Breakfast lovers rejoice! You’ve arrived in Istanbul, a city that is world-renowned for amazing food. You’re looking forward to starting off your morning with a delicious breakfast, before heading off for a full day’s sightseeing of this incredibly historical city.
But there’s a catch - you’re vegan and all you’ve actually heard about Turkish cuisine is that there is a wide variety of kebabs. Is it time to panic? Are you going to start the day hangry? Will you spend your whole holiday hungry? Should you have packed those lentils?
The answer to all these questions is a big fat NO.
Turkish cuisine is actually surprisingly vegan friendly (a lot of ‘vegetarian’ Turkish food is actually vegan), with Turkish breakfast taking the top spot in terms of the variety and choice of dishes that vegans can try.
Istanbul also has a burgeoning vegan scene, with a number of 100% vegan restaurants opening up whilst most other places are more than happy to veganise some of their dishes or have several purely vegan options on their menus.
All of this means that as a vegan in Istanbul, you shouldn’t hesitate to start the day in the right way: with a traditional Turkish breakfast.
In this guide, I will tell you all about Turkish breakfast and where to find the best vegan Turkish breakfast in Istanbul plus lots more information to ensure you can indulge in this breakfast of kings.
(So, seriously, leave those lentils at home. There’s A LOT of vegan lentil dishes in Turkey so you really don’t need them).
Where to Find the Best Vegan Turkish Breakfast in Istanbul
Below you will find a list of all the top places serving a vegan Turkish breakfast in Istanbul.
I’ve divided the restaurants into three different categories: famous breakfast spots where your breakfast can be veganised, pure vegan options and cheaper breakfasts.
I’ve also added some useful Turkish phrases at the end that will help you on your breakfast journey.
What is a traditional Turkish breakfast?
Turkish breakfast or ‘serpme kahvalti’ (which means ‘spread breakfast’) is a quintessential Turkish experience and no visit to Istanbul (or Turkey for that matter) would be complete without it.
Consisting of a huge number of dishes (ranging from olives, homemade jams and breads, to a variety of cheeses, nuts, dips and scrambled eggs), serpme kahvaltı is traditionally eaten on weekends, when families have time to sit down, spend quality time together and catch up on the week’s events.
This is not a rushed experience - people usually spend several hours lingering over breakfast, just talking, eating and drinking copious amounts of tea.
For a detailed guide to Turkish breakfast (including all the dishes usually found in a traditional breakfast), read our post here.
Turkish breakfast mainly consists of a mixture of Turkish vegetarian dishes plus many vegan items and in Istanbul, the non-vegan dishes can be easily modified or replaced as I will show you below.
Famous restaurants in Istanbul which accommodate vegans
Ceşme Bazlama Kahvalti, Nişantaşi
There are a number of famous restaurants that specialise in serving only breakfast in Istanbul and Ceşme Bazlama Kahvalti in Nişantaşi is one of them.
Widely considered to be the best Turkish restaurant in Istanbul for breakfast, it is common to find people queuing out of the door for a table the whole year round (the restaurant opens at 09.00am and has a no-reservations system).
If you don’t want to wait for ages and make sure you get a table, get here early. Weekdays are marginally quieter, but I’ve seen queues after 10.00am on these days too.
There are also much shorter queues in winter when there are fewer tourists around. Check out this post on why you should visit Istanbul in winter.
Ceşme does not have a Turkish breakfast menu and operates an ‘all-you-can-eat’ concept, which is one of the reasons it is so popular amongst local Istanbulites and tourists. They will basically feed you until you beg them to stop.
They actually even have a saying: “doymadan kalmak yasak”, which means it is forbidden for you to get up before you are fully satisfied. You have been warned.
Also, come at me if you wish, but I think this place is the best restaurant in Istanbul (well, okay for breakfast anyway) .
The restaurant serves a köy kahvalti (village breakfast) and really strives to showcase regional flavours and produce from all around Turkey.
