Mardin Cafe Restaurant

You'll find this Turkish café holding down a corner of Copnor Road, doing exactly what it says on the tin without any pretense. The breakfast platters are substantial affairs – think Turkish sausage, fresh bread, cheese, olives, and eggs cooked how you want them, all for under a tenner. The coffee's strong enough to wake the dead, and they know their way around a proper fry-up too. The place fills up with locals who've clearly been coming for years, which tells you everything you need to know. It's the sort of spot where you can linger over weekend breakfast without anyone rushing you, though the 3pm closing means you can't dawdle forever. Nothing fancy, just solid Turkish hospitality and hearty food that'll set you up properly for the day.
