Culina

Black Sea Coast


Pumping high-decebel music downstairs, but contrastingly sedate up top, Culina is the in spot for Giresun's upwardly mobile 20-somethings. Sip an espresso or leaf through a thick menu of international fare including quinoa salad, pizza, quesadillas and fried manti (Turkish ravioli).

Style doesn't trump quality however, and the chefs even make something special of humble menemen (scrambled egg and tomato dish, ₺13) which includes delicious strands of melted cheese. Culina is handily central on the pedestrianised street paralleling the coast, one block back from the highway.
