Shoppers on the Old Town’s most commercialised street tend to double-take when they spot this venerable Turkish-styled cafe, with its pebble-mosaic floor, carved wooden panels, laid-back atmosphere and hookah-smoking clientele reclining on cushions. Expect a hearty welcome if you drop in for coffee or cocktails, iced tea or ice cream, juice or beer; apart from desserts, though, there’s no food.
