Geziistanbul
FIND
Located in one corner of Taksim
Square. The chocolates displayed
temptingly in its window will
make it easy to find and draw
you in.
A stylish cafe and restaurant
with outside dining that looks
right out over Taksim Square, this
popular eatery has the bonus of
an in-house chocolaterie and
patisserie too. Traditional main-
course meals of meat and fish in
traditional sauces as well as vege-
tarian options can, therefore, be
followed by some truly delicious
pastries and chocolate, which you
can also take home with you. A
big plus is that Geziistanbul has a
good wine and coffee selection
too. If you thought you had
tasted the best cappuccino ever,
wait until you have tried this
restaurant's offering. Geziistanbul
is a hit with all the family, despite
the prices being a tad on the
expensive side.
