SULEYMANIYE CHOCOLATOR (SÜLEYMANİYE ÇİKOLATACISI)
Our another favorite is the Süleymaniye Chocolator. This dessert was the only reason for happiness during the exam weeks. A place designed with the Ottoman concept. It’s a small 4-storey building and has completely handmade chocolates just like Asuman. White, milk and dark chocolate. The names of the desserts are Bezmara, Berefşan (souffle), Hurrem and a few others, but I forgot their names. The menu is with a photo, you can easily choose whichever is good for you. Our favorites were white Bezmara, Berefşan and ice cream.