So on your breakfast table you can expect to find tomatoes, cucumbers and peppers from Izmir; green and black olives from Aydin and Antakya; tea from the Black Sea region of Rize; and dried mulberry (kuru dut), nuts, walnuts and apricots from Malatya plus a whole lot more!
Accompanying these dishes is a wide selection of Turkish breakfast bread which includes bazlama (a brown sourdough flatbread), and gözleme, a Turkish pancake stuffed with either potatoes, spinach or cheese.
They also serve pişi, a fried doughnut-like bread made with sweetened sourdough, but the Ceşme version includes milk and cream in the recipe and so isn’t vegan.
When you walk into the restaurant you can actually see the different breads being baked by a cheerful lady and they are served piping-hot to your table.
As well as all this, there are more Turkish vegan dishes: açuka, a spicy dip made with tomatoes combined with walnuts, pomegranate syrup, pepper paste and olive oil; yaprak sarma aka vine leaves stuffed with a spicy rice mixture; cold-pressed olive oil with oregano; a platter of seasonal fruits (including kiwi fruits, strawberries, mandarins, tangerines and grapefruit) and tahini combined with grape molasses.
And then (yes, we still aren’t done), there is a selection of 36 homemade jams, the majority of which are vegan. You can have as many of these as you like (there is a specific jam lady who comes around with a tray at regular intervals).
Over the years I have tried pomegranate, carrot and cinnamon, fig, persimmon, strawberry, lavender and plum jam to name just a few!
Ceşme also serves a number of non-vegan items as part of its breakfast menu which includes: menemen (eggs scrambled with tomatoes, peppers, onion and spices); a platter of five different regional cheeses; stewed mulberries mixed with cheese; honey and clotted cream; fried potatoes mixed with egg; spicy sausage and butter.
However, the beauty of this way of serving breakfast for vegans is that each separate element is served individually on it’s own plate, meaning that it is very easy to pick and choose, remove or veganise certain items to match your specific dietary requirements.
For example, when I ate at Ceşme with my husband (a meat eater) and my sister who is a vegan, I asked for the menemen to be made without eggs and we swapped out some of the cheese platter (I still like my cheese) and other non-vegan dishes for more of the other items on the menu that were vegan friendly.
Add to this plenty of spinach and potato gözleme and all the different jams and we were left feeling stuffed and totally satisfied.
Another great thing about Ceşme is that every single dish is unlimited, so you can have as many of the vegan dishes as you want. Just ask!
This is why you shouldn’t just go to vegan restaurants in Istanbul to try a vegan kahvalti - you can easily veganise the regular Turkish breakfast which means you can still get to experience the most popular breakfast restaurants in the city!
The sheer number of dishes, quality ingredients and the incredible flavours at Ceşme are the main reasons why it is considered to serve the best Turkish breakfast in Istanbul. (Actually, I think it is one of the best breakfasts in the world!)
Breakfast at Ceşme Bazlama Kahvalti currently costs 585TL ($17/£13) per person and includes all the food plus unlimited Turkish tea. We also got a freshly squeezed orange juice so our breakfast cost us a tad more.
Address: Ceşme Bazlama Kahvalti, Teşvikiye, Teşvikiye Mahallesi, Osman F. Seden Sk. No:8, 34365 Şişli/İstanbul
Hours: 9.00am - 5.00pm
Sureya Kahvaltı, Kurtuluş
What’s better than breakfast in a restaurant? Breakfast in a garden!
Located on a nondescript side street in Kurtuluş, Sureya Kahvaltı is a friendly, family-run restaurant with a fantastic garden and is a great place to try traditional Turkish food in Istanbul.
This particular Turkish restaurant in Istanbul is so close to where we live in Şişli that we end up going there at least once a month...
Like Ceşme, Sureya Kahvaltı takes great pleasure in serving homegrown, fresh, seasonal produce which results in a delicious, mouth-watering breakfast spread.
