Cabaret

Eastern Mediterranean


This local student hang-out with brick walls and shuttered windows is an atmospheric spot for a tea, coffee or something stronger. There's occasional live music, cheap snacks aplenty, and tucked around the back is an even cosier private courtyard. A happening place. Sandwiches (₺7.5 to ₺15), döners (₺9 to ₺16) and burgers (₺10 to ₺15) available, too.
