Arada Cafe
Arada Cafe is a casual Lebanese spot popular for its large Turkish and Lebanese breakfast plates, including hummus, falafel, and mezze. The venue has cozy indoor and outdoor seating including a rooftop area, and prices are considered on the higher side for Istanbul, with breakfast around 730 TL. Staff generally accommodate vegan modifications well, but some recent guests noted issues with vegan bread availability and occasional confusion distinguishing vegan dishes during mixed orders.