The Turkish breakfast platter at Sureya Kahvaltı includes home-cured green and black olives and a selection of homemade jams made with fruit that has been picked from the garden (on our last visit there was green fig, cherry, strawberry, persimmon and apricot jam but they vary according to the season).
There is also: spicy açuka; a fresh tomato dip; chilli olive oil; sun-dried tomatoes with walnuts, olive oil and rosemary; a selection of fresh seasonal fruits, herbs and vegetables (grapes, strawberries, orange slices, mint and parsley, tomatoes, peppers, lettuce, cucumber); nuts and french fries.
Sureya also offers a range of breads: homemade olive bread topped with tapenade; a bazlama sourdough bread, pişi, and two types of gözleme - you can choose between potato or cheese fillings. The bread is made with flour ground from the family’s own wheat.
The breakfast at Sureya includes a number of non-vegan items like a small cheese selection, honey, menemen and spicy sausage.
However, as at Ceşme, these can easily be removed or veganised. The staff are extremely friendly and it was super easy for us to ask for the menemen to be made without egg and for other items to not be served or replaced with more vegan alternatives.
The gözleme, bazlama and tea at Sureya are unlimited and the sun-lit beautiful garden setting is the perfect spot for a relaxed Sunday brunch in Istanbul.
The accommodating staff and wide variety of vegan options at Sureya Kahvaltı also make it one of my top restaurants in Istanbul for Turkish breakfast.
Breakfast at Sureya Kahvaltı currently costs 500TL ($15/£11.00) per person and they also offer freshly squeezed OJ for 100TL ($3/£2) per person. Reservations can only be made for groups of 4 and above.
Address: Sureya Kahvaltı, Ergenekon Cad, Bilezikçi Sk. No:21-23, 34375 Şişli/İstanbul
Hours: 8.00am - 5.00pm

Arada Cafe, Beyoglu
Looking for a different kind of breakfast in Istanbul? Then head over to Arada Cafe which serves up a Lebanese spin on a traditional Turkish serpme kahvalti. Arada’s breakfast includes unlimited puffy nan-like breads and Turkish tea (there are a range of other teas, coffees, fresh juices and smoothies that you can also order).
Arada’s breakfast contains a whole host of vegan dishes: creamy hummus drizzled with chilli oil; fried-to-perfection falafel; muhammara - a spicy red pepper dip and two types of Beiruti style flatbreads coated with either za’atar (a blend of oregano, thyme, marjoram, and sesame seeds) and olive oil or muhammara.
They also serve pillowy fried pisi; tahini with molasses; courgette stuffed pastry; green and black olives; zaatar in olive oil; a salad and fruit platter; and a variety of homemade jams including cherry and persimmon.
Note: On our previous visits to Arada we asked about whether their bread products (pişi gözleme and bazlama) were vegan and were assured that they were.
However, a reader has informed us that they recently spoke to a chef and a waiter at Arada who said that all of these products have small amounts of dairy in them. Our advice would be to double check with staff beforehand or avoid them completely.
The regular Arada breakfast also includes a cheese board, bal kaymak (clotted cream and honey), menemen, and labne (a kind of cream cheese) mixed with chickpeas. However once again, this breakfast can be easily veganised.
Upon learning that my sister was vegan, the staff at Arada happily prepared the menemen without eggs and we swapped out some of the cheese plate and other non-vegan items for stuffed vine leaves and baba ghanoush. Result!
The number of vegan-friendly items on Arada’s kahvalti menu easily makes it one of the best restaurants in Istanbul for a vegan breakfast.
The price of breakfast at Arada has climbed steadily over the years and now it is the most expensive one on our list! Breakfast at Arada currently costs 999TL ($30/£22) per person. Reservations can be made in advance.
Address: Arada Cafe, Hacımimi, Lüleci Hendek Cd. 23a, 34425 Beyoğlu/İstanbul
Hours: 8.30am - 1.00am
Kat Kat Cafe, Balat
Update: Sadly Kat Kat cafe closed down as the building they were housed in was sold. They were searching for new premises but as of October 2024 we have not seen any updates about a new restaurant. We live in hope that they will eventually open somewhere else!
