Discover New York Bagel Sandwich in Istanbul: From Salmon with Cream Cheese and Capers to Classic Options
Istanbul is renowned for its vibrant bread culture, with simit—a Turkish sesame-encrusted bagel similar to a Montreal bagel—being a star of local bakeries. However, when you’re craving a fluffier New York-style bagel piled high with eggs, cream cheese, or salmon with cream cheese and capers, Istanbul has you covered.
While simit dominates, New York-style bagels are gaining traction. Below are the best bakeries, cafes, and breakfast spots in Istanbul for a classic non-pork bacon egg and cheese or a delicious New York Bagel Sandwich with salmon and capers.
Everything Bagel
Everything Bagel in Moda, on Istanbul’s Asian side, is your go-to for an authentic New York-style breakfast sandwich. Offering a variety of bagels from poppyseed to cinnamon, they serve a classic bacon egg and cheese as well as vegetarian options like salmon with cream cheese and capers. Moda, Istanbul
New York Bagel & Coffee
New York Bagel & Coffee has two locations in Çukurcuma and Cihangir, both serving stellar New York Bagel Sandwiches. Fresh bagels are available for takeaway, but note that Çukurcuma closes at 4 p.m. and Cihangir at 6 p.m., often selling out earlier. Çukurcuma and Cihangir, Istanbul
