There aren't as many traditional teahouses in Beyoğlu as on the Historic Peninsula, so this cluster of çay bahçesis (tea gardens) in a picturesque cobbled courtyard is beloved of locals, who head here to relax over tea, coffee and nargilehs (₺30 to ₺55). To access the courtyard from İstiklal Caddesi, head through the narrow passage full of tacky jewellery stands.
