Radika (Ergun)


Yiyecek
Lezzet –Türk tipi kahvaltı. Özellikle öne çıkan lezzetler çok az sayıda. Kırma yeşil zeytin, iz bırakanlardan.
Sunum – Sunum açısından herhangi bir özelliği yok. Tahmin ediyorumki, konsept gereği daha doğal ve sade bir sunum var. Yine aynı nedenden dolayı, aslında orta ve orta-üst sınıfa hitap eden bu mekanda sunumun zayıflığı göze batmıyor. Esasen, öğrencilerden ziyade çocuklu genç ailelere ve çalışan bekar sınıfa hitap ediyor.
Tazelik – Yiyecekler taze ve belirli bir kalitesi var, fakat üst düzey değil.
Çeşitlilik – Mekan zaten "serpme kahvaltı" sunduğu için, çeşitlilik arayanlar fazla beklenti ile hareket etmemeli. Ama bence sunulan çeşitler, serpme kahvaltı konseptine göre gayet yeterli düzeyde. Reçeller özgün.
Fiyat – 23 TL. Fiyat aslında, aldığınız yiyecekler için biraz fazla veya fazla olmanın tam sınırında.

Mekan
Konfor/Estetik – Kesinlikle kendinizi evinizde ya da egede küçük bir sahil kasabasında hissedebileceğiniz bir mekan. Müzikler, dekorasyon vb. Bu atmosferi yaratmak için bir araya getirilmiş. Samimi ve rahat bir ortam mevcut Masalar biraz küçük ama zaten öyle olmalı...
Hizmet – Aslında daha önceki Radika deneyimlerimde servis kalitesi ve yaklaşım oldukça iyiydi fakat bu "serpme kahvaltı" deneyimimde, servis biraz yavaştı. Bunu da garson sayısının yetersizliğine bağlıyorum.
Kitle – Orta ve Orta-Üst kitleye hitap eden bir mekan.
Ulaşım – Mekan Koşuyolu'nda, gayet merkezi bir yerde. Ulaşım oldukça kolay. Kendi aracınızla, taksiyle veya toplu taşıma ile kolayca gidilebilir.

Farklılık
- Lezzetlerin ve ortamın doğallığı

Velhasılı Kelam
(-) Az çeşitlilik

Café Cadde (Susan)

Café Cadde offers a breakfast buffet with classic Turkish items and a few special additions.


Food
Presentation – The presentation of the buffet is very nice; we especially appreciated the display of diverse breads, including brown breads and simits.
Taste – Great! I love the sunflowerseed simits, menemen, the wide variety of cold cuts and cheese on offer, and their curry chicken salad. They also have some nice desserts. However, I did not like their made-to-order omlettes, which I found to be dry, and one time we had some very bad fruit juice (it tasted like it had gone bad). Overall, I would say that the variety of items make up for any which are lacking in quality.
Freshness – As buffets go—where food is by definition sitting out for an extended period—freshness is adequately maintained.
Variety – They offer mozzarella and tomato salad and a curry chicken salad, which I have not seen at other locations, in addition to traditional Turkish items like Kisir (bulghur salad) and gozleme (Turkish cheese pancake).
Price – Appropriate for the items and "breakfast experience" on offer.



Milieu

Located on Bagdat Caddesi a few blocks from Marks and Spencer. One of the advantages of Café Cadde is that after breakfast you can walk outside and you are on Bagdat Caddesi, which is a nice area for walking and shopping and is just a short walk from the Marmara shore.
Physical place – Tables are large and comfortable, and it is a clean environment.
Aesthetic – Aesthetic is standard, calming wood and thick fabrics, and is characterized indistinctive muted colors.
Service – Variable; sometimes servers are very attentive with refilling tea glasses and clearing plates, however they often seem busy with too many tables, or uninterested in really serving you. Mabeyne's service is much superior!
Crowd – Trendy, rich , Cadde crowd, which can be somewhat annoying to observe….
Transportation – Very easy to reach by dolmus from the Asian side of Istanbul.


Uniqueness

- I would call Café Cadde a place for a good standard Turkish breakfast with a few unique items that make it a nice treat. It doesn't have the unique and delicious menu items of Mabeyne, but it provides a few treats that leave variety-seekers like me happy!

Pleasure/Price: 7/10

Bottomline: 8/10

Çakmak Kahvaltı Salonu (Susan)

Food

Presentation – If you care a great deal about presentation, this is not the place for you; if you care about taste, you will be pleased. Presentation is simple and unadorned, not bad, but not special either.
Taste – Cakmak Kahvalti offers a delicious standard Turkish breakfast. I had the best Kasarli menemen that I've every had! Bread, cheese and other ingredients are of the highest quality but there are no surprises here.
Freshness – Very fresh!
Variety – Don't come here for variety.
Price – Reasonable. If you don't want to shell out money for the all-you-can-eat buffets or restaurants on Bagdat Caddesi, you can still have a satisfying breakfast here.

Milieu

Located in a hole-in-the-wall type place in Besiktas, there is nothing special about this milieu, except that it is convenient to other places you may wish to go afterward.
Physical place – Physically it is clean, but there is a general lack of decoration and overly white walls, which are not special or interesting.
Aesthetic – Plain, uninteresting, and uninspired.
Service – Attentive, but nothing out of the ordinary.
Crowd – Mostly students.
Transportation – Easily reachable by foot from Besiktas.


Uniqueness

- Unfortunately finding a high quality Turkish breakfast is difficult, and we must therefore call Cakmak Kahvalti unique!
