Turkish breakfast is unique in the world and we really care about breakfast.. In recent years, when the importance given to breakfast combined with the desire to escape from the city, Çatalca has become indispensable for weekend breakfasts and it is no longer just breakfast.. In fact, a different concept emerged with small zoos in which children can take a ride with horses and different activities.. Even when there was a high demand for this concept, the number of Çatalca breakfast places increased very rapidly.. Of course, as the number increased rapidly, it became difficult to choose; What are the best breakfast places and Where to have breakfast in Çatalca the questions started to be asked a lot. Since I was born and raised in Çatalca, I have been exposed to this question for years, and I hope this article will answer all your questions.
Picnic Enjoyment
Our choice, and therefore our recommendation, Picnic Enjoyment. . Why do you say? The most important reason is the staff.. The biggest problem in Çatalca breakfast places is the indifference of the waiters, usually you have to ask at least 5 times if you want something to come.. Here, there is no problem, the number of waiters is sufficient and there is no problem in service.. Another reason is that there is nothing exaggerated here.. Breakfast is open buffet and there is not enough variety to eat, but you can find what you are looking for; dozens of swings, slides, etc.. no but there is enough. The garden is already large, there is enough space for your children to run around.. There are no horses and donkeys that you can take your children on, but there is one horse, which is enough, and it is not paid like in other places.. It has a big zoo with even a flamingo. Although not as much as the breakfast places in Çatalca, there is a small zoo where you can see a few animals, including peacocks, ostrich and chickens.. There are also ducks and geese in its small lake; most importantly, the prices, we said, there is no exaggeration here; therefore, the prices are not exaggerated and are more affordable than other places.
To give a little more detailed information about the breakfast content; An open buffet of cheeses, appetizers, greens, spring rolls, french fries and peppers and jams.. There was nothing that we said would be nice if this was also the case.. The price of breakfast per person at the picnic is 45 TL. If you want, you can just rent a table and bring your own food here, the rental table price is 85 TL.. It can be profitable for large groups.
Çatalca Horse Farm (Academy Equestrian)
Academy riding, which is a nice place where your child can meet horses, is horse riding as the name suggests. A place that combines breakfast and breakfast. With this feature, we can say that it differs from other breakfast places in Çatalca.. I would recommend this place to families with children more than Picnic Pleasure, there are also options such as a playground besides horseback riding.. The staff in both the equestrian section and the restaurant are very attentive.. The only downside is that the number of staff is small, there can be delays at peak times.. If you are an impatient person, you may experience difficulties..
The price of breakfast per person at the Çatalca horse farm is 45 TL and I can say that the mixed breakfast is medium in terms of saturation and variety.. The pony horse that the little children ride is 20 TL, the big horse is 30 TL. As you can see, the prices are quite affordable compared to other breakfast places.
Flamingo Village
This is a farm with a villa with a pool.. Already the owner of the business is a retired businessman. It gives the impression that he has no idea of making a lot of money, but just doing this job for fun.. However, he is interested in visiting all the tables one by one and the prices are expensive.. As you can see, the owner of the business still hasn’t been able to break away from business life, there is a possibility that he is looking at the event a bit commercially..
Breakfast is open buffet, the content is not bad; service quality is related to nice waiters; a different place, worth seeing, but the price of breakfast in Flamingo Village is 90 TL per person. I did not see a problem in terms of cleanliness; the services and the place where the open buffet was clean. There are flamingos and swans around, and there are ducks and 2 pedalos in a small pond.. However, if you go during the busy period, you will not have the opportunity to see them.. In general, if you say is it worth it, I think it’s definitely not worth it, but if you’re very curious, you can go and see it once.. I haven’t heard of anyone who went a second time anyway.. If you go, definitely go early in the morning, otherwise you will not be able to find a place and they do not take reservations.. Even if you go late and find a place, your day will be ruined by waiting in the open buffet.
Even though I try to make my comments objective, I can’t help but say; Among the breakfast places in Çatalca, Flamingo Köy is my last place to go, it’s not about the price of breakfast or the quality of service.. It doesn’t seem right to me that the flamingos there are kept captive so I can have breakfast and enjoy themselves, yes, their tails are cut off so they can’t fly.
Antikköy
Catalca is the pioneer of breakfast places Antikköy is not the first breakfast place, it is the first to implement the concept we mentioned above.. Actually, the second branch that is currently in operation, the first branch has been closed.. The first branch was really nice and there was no alternative back then. The only thing that hasn’t changed since then is the price policies.. When I said that I was from Çatalca, many people said either “I came to Antikköy” or “There was a place called Antikköy in Çatalca, it was very beautiful”. The impression I got from these people; one regret that does not go, a thousand regrets that do
An open buffet consisting of ready-made breakfast products, has absolutely nothing to do with the village breakfast. Breakfast price is 60 TL per person in Antikköy. When we look at the environment, I can say that Antikköy is the best among Çatalca breakfast places, it spreads over a wide area and is beautifully designed.. But let’s face it, they are increasing the number of tables every day due to the density and it is on the way to become a cramped place.. The indifference of the waiters is the biggest problem here. By the way, recently I heard that they get extra money to enter the section with animals.
Çatalca Park
Prices are competitive with Flamingo Village, service quality is just the opposite.. Especially the reason why I write here; it’s on the road and it’s a place that looks nice from the outside. I won’t go into too much detail because our aim is not to vilify anyone, I think I have warned enough
–
Yes, Çatalca is one of the most beautiful places for breakfast with its nature, but it must be admitted that this system did not fully settle and There is a serious demand. People start this business by turning their homes into restaurants, but most of them know nothing about business.. Therefore, it is useful to make a few warnings for Çatalca breakfast places in general: First of all, do not be deceived by the outer appearance.. Most of them do not care about the quality of service, as customers come to the places on the road anyway.. Another thing you should pay attention to is that everything is paid.. If they offer you anything, for example; if the clown gives your child a balloon, if anyone wants to put him on a horse, etc.. ask for the fee, they can pretend it’s free and then ask for money. Since we have made the warnings, let’s finally say the following; In terms of quality and service, Flamingo Köy is the best Çatalca among breakfast places, but don’t forget the captivity of flamingos.. When we evaluate it in terms of price/performance, we can say that the best is Picnic Pleasure,even if you are going with children, Academy Riding.