Serving up a güzel kahvalti (beautiful breakfast) with specialties from Hatay province, Kat Kat cafe in Balat is definitely on my list of the best breakfast places in Istanbul.
Housed in an old restored Ottoman mansion, the cafe is actually on several floors, hence the name Kat Kat, which means ‘in layers’. They also have a gorgeous rooftop dining space which is a great place to enjoy breakfast during the summer!
At the time of writing, Kat Kat serves breakfast only on weekends and is very popular, so arrive by at least 10.00am to get a table.
Kat Kat prides itself on serving quality, organic ingredients and unique dishes from a lesser-visited part of Turkey, meaning that it is one of the best Turkish restaurants in Istanbul to try an authentic Hatay-style breakfast.
The Hatay serpme kahvalti specialities include: biberli ekmek, a flatbread coated in a spicy red pepper paste with za’atar; a fresh and zingy wild thyme and green olive salad; and grilled sweet red peppers in olive oil.
Other unique Hatay-style breakfast dishes include spicy fried potatoes coated in herbs; cevizli biber, a dip made from ground walnuts, hot chillies, spices and tahini, which is similar to açuka; green olives in a tomato and pepper sauce; dark molasses with tahini; and za’atar and olive oil. And yes, all of these are vegan!
There is also a generous salad and fruit platter (with slices of watermelon in the summer); green and black olives; potato fries and at least seven different preserves, including a really yummy apricot jam!
Add to this an unlimited supply of gözleme (with spinach and potato options) and bazlama bread and you’ve got yourself an extremely filling breakfast.
Kat Kat’s breakfast also comes with menemen or fried eggs; a small cheese selection; bal kaymak; labne; and sürk - cottage cheese combined with pepper paste and different spices; butter and honey.
These would be really easy to substitute or remove from the menu - you just need to ask the staff and they will help you!
Kat Kat’s breakfast costs 82.50TL ($9.51/£6.83) per person and they accept reservations for groups of 4 or more people.
Address: Kat Kat Balat, Balat Mah, Yavuz Sultan Selim, Yıldırım Cd. No:11, 34083 Fatih/İstanbul
Hours: 9.00am - 4.30pm (breakfast served only on weekends)
Best breakfasts in Istanbul serving pure vegan Turkish kahvalti
Kahve6, Cihangir
If you don’t want to go to the effort of veganising your breakfast or perhaps, after a week of eating huge breakfasts, you fancy something smaller (I know I did), then Kahve6 in the trendy area of Cihangir serves one of the best breakfasts in Istanbul to satisfy your purely vegan kahvaltı craving.
Kahve6’s vegan breakfast plate includes warm simit or bread; homemade cornbread; green and black olives from the Aegean town of Ayvalık; vegan cheddar; and a fresh herb salad consisting of tomatoes, cucumbers, mint, and parsley.
It also comes with a small selection of dips which vary depending on what they have on that day but you will usually get spicy red pepper acuka, pumpkin and sunflower seeds, tahini pekmez (tahini mixed with carob molasses) and sometimes creamed avocado. Each breakfast comes with a cup of Turkish cay.
Whilst this breakfast might seem small (especially considering the mammoth breakfasts I have described earlier in this article), I assure you that Kahve6’s healthy vegan breakfast is both tasty and filling.
If you can’t face another Türk kahvalti, Kahve6 also serves a vegan granola parfait. Additionally, they offer a number of Turkish vegan food options for lunch, making it a great place for a lazy vegan brunch in Istanbul.
The vegan Turkish kahvalti at Kahve6 currentlycosts 320TL ($9/£7).
Address: Kahve 6, Cihangir, Kılıçali Paşa Mah., Akarsu Cad., Anahtar Sk., No:13/A,34433 Beyoğlu
Hours: 10.00am - 9.00pm
Fill Coffee Shop, Kurtuluş
Going back to my neighbourhood of Şişli/Kurtuluş, we have Fill Cafe, which is the best place for breakfast in Istanbul for a lighter vegan breakfast.
