Retroey, open-air place nestled at the top of Hattat Tahsin Sokak on the corner. Window boxes of fake daisies and vintage decor make it feel like an American diner. Dude who serves me could pass as a Turkish Richie Cunningham with his upturned big hair and blue eyes.
No surprises on the menu. But the kitchen is open and the guy at the helm looks like he knows what he's doing. I go for Menemen (scrambled eggs with peppers and tomato sauce). Everywhere seems to have their own interpretation in terms of how saucy or eggy, or bland or spicy they do it. This one was just right to my taste - quite spicy and big chunks of pepper. Some bal-kaymak, which is thick cream and honey, to top it off.
It was all really tasty. Prices very reasonable: 9 TL for the works including tea. And they've got wi-fi.
Recommended for a fair-weather, nearly-al fresco lunch served to you by the cast of Happy Days.
