Kantin Review

The vast selection of posh eateries in Nisantasi is overwhelming. But what to do when all one wants is a simple, unassuming, wholesome, and flavorful (late?) lunch event? Kantin provides that experience, combining a cafe, specialty takeout, and bistro all in one. Head up to the second floor past the scent of lilies directly to the rear of the building. There, the room is divided by a fourth wall of glass, leaving you to choose an indoor table or, weather permitting, a spot under the Linden trees on the outdoor terrace. The menu changes daily and features the freshest flavors of the season. Some of the more regular items are a grilled vegetable salad, a "crispy" salmon, and to finish, a dondurmali irmik (sweet semolina topped with ice cream).

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
