Kadim Restaurant
In Üsküdar, History, Flavor, and Culture Come Together at the Same Table:
The historic İskele Hamam (Pier Bathhouse), located in Üsküdar Square, was built during the reign of Sultan Mehmed the Conqueror and later reinterpreted with the touches of the architect Sinan. Having undergone many changes over the centuries, the structure was completely demolished in 1991 and rebuilt in its present form. This architectural treasure, which has housed various businesses over time, was redesigned in 2018 for the Kadim Kahve concept; subsequently, it has found its rightful place in the world of gastronomy as the Kadim Restaurant.
