A little piece of Berlin in Istanbul, Mitte draws in the hip Kadıköy and Moda crowd with its al fresco dining, healthy fare and prompt service. What sets Mitte apart from other trendy cafes is their dedication to using only the highest quality ingredients. There’s nothing more relaxing than a leisurely brunch spent nibbling on crunchy sourdough bread, fresh butter, homemade jams or avocado on toast in the cafe’s leafy front garden.