Despite not being a 100% vegan cafe, Fill’s menu has a surprising amount of vegan food on the menu: all of the cafe’s breakfast options have vegan alternatives. There are also four vegan pizzas, two vegan wraps, a vegan calzone, vegan salads and desserts. Woohoo!
Of course you could choose to have a pizza for breakfast (I know I have) but this post is about Turkish breakfast so let’s just stick to the vegan kahvalti options for now.
Fill has two vegan Turkish breakfast choices and the difference between them is that one is bigger and comes with slightly more stuff. Given that the bigger breakfast only costs 2TL more, I’d recommend going for that one.
Generally the larger Fill breakfast plate includes hummus; falafel; cucumber, lettuce and tomato salad; fruit (in the summer you can get yummy mango and banana); black olives; beetroot; a fruit jam or molasses; bread and a glass of tea.
Like Kahve6, the breakfast is small but is definitely filling enough and is another great choice if you are looking for something healthier.
There is also a range of delicious fresh juices and smoothies plus coffees and teas (which can be made with vegan milk) that you can order to go alongside your breakfast.
Address: Fill Coffee Shop, Bozkurt, 64/A, Pangaltı Mah, Eşref Efendi Sk, Şişli İstanbul, 34375 İstanbul
Hours: 9.00am - 8.00pm
Best breakfast in Istanbul with vegan options if you are on a budget
Sometimes the barrier to sampling all of the serpme kahvaltı in Istanbul isn’t the lack of vegan food: it can be the price.
The restaurants and cafes I recommended at the beginning of this article are definitely on the pricier side (especially because they are considered to be some of the best Turkish restaurants in Istanbul for breakfast).
However, if you are on a tight budget, there are places where you can get a decent kahvalti in Istanbul without breaking the bank.
Enter: Breakfast Street or ‘Kahvalti Sokagi’ in Beşiktaş. This is an entire street dedicated to just serving breakfast, 7 days a week .
Popular amongst university students, the restaurants on Breakfast Street charge an average of 250TL- 400TL per person for a full breakfast, which is really good value considering the number of dishes included.
There are several dozen cute restaurants along the street and they generally serve many of the same dishes. Here are two that we have tried and would recommend:
Gufra Kahvalti & Cafe, Beşiktaş
Update: Gufra Kahvaltı has shut down - this is sadly the situation for numerous restaurants in Istanbul and Turkey due to the country’s economic situation.
There are always new restaurants popping up though and we’ve already spotted a few new places to try that we will add to this list in due course!
Located on a side street just off the main Breakfast Street, this Turkish restaurant in Istanbul has several set breakfast menus that vary in price and size, starting off at 20TL ($2.33/£1.70) for a mini kahvalti plate consisting of 8 items, to 42TL ($5/£3.50) per person for a mammoth breakfast with 20 different dishes.
However, ordering a Turkish breakfast set at Gufra isn’t a good option for vegans as most of the dishes are not vegan-friendly.
But you don’t need to worry: the great thing about Gufra is that you can also order a la carte from their menu, which has a range of Turkish vegetable dishes, so you can basically make your own breakfast!
We ordered potato gözleme, three kinds of olives with herbs, a herb salad with cucumbers and tomatoes, açuka, fried potatoes, homemade jam, a fried potato dish, and five teas (yes we love our tea).
The breakfast also came with complimentary bread and the whole thing came to 30TL ($3.50/£2.50) per person. Bargain!
Gufra has a reputation for using quality ingredients and this was clear: everything we tried was delicious and had a very "homemade" taste. This restaurant is definitely one of the best places for breakfast in Istanbul for a wallet-friendly start to the day.
Address: Gufra Kahvaltı & Cafe /Sinanpaşa, Köşeli Sk. No:3A, 34353 Beşiktaş/İstanbul
Hours: 8.00am - 8.00pm
Eleven Brothers
This Turkish cafe in Istanbul is located on the main drag of the famous Breakfast Street and while it has a set Turkish breakfast spread, once again it is better to build your own breakfast from the hot and cold 'extras' section of the menu.
