Yılmaz Café Restaurant
Yılmaz Cafe
A modest, good-value eatery on the plateau's main street, known for pickle stir-fry with cornbread and its Turkish breakfast. It is one of the highest-rated spots among visitors.
Located on Şehit Binbaşı Ömer Aktuğ Avenue on the Ayder Plateau, this is one of the highest-rated small eateries in the Ayder area on Tripadvisor. The most recommended dish is turşu kavurma (pickled beans or pickled vegetables stir-fried with eggs, served with cornbread). The breakfast spread and the meatballs are also popular. The place is simple and family-run and cheaper than the scenic restaurants, which makes it suitable for breakfast or a simple meal before or after a hike. No reservation is needed, though weekend lunches in peak season may involve a short wait.
Opening hours
Peak season about 08:00–21:00. May close in winter
