Baylan Bebek

Established in 1923, Baylan is Turkey’s oldest patisserie and the only destination for kup griye in the city. The sweets shop recently took on a novel concept by opening a restaurant right next to its Bebek branch, where Gloria Jean’s used to be. The patisserie section is still as ambitious as ever, with the open display of all sorts of sweets on the ground floor pulling you right in. You’ll find a bar on the top floor and an elegant restaurant seating 60 on the lowest floor. The menu served here is overseen by three-time Michelin-starred French Chef Alain Ducasse. From the specially-designed dinnerware to the design-marvel glasses, every detail screams elegance. Stop by for dinner and try the ravioli and angler fish prepared with Ducasse’s recipe.
