A few questions before heading out for breakfast in Çankaya. First: spread or plate? If you're a crowd, go for the spread — the table fills with small dishes, everyone takes a bit of everything, and sharing is half the fun. If it's two of you or you're in a hurry, a plate or ordering off the menu makes more sense; which one a place offers varies.
Second: do I need a reservation? On weekdays, usually not. Weekend mornings get noticeably busier; if you're going with a big group, a phone call ahead beats standing at the door.
Third: are tea refills extra? At many places, the tea that comes with a spread keeps getting refilled — it's part of the culture, but not a written rule. If you're not sure, asking takes one sentence.
Fourth: how long does it take? As long as you want. A breakfast table doesn't rush you; sitting down for an hour and getting up three hours later is entirely normal. Don't stack tight plans right after.
Fifth: can I bring kids? Generally yes. Land somewhere with a garden and both you and the kids will be more relaxed.
Sixth: where's the village breakfast? Some places of that kind sit outside the centre, by the road or inside a village. Think about getting there and back up front — you'll be tired and full on the way home.
Seventh: which one should I pick? Our count for Çankaya in this category stands at 15. If the group debate isn't over before the tea has brewed, roll the dice and take the debate to the table.
