The best way to get there is to find your way to the big statue of the eagle, which is in the middle of the Besiktas market, and then ask for "Kaymakci Pando." Everybody knows him. Good luck.

It's one of our all-time favorite places. We're fairly sure that's the right address, but we'll double check. It's a very well known spot, so if all else fails, tell your friends to just go to the Besiktas market and as for "kaymakci Pando". Glad you found the place and enjoyed it.

It was an unbelievable breakfast. I have some friends going over soon and I want to tell them how to get to it. Are you fairly sure that street name is right? Koyici Meydani Sok, I mean. I had lunch at a durum place opposite that is also well known in the area. I was in Istanbul recently and came across the little blue shop you describe. It was an unbelievable breakfast.

Kaymak is pure indulgence, a guilty pleasure. In some form or the other it is available in a lot of other countries too. In Afghanistan they have this with a sweet (slightly sweet) bread called Roate (like BOAT but with R). The Afghani Kaymak is very similar to the Turkish Kaymak. The Kaymak from Bosnia is lighter like whipped cream and taste like butter. In NYC I get my Kaymak fix from i) Sjenica (278 Parker Ave, Clifton, NJ 07011) & ii) Yakamoz Restaurant (1095 Main St, Paterson, NJ 07503) Of all the things from Turkey / Istanbul that I miss in NYC area this is one thing.
