Garag'e

Top choice in Black Sea Coast


With half a car chassis over the door, this spacious, contemporary bistro overlooks the Hopa waterfront and has a wide-ranging iPad menu of cafe food favourites, including pizzas, pasta, kebabs, fajitas and lamb chops. Many mains come with scrumptious triple-fried chips and a rice pilaf served in an edible bowl of crispy pastry.

Fresh juices (from ₺12) and barista coffees (from ₺9) are available. Garag'e is just one of a trio of appealing cafes directly across the main highway from the Sarp minibus stand; helpfully there is a gap in the central reservation fence to walk through.
