The restaurant was opened during the WWI and became an important place of meeting for Turkish and foreign visitors, the most important one being Atatürk. Pandeli restaurant is Turkey’s first dining location with a tourism certificate and is famous for its turquoise-colored tiles at the entry of the Spice Bazaar.

226 Iznik tiles of varying colors and sizes, which got damaged or fell over time, were restored by our facility in 2018.
