BRUNCH Alfresco @LALEDAN Terrace in CIRAGAN Palace (Istanbul)

Protected content

Indulge in Ottoman splendour while indulging your appetite. There's no doubt about it and don't let anyone tell you the contrary: living well (and eating well to live) is the best revenge.

This one's our "Hello Summer" get-together: this time under the sun and not under the stars, while cheekily waving back at the boats and yachts that pass by a whispering distance away in the Bosphorus:)

Let's give all the oglers the "let them eat cake" since there will be more than a dozen of cakes from among the number of dishes to choose from in the Laledan brunch spread.

Actually, you've probably not seen this much, all-impeccably-prepared food in one setting ever. Casino food it is certainly not.

All for another heftily discounted price of 115TL (It's Ciragan, dear; normally 150TL) with 1 glass Prosecco, all non-alcoholic beverages & tea/coffee included.

The list of dishes is nothing short of staggering. I'm short of breath bringing it here for you to check out (and I'm not including the dessert section, where the cakes are :) ), grouped by sections:

Just a quick comment: every time i have an out-of-town guest to impress, or someone who's been here but never experienced a brunch at Laledan in Ciragan, where the movers and shakers of Istanbul troop with their families in tow, I always tell him/her that "you cannot possibly leave our city without treating yourself to it!"
The list above is the reason why :))
