Emırgan Sutış

Sultanahmet


This branch of the popular local chain is a great place to enjoy the Sutış signature dish – bal kamak (honey and clotted cream), which is wonderful slathered on simit (sesame-encrusted bread ring). Enjoy it with a tea, coffee or fresh fruit juice. Prices are reasonable considering the location, and the garden seating is delightful in fine weather.
