Small outside big inside: Yasemin and Tuncel’s
posted by girlcoolhunting
Small is the new big…a definition well appropriate for my new find in town. Yasemin and Tuncel’s roastery and ice-cream shop. This little shop is tucked away in Gokturk, Istanbul’s posh suburb. Owned by a cute couple and designed by Monocle design team (yes, yes, yes!) this little shop offers you a good range of coffee and […]
Champagne Brunch in Istanbul: Konsolos

I am often asked where to questions when it comes to Istanbul. And one of the key topics is always about breakfast…I have my usual suspects like Assk Kahve and Lucca but time to time I enjoy spicing it up and discovering new venues.

Cantinery Istanbul
posted by girlcoolhunting
Istanbul’s new eatery Cantinery didn’t impress me much. Being one and only sibling of infamous Lucca my expectations were high on food.

Istanbul bites: Fenix

The decor is colonial,chic, airy and with a style far from the look same- feel same type of minimalist, Nordics inspired restaurants. And the terrace…ohhh it is good,it is like a fresh […]
