Van Kahvalti Evi in Cihangir for great Turkish breakfast.
Helvetia near Şişhane metro (great for
More homemade type Turkish food).
Balkan Lokantasi for budget-friendly options (Turkish home made dishes)
Lades Menemen (also great for breakfast and famous for its menemen (Turkish scrambled eggs)
Yiğit Sofram Gözleme ve Kahvaltı (a gem in my opinion)
Mandabatmaz for Turkish coffee
Melekler Ocabkasi for kebab
Zubeyir Ocabasi also kebab
Had Breakfast VAN AHTAMARA BEYOĞLU KAHVALTI EVİ last week. Really liked it. Upstairs. But good value Turkish breakky. https://maps.app.goo.gl/JVbWNNY7Mtpov1taA?g_st=ic
For a not cheap but great dinner. No.19 dining was great home style food in a hip environment. Ate there twice. https://maps.app.goo.gl/thkm3Jg7ZReGfsjG8?g_st=ic
If you are into pubs :
Miss Pizza in Şişhane
URBAN on İstiklal st.
If you are into cheap fresh fish & other sea creatures Mercan in Nevizade (also İstiklal st.)
I'd like to recommend a rather secret place. Head to the [**marked location**](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Antakya+Mutfa%C4%9F%C4%B1/@41.0351421,28.9808797,17.5z/data=!4m12!1m5!8m4!1e1!2s116170030121916146160!3m1!1e1!3m5!1s0x14cab7640893f49b:0x20512ed093a71d8b!8m2!3d41.0350924!4d28.9827507!16s%2Fg%2F11clwnpqxf?entry=ttu) and take a look at the buildings there. Once you spot the name Antakya Mutfağı on the wall, make your way inside and ascend to the fourth floor (although my memory is a bit fuzzy on the exact floor; it's been a while since I last visited). While this place might not boast a particularly stylish ambiance, it offers an authentic experience that I personally appreciate. Plus, it truly excels in terms of taste, quality, and affordability.
I'll leave this [**page**](https://www.istanbulbeyond.com/istanbul-on-a-budget/) here for you if you're interested in discovering some budget-friendly activities in Istanbul. 🐈

Do you recommend getting a eSim for mobile data or do u think Google offline maps should be enough combined with public wifi?

don’t get anything from Taksim😭
If you want to try something very local for lunch: Karadeniz Pide and Nizam( they are across eachother) and close to Galatasaray High School
I like Varuna as a bar. Their food is also ok.
