Where to Eat in Yomra & Trabzon: A 2026 Food Guide

Trabzon is one of Turkey's most rewarding food cities for travelers — and most of the action happens not downtown but in the Yomra district and especially its main neighborhood, Kaşüstü. Here's how to plan a few days of eating that covers all the local specialties without driving more than 10 minutes from your hotel.

Why Yomra?

Yomra is a district just east of Trabzon city center, home to:

• ●Trabzon Airport (TZX) — 5 minutes by car
• ●KTÜ (Karadeniz Technical University) — keeps food prices honest
• ●Multiple beachfront promenades — for evening walks
• ●Local hotels and serviced apartments — popular with Gulf and European tourists in summer

Kaşüstü specifically — the main neighborhood on Onur Sokak and parallel streets — has clustered the highest concentration of family-run food businesses in the district.

Best Pide Spot

Enfes Pide on Onur Sokak in Kaşüstü is a newly opened stone-oven pide restaurant. We bake with traditional wood-fired ovens, source meat and cheese locally, and offer a small cosy dine-in space plus full delivery across Yomra and to central Trabzon hotels. Multilingual QR menu, English and Arabic spoken. See our pide guide for what to order.

Turkish Breakfast (Kahvaltı)

Turkish breakfast (kahvaltı) is a national institution — and Trabzon does it especially well. Look for restaurants offering serpme kahvaltı (spread breakfast) with:

• ●Multiple cheeses (try kolot, çökelek, lor)
• ●Local olives, honey, butter, jam
• ●Kuymak — the Black Sea melted cheese + butter + corn flour specialty, served sizzling in a copper pan
• ●Fresh village eggs, sucuk (Turkish sausage), tomato, cucumber
• ●Endless tea

Breakfast spots are scattered along Kaşüstü's main avenue and in the Akoluk neighborhood next door.

Late-Night Eats

Yomra is a young district — university crowd plus airport night staff means late-night food is easy to find. Pide and lahmacun spots often stay open until 23:00 (Enfes Pide included). After that, you'll find doner, dürüm wraps, and 24/7 simit (sesame bread ring) bakeries.

Coffee and Sweets

• ●Third-wave coffee shops — around the university there are 3–4 specialty coffee spots.
• ●Pestil & köme — Trabzon's signature mulberry fruit leather and walnut sausage, sold by traditional grocers.
• ●Baklava and laz böreği — Black Sea sweet pastry traditions; check old-school tatlıcı shops.

Family-Friendly Dining

Trabzon is very family-oriented; restaurants with high chairs and child-friendly menus are common. For groups of 6+, takeaway or delivery to your accommodation is often easier than dining in — most local restaurants (Enfes Pide included) have small dining rooms. Call ahead to confirm capacity, and consider delivery to your hotel lobby or apartment for the smoothest experience.

Pro Tip: Order Two Pides for Two People

Restaurants will sometimes serve oversized portions to please tourists. With pide, two pides between two people is the right ratio — one classic yaprak kıymalı kaşarlı and one yuvarlak peynirli. Add 4 lahmacuns to share as a starter.
