking at the window with its beak, did not stop and asked for more until our plates are empty.
Yeşil Mavi Cafe has a playground for the children. When it is crowded on the weekends, the service is slow.
