The Pudding Shop is the nickname for the Lale Restaurant in Sultanahmet, Istanbul, Turkey.

The restaurant got its colloquial name as a result of "word of mouth" from numerous foreign travellers that could not remember the name of the restaurant but did remember the wide and popular selection of puddings sold there and thus referred to it as the "pudding shop".
