Bumba Breakfast Club

Top choice in Alaçatı


Bumba's table-covering breakfasts are packed with local and seasonal herbs, cheeses and fruit. Highlights of 15 small plates could include yoghurt with mulberries or delicate honey and tahini. After 4pm, the energetic young owners transform Bumba into a bustling meyhane with loads of meze and rakı-fuelled fun. Look out for the family of tortoises sometimes patrolling the restaurant's floor.
