Gorgeous eggs benedict. Bacon is a relatively new thing in Antalya restaurants.

Refreshments around the clock.

The passion fruit margarita at The House Café. One thing I really love about this place (besides the amazing food and cocktails) is that they never give me a hard time about the camera.

Vanilla Lounge have revamped their menu for the 2012 season, and if you thought their food was spectacular before, you should really drop in and try some of the new dishes.

Oh, and they still have amazing cocktails.

There are few meals I enjoy more than the sushi boat. I love taking friends to SushiCo for lunch.

Americano, black, no sugar, lots of cinnamon.

I was given a lovely gift of Chilean Merlot… perfect for a late winter’s evening.

If this seems like a blatant ad for Krispy Kreme, so be it. I was disappointed not to find any branches in Minnesota… luckily Krispy Kreme is alive and well in Istanbul.

So many good places to eat and drink in Istanbul.

The most expensive drinks on the strip, but also the best view.
