Journey

Beyoğlu


This laid-back lounge cafe located in the expat enclave of Cihangir offers a menu of Mediterranean comfort foods including sandwiches, soups and pastas. Many of the dishes use organic produce, and vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options are on offer. Locals have been known to claim the front couch for breakfast and stay put until closing time.
