About Patile Yıldız

Patile Yıldız is the Birlik branch of Patile, an Ankara restaurant and patisserie that dates its story to February 2003. The owners describe themselves as lovers of Turkish cuisine who wanted to combine traditional recipes with current eating trends, carry old Turkish hospitality and table manners into the present, and bring families back together around tables like the bayram (holiday) feasts of the past. You will find it at 435. Cadde No:63 in Birlik, Çankaya. Its sister branch, Patile Çayyolu, is in the Dora Park Villaları in Çayyolu. The cooking is Turkish and homely. Look for Patile's own mantı, Elazığ-style içli köfte and meat-stuffed vine leaves, olive-oil vegetable dishes such as artichokes, leeks and stuffed aubergines, and a wide meze spread with acuka, Albanian-style liver, Circassian chicken, fava, hummus and şakşuka. The pastry counter covers su böreği, rolled börek, butter poğaça and simit, a big range of butter biscuits, and desserts from fırın sütlaç and kalburabastı to brownies and mosaic cake. Much of the range can be bought by the kilo to take home, and Patile also takes large group orders and caters events.
