I’m a pretty big fan of coffee, especially when I can get good coffee, which was difficult in Asia.  However, in Turkey coffee is pretty unique.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
Turkish coffee is a method of preparing <\/i>the coffee, the actual beans are the same as any other coffee. The beans are finely ground and then boiled in a pot.  When it is served in a cup, the grounds settle on the bottom.  If it is done well, it can be very good.  If it’s not done well, you get bad coffee!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Most interesting though is what comes with it.  Must places serve it with a biscuit, a biscotti, or a piece of Turkish delight.  The restaurant last night had a bit of a different spin on it.<\/div>\n

The coffee is in the top left hand side of the picture.  The chocolate is from Belgium.  They sliced off pieces of chocolate at the table.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The restaurant was called %100 Restaurant<\/b> and is right on the waterfront in Izmir.  It’s certainly not the cheapest place I have eaten at in Turkey, but the food and service were very good.  They have nice views of Izmir and the bay with lots of seats outside.<\/div>\n
