Patisserie de Pera is a pastry shop and salon located inside the historic Pera Palace Hotel in Istanbul’s Tepebaşı district. It is designed as an intimate salon with an interior reflecting the historical character of the hotel. Its selection includes handmade chocolates, French pastries, and selected Turkish desserts. The French influence derives from the hotel’s European identity and its original role in accommodating passengers of the Simplon Orient Express. Turkish desserts form the local component of the menu and complement its French pastry tradition. The selection includes individual pastries, cakes, chocolate confections, and products prepared for special occasions. The desserts are made in the hotel’s kitchen and served with a range of hot and cold beverages. They can be consumed in the salon, while part of the selection is also available for takeaway.
