La Gioia

Ankara


The see-and-be-seen crowd packs out the front terrace on sunny days, tucking into European-style mains of grilled steak with sage risotto and gorgonzola sauce and chicken parmigiana or gossiping over salads of beetroot and goat's cheese or artichoke and quinoa. There's an excellent wine list and plenty of cocktails on offer if you just want to people-watch with a drink.

The main dining room is a giant conservatory-style affair, but the outdoor tables are the ones to bag.
