A turkish coffee in Istanbul

There is a Turkish proverb saying: "A cup of coffee is remembered for forty years." With flavor, foam, flavor, preparation and service, Turkish coffee is the unique Turk's coffee. It is black, rich, exotic and aromatic of delicious berries, a flavor that is very tasty. More than coffee, it is a heavenly syrup, a blended corn blend, which is the king of coffee in the world, and UNESCO recently added it to the list of intangible heritage items. Today in Istanbul 'modern' bars are limited that nostalgically bring all the atmosphere of Turkish coffee. It is an ancient tradition of consuming Turkish coffee.


Sometimes it was not only spent in the house, but also in many public cafés called khaneh (kafehane), which originally appeared in the Middle East. The popularity of the cafes was unmatched and people visited them for all sorts of activities. Without delay, they soon became such an important information exchange center that cafes often referred to as the "School of the Wise". In Istanbul there are some today. Fazil Beu Bar One of them is a bar –Fazil Beu, where it is rumored to be serving the best Turkish coffee in Istanbul. Roasted on the spot its aroma is irreplaceable. With old music in the background, wooden furniture and black and white photos on its walls, this bar has maintained intangible nostalgia since its opening in 1923.

Mandabatmaz BarBut if the excellence of Fazil Beu Caffe is difficult to achieve, another typical café in Istanbul, where Mandabatmaz Bar is the most important thing to give. The managers of this grass are the first in terms of the methodological side. They use old cezve specially made for this place by the craftsmen of Turkish handicrafts. No other coffee machine, no other sophisticated technology can produce so much foam and taste, Turkish coffee called Arcelik. This traditional bar is located in Istanbul's Beyoglu neighborhood.

Pierre Loti CaféAn extraordinary experience would be if you enjoy the coffee at Pierre Loti Café where you accompany one of the most beautiful sights of the city and from there you can also see the famous Galata bridge. It is in the heart of Istanbul, linking the two hips of the Golden Horn Breast. To the west of the bridge is the European continent and east Asia. Julien Viaud, a French marine officer who wrote novels under the pseudonym Pierre Loti, often visited this hill by writing about the city he loved. At the time of Loti, the coffee was simple with several benches and a stove for Turkish coffee. Today in this area there is also a 5-star hotel and a very frequented restaurant.Molla Aşki BarBut another stop where the iconic Istanbul view (unlike the Pierre Loti hills) is undisputed is Molla Aşki cafe. Apples Aşki is part of Molla Aşki Culture Park.
