Swerve off Uzun Çarşı Caddesi into the Fidanhan, built by Sultan Mehmet I's Grand Vizier Mahmut Paşa. This tree-shaded han (caravanserai) is a tranquil respite from the hustle outside. At the far wall you'll find this cafe, which serves up the delicious and completely addictive Bursa speciality of dondurmalı irmik halvası (ice cream with warm semolina halva).
