The place is better than the zoo. There are rooms where the animals can move freely around you. Definitely recommend. Also, no one checked our tickets when we came in from the cafe because we were there first.

Great place at the heart of the palace. Definitely make a reservation in advance because you get there and have a very beautifully prepared table. We were there for breakfast. I had the porridge and the yogurt with fruits and they were both delicious. I also had the fruit tea and I liked it. I tried the croissant and it was fresh, warm, and tasty. The service was a bit slow and that is why, they gave us the croissant for free. Overall, a great experience.

The restaurant has great location and a nice view. We didn’t have lunch at the terrace but at the tables on the square. The waiter that invited us in was a bit rude. He mentioned that there is a service charge of 12,5%. I didn’t hear him correctly, so I asked him to repeat. He became a bit agitated and started defending their service charge and comparing it to other restaurant’s.
We got our food relatively fast. I ordered the grilled fish with zucchini and pasta. The dish was very greasy and tasteless.

Beautiful but not very big place. Has a few overpriced shops but very nice atmosphere that makes you feel like you are in a fantasy movie.

The place was nice with a great view. We ordered one gözleme with cheese and one with meat. It was not quite traditional but it was still delicious. We also tried the coffee with pistachio and it was pretty delicious. The service is a bit weird - they write your order on a piece of paper and then, shout your name when the food and drinks are ready. It was fast though.
