Brunch on Büyükada: The Best Way to Start Your Day at the Island's Calm Tempo

Büyükada brunch is a different experience — away from Istanbul's crowds, in the calm of the island air. After stepping off the ferry, a short walk to Çınar Square brings you to Julius Büyükada, where you can order both breakfast and brunch until noon. Three minutes from the pier, a calm spot where islanders and day-trippers meet.

Brunch Menu

The Julius brunch menu brings light and hearty options together. Plates like Smashed Avocado Toast, Scrambled Croissant, Focaccia Sandwich and Salmon Bruschetta — accompanied by espresso, filter coffee or freshly squeezed orange juice. For vegan and lighter choices, Julius Bowl and Cacao Bowl are also available. All breads are sourdough-based, ingredients are sourced daily.

Weekend Brunch Rhythm

Weekend brunch on Büyükada is a special pleasure. Julius is open Friday, Saturday and Sunday from 10:00 to 22:00. Take the first ferry, start your day with brunch, then head out on the Aya Yorgi hike or stop by for a second coffee break after your coastal walk. The location near the seaside walking route makes it practical to visit after your island tour.

Why Julius Büyükada?

A short distance from the pier, outdoor seating at Çınar Square, specialty coffee quality and a portion-based menu — Julius makes the Büyükada brunch experience both practical and high-quality. The same brunch menu is available on weekdays from 10:00 as well.