The staff at Eleven Brothers were friendly and once we explained that we wanted mostly vegan dishes, they quickly pointed out what we could have.
In the end, we decided on tahini-pekmez; açuka; potato gözleme (by now a staple in our vegan breakfasts); pisi; homemade jam; green olives; tomato and cucumber salad and fried potatoes.
You can also order slices of watermelon in the summer, which are a welcome refreshing treat in the heat. Like other breakfasts, there was unlimited bread and Turkish tea.
Eleven Brothers and Gufra Kahvalti are great options for vegans because you can order different breakfast dishes separately.
However, there are so many restaurants on Breakfast Street that I would recommend giving others a try to see if they also have a la carte menus or if they can veganise or replace some menu items as other restaurants in this list have done. It is always worth asking!
Address: Eleven Brothers, Sinanpaşa, Çelebi Oğlu Sk. No:26, 34353 Beşiktaş/İstanbul
Hours: 6.30am - 7.00pm
Useful words and phrases you need to know as a vegan in Turkey
English isn't as widely spoken as you might think in Istanbul and I would recommend that vegans learn a few Turkish phrases just in case.
Plus, Turkish people love it when foreigners try to speak their language and so you are likely to find that when you drop some local lingo you get better service, a smile and people trying to do their best to help you out.
Some useful phrases to help you veganise your Turkish breakfast:
Süt ürünleri yemiyorum (soot oo-roon ler-ee yem-e-yor-am) - I do not eat dairy products
Etsiz (Et-seez) - Without meat
Ben bir veganım - I am a vegan
Vegan yemekler var mı? (Vegan yem-ek-ler var muh?) - Is there vegan food?
Vegan Kahvaltı çeşitleri var mı? (Vegan kah-val-tuh ch-esh-it-leh-re var muh?) - Are there vegan breakfast options?
Menemeni yumurtasız yapabilir misiniz? (Mene-men-e yuh-moor-ta-seez yapa-bil-eer miss-ee-neez?) - Can you make the menemen without egg?
Etsiz yemekler var mı? (Et-seez yeh-mek var muh?) - Are there any dishes without meat?
Et var mı? (Is there meat?) - Useful if you are pointing at a dish on a breakfast table or you are not sure about something on a breakfast menu
How to say, "I don't eat...":
Et yemiyorum (et yem-e-yor-am) - I don’t eat meat
Yumurta yemiyorum (yuh-moor-ta yem-e-yor-am) - I don’t eat egg
Peynir yemiyorum (pay-near yem-e-yor-am) - I don’t eat cheese
Süt içmiyorum (soot itch-me-yor-am) - I don’t drink milk
Yoğurt yemiyorum (yoo-urt yem-e-yor-am) - I don’t eat yogurt
Tereyağı yemiyorum (te-re-aa-uh yem-e-yor-am) - I don’t eat butter
Words for common non-vegan breakfast items:
Yumurta (yuh-moor-ta) - Egg
Peynir - Cheese
Bal - Honey
Bal kaymak (bal ky-mack) - Honey and clotted cream
Süt recel (soot re-jel) - Milk jam
Yoğurt (yoo-urt) - Yogurt
Tereyağı (te-re-aa-uh) - Butter
Sucuk/sujuk (su - jook) - Sausage
Words for common vegan breakfast items
I'd also recommend becoming familiar with the words for particular Turkish breakfast items that are vegan so that you don't have to spend ages translating the menu (as some restaurants don't have English menus).
Domates - Tomatoes
Salatalık - Cucumber
Yeşil zeytin - Green olives
Siyah zeytin - Black Olives
Patates - Potatoes
Ispanak - Spinach
Ev recel - Homemade jams
Açuka - spicy red pepper paste
Meyve - Fruit

Go forth and eat breakfast my vegan friends
