One of my favorite weekend activities in Istanbul
is having a full Turkish breakfast
along the Bosphorus.
During the week, I only make
time for a bowl of cereal or yogurt with fresh fruit. But this week on
Wednesday morning, I woke up at 6:30 and pushed my kind hosts, Nicole and
Kartal, to get up as well so we could have breakfast before they went to work
in Istanbul.
Kartal drove so we arrived
at the popular Kale Cafe at Rumelihisari shortly after
7. He took charge of the ordering. My only request was balkaymak that I later practically licked the bowl clean! I love
Turkish kaymak!
To me, a full Turkish
breakfast is one of the best breakfasts in the world! I love the sliced
tomatoes and cucumbers, olives, variety of cheeses, freshly baked breads,
copious amounts of çay and
perhaps some eggs and sucuk if
you are lucky.
This is just one of the many things I miss about Istanbul!

My breakfast choice on my first trip back as a visitor vs. a local was to Kale Cafe too! I love that place :)
ReplyDelete@Alyson, Kale Cafe is a great place! A few others that I like nearby as well. :-)
