Absolutely loved this place 🥰 The atmosphere is amazing, the food is absolutely delicious, and the service is outstanding. Every detail of the interior is beautifully designed, making it the perfect spot to relax and take lots of beautiful photos. It’s located right in the heart of Istanbul, just a short walk from the Galata Tower. I highly recommend Frida Cafe to anyone visiting the city!

Decent food and service. It’s a few mins from the Galata tower but worth it and a decent price as well

This place was right across from out hotel. The first night I had the salmon bowl it was so fresh and delicious. Tonight I'm going to try the hamburger. I'm really hoping it's as good as the first meal I had there. I'll come back and edit the review. I'm sure it's going to be amazing I ordered by whats app. Which was so convenient. The burgers were great and I'm really happy with the service and quality. Thanks so much!!

What a great interior to this restaurant. Love the ambiance. It was a nice day so I sat outside instead. I had been walking all day so I was quite hungry. This kebab wrap with fries really hit the spot. Very tasty and good quality.
