Breakfast is the meal Türkiye does best

A Turkish breakfast ("kahvaltı") is a table of small plates: cheeses, olives, tomatoes, cucumber, honey with clotted cream, eggs with sucuk, simit bread, and endless tea. It's meant to be slow, especially on weekends, and it's often the best value meal of the day. In Istanbul, the breakfast street in Beşiktaş and the cafés of Cihangir are good starting points; in Van, in the east, it's the regional specialty.
