A cosy cafe with a nice garden

Ladies & Gentleman,

In my last post I gave some information about a nice shopping street in Kadıköy. While I was explaining the details in that street I also mentioned about a cultural center. Now, I am going to share my experiences in this nice café. “Nazım Hikmet Kültür Merkezi” is one of the “secret” places in Kadıköy. While I was wandering in the shopping street, I realized that there is a huge door at my left side.  

When I entered in, I realized a huge building on my left side and a garden, covered with tall trees, was standing on my right side. Many tables are placed in the garden for entertaining yourself in a warm and silent area. In addition to this, if you continue walking through the garden, a winter garden is waiting you for bad weathers in winter. Fortunately the winter garden is covered with glass doors and servers open them during summer. While people are chatting or meeting with their friends, they may drink coffee or tea and they can also eat aperitifs or main dishes. Turkish cuisine mostly consist foods that are prepared from fresh ingredients. Moreover, most foods are cooked in a sauce. The daily menu is written on a white board at the entrance of the building. I preferred having an “Ayvalık tost.” This is a toasted bread which contains sausage, French fries, salami, ketchup and mayonnaise. That was delicious…


Have a nice day
