Patlican Cafe: Have a Sunday Brunch in Inciralti!

    This was a place where my bestfriends in Izmir took me and my husband before we departed for our honeymoon in 2005. It's special itself cuz it was the very first gettogether with friends as a married couple:)

    Patlican Cafe is in Inciralti district. Patlican is the Turkish word for aubergine actually and the cafe is given this name cuz of the aubergine greenhouses around. It may be a bit hard to find its location (the address is provided below anyway) as it's in the middle of some fields, but, it's a perfect place for a super Turkish Sunday breakfast.

    It's also a nice place for families with kids as there are many things the kids can do to have fun.

    A complete Turkish breakfast: They bring tomatoes with olive oil, cheese with eggs, fresh orange juice and all sorts of gozleme (Check the pic for gozleme)

    ACIKTIM. Ok, you will find many good restaurants in Izmir to taste the great Turkish cousine but if you’re out of money and you visit Bornova district this is the place for you. In Aciktim for less than 2 euro (!!) I ate a tasty tomato soup(domates corbasi), a plate with vegetables and chicken(Turlu), a plate with rice (pilav), tzatzik (cacik) and bread (ekmek).

    Yes, it was very nice :) There was no tourist around, only locals, students, workers etc Noone spoke english too :)

    I also loved the desert at the end. It was the famous Sutlac (rice and milk), simple and good!

    It's a speacial restaurant for me cuz when I was at primary school, my mum used to take me there for a special mum-daughter lunch at the end of every school semester. We always ate (and still eat when I am in town) doner kebap or iskender kebap there so I don't know the tastes of other dishes. The other meat dishes are known to be good though.

    They have great seafood as well as classical Ottoman food and specialities from international cuisines. They have live music almost every night. The view of the city is so great that you can only have a cup of coffee and feel full.

    There were many small restaurants serving kebab around Konak square, in Alsancak etc MANISAJI was one of them I visited. It has a big variety of kebab plates, good yogurts and some not so nice salads. I also drunk Ayran a strange drink made out of salted yogurt, diluted with water! I don’t think I payed more than 6 euros that night. . Yes, food is cheap in Izmir.

    • a street vendor selling simit - Izmir
    a street vendor selling simit
    by mindcrime
    One cheap and tasty thing to eat is simit. You will find it everywhere because many street vendors sell it. I saw many small kiosks selling simit in Izmir as in every city in Turkey. I used to have two of them every morning with my tea. We call it koulouri in Greece but it is just the same thing, a circular bread with sesame seeds. Very common in other Balkan countries too simit is eaten plain or for breakfast with cheese. That’s why in some of the kiosks they sell cheese too. Most of the times they also sell small sandwiches with tomato and cheese.
