Petek Pastanesi

Eastern Mediterranean


Stylish Petek has been serving very fine künefe (layers of kadayıf cemented together with sweet cheese, doused in syrup and served hot with a sprinkling of pistachio) since 1942; pair with espresso to offset the exceptional sweetness. Find it one block inland from Atatürk Bulvarı and three blocks west from Şehir Pamir Caddesi, to the right when facing inland.
