Located between the Dolmabahçe Palace and the Painting Museum, it is the perfect place to stop between visits. It is located in what used to be the dolphin’s apartments. Here you can drink tea, coffee and other non-alcoholic beverages and enjoy biscuits, cakes and desserts. The prices are higher than average. Although the place is small, the tea house is very exclusive and the decor is majestic with its large windows overlooking the Bosphorus. Avoid coming on weekends, but during the week the place is very quiet.
Ahmed Ali Pasha (1841 – 5 May 1907), better known as “Şeker” Ahmed Pasha, was an Ottoman painter, soldier and government official. His nickname “Şeker” meant “sugar” in Turkish, which he earned due to his very easy-going nature.
