Lonely Planet İstanbul Guide

Ottoman sebil (fountain) outside the Ali Paşa Camii is very popular with local shopkeepers and shoppers as well as students from nearby İstanbul University. Bena Dondurmaları ( MAP GOOGLE MAP ; % 0212-520 5440; Gazı Atik Ali Paşa Camii 12b, Çemberlitaş; ice cream ₺ 1 per scoop, desserts ₺ 3-5; h 10am-6pm Mon-Sat; j Çemberlitaş) There’s inevitably an afternoon queue in front of this tiny dondurma (Turkish ice cream) shop in the courtyard of the Atik Ali Paşa Camii. Though the dondurma is an undeniable draw, we tend to opt for the fırın sütlaç (rice pudding) or decadent trileçe (cream soaked sponge cake with a caramel topping).
