Katmerci Zekeriya Usta is where Gaziantep eats breakfast, a stone oven turning out katmer layered with clotted cream and green Antep pistachio.
OrderFıstıklı katmer with kaymak, eaten hot from the stone oven.
TipCome before ten. The dough is thrown to order and the queue builds through the morning.
Metanet Katmer opens at five in the morning on Kozluca Caddesi, so the classic Gaziantep breakfast of beyran and katmer can be done before sunrise.
OrderClassic katmer with clotted cream and pistachio.
TipPair it with beyran across the road. That is the traditional Gaziantep morning order.
Beyoğlu Katmercim makes katmer in front of the counter on Kozluca Caddesi, a Gaziantep breakfast worth the two-street walk from the busier names.
OrderKaymaklı katmer, watched through the window as it is made.
TipAsk for the corner table. The katmer travels badly even across the room.
Valens Life Cafe lays out a full serpme breakfast in Batıkent, the long-table Gaziantep morning of cheeses, eggs, olives and bottomless tea.
OrderThe full serpme breakfast spread with fried green olives.
TipArrive before 10:00 at weekends. The big tables go first and turn slowly.
Kahve Tiryakisi in Yeditepe pairs a full Turkish breakfast with single-origin filter coffee, which is a rare combination anywhere in Gaziantep.
OrderThe serpme breakfast, with the kaymak and the pekmezli tahin helva.
TipBudget ninety minutes. Breakfast here is a sitting, not a stop between things.
Treff Bistro sets its breakfast tables under the trees of Kavaklık Park, which makes it the best-placed spring morning in central Gaziantep.
OrderWeekend kahvaltı under the trees of Kavaklık Park.
TipThe patio is the whole point. Indoors in winter it is an ordinary bistro.
