We had a leisurely breakfast at this hotel/restaurant on a day trip to the lovely island of Büyükada in the Sea of Marmara, a pleasant one-hour ferry ride from Istanbul. The meal was delicious, the service was friendly and professional, and the view out to sea was spectacular. Especially good was the emininem, a mix of tomatoes, mild red peppers and scrambled eggs - a typical Turkish dish. Don’t miss this place!

This perfectly situated restaurant called to me from the street, as the music was so mellow and provided the perfect accompaniment to the view and general ambience created by the charming owners. I enjoyed a glass of excellent house white wine, walked for an hour looking at the wonderful old houses that line the road, and returned for lunch. I had the recommended vine leaf wrapped rice and cherries, and a tomatoe and walnut dish, both of which were divine. Sea bass en papillote followed with more of the house white. This place is magic and I would make the journey again just to enjoy lunch again, in company next time

Stayed here for one night, on a B &B basis, our first room overlooked the sea, we had to move rooms because the Air Con was not fit for purpose, the second room was just as bad and it was like an oven, the small fridge in the room again was not fit for purpose and the water would would have been colder it had been left in the matchbox bathroom. The breakfast was poor to say the least, no fruit juices etc just a very very plain Turkish breakfast, then we had to chase the waiter down for a top up of Cay. Certainly not worth the money we paid for it… it certainly wasn’t cheap.
