Kahvaltı is a spread of small plates — white cheese, olives, tomatoes and cucumbers, eggs, honey with kaymak (clotted cream), jams, simit or fresh bread — served with black tea. On a breakfast cruise you have it out on the water.

Eminönü and Karaköy by the Golden Horn are known for balık ekmek and simit, Kadıköy on the Asian side has a lively food market, and the Spice Bazaar is the place for Turkish delight, spices and dried fruit.
