The Best Restaurants In Batman Turkey

The Turkish city of Batman has a small, but nonetheless tempting dining scene offering foodies the chance to try everything from traditional kebab recipes to authentic desserts. Here’s a round-up of Batman’s best restaurants.

1. Petrol Café

Diner, Restaurant, Seafood, Turkish

Set among gorgeous, green gardens, Petrol Café is a chic, tranquil respite from the bustling streets of Batman. It is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner. A wide range of savory fare is served from içli köfte (bulgur stuffed with ground meat, nuts and spices) and böreği to Iskender kebab and döner wraps alongside breads, breakfast eats and a new signature fish dish introduced each Monday. There’s plenty to satisfy a sweet tooth too: cakes, sweets and pastries including homemade cookies and baklava. Fresh fruit is also on offer for the health conscious diner.

2. Kent Café

Cafe, Coffee, Turkish

Opened in 2011, Kent Café is a popular Batman spot serving a range of Turkish and international fare. It contains a pretty garden decked out with comfy sofas ideal for a spot of al fresco dining. Go early and dine on breakfast dishe like omelets and menemen (a popular Turkish breakfast recipe of eggs, tomatoes, peppers and spices). Or, go later for lunch or dinner and dine on traditional Turkish meat and fish dishes including grilled chicken, anchovies, Adana kebabs and sea bass. Alternatively, opt for one of Kent Café’s more casual dishes like pizza or hamburger.

3. Saray Gülü Café

Cafe, Turkish

A gorgeous space with chandeliers, sumptuous velvet armchairs and a chic gold, red and pink theme, it’s no wonder how Saray Gülü Café – whose names translates as ‘Rose Palace’ – got its name. Part restaurant and part bakery, the cafe serves a menu of Turkish and international food perfect for an early morning, afternoon or evening meal. The options here include omelets, pide, sandwiches and kebabs. The confectionery side of the venue offers guests sweet treats like pastries including pistachio or walnut baklava and a range of chocolates in flavors like orange or hazelnut.

4. LUQQA Café

Cafe, Restaurant, Turkish, European, Dessert

A modern and stylish addition to Batman’s restaurant scene, LUQQA Café opened its doors in late 2013 and serves an eclectic mix of international and European inspired dishes. Fare like pancakes, waffles and omelets make the perfect breakfast. For that much needed morning caffeine kick, LUQQA Café’s range of coffees – espresso con panna, caffe mocha and flat whites included – are ideal. For lunch and dinner, the cafe’s menu offers casual food like sandwiches, salads and burgers alongside pasta, steaks and Turkish dishes. Follow this with a choice of tempting desserts and ice creams.
