Zenger Paşa Konağı |
It is the first touristic restaurant of Ankara. Constructed in 1595 during Ottoman Empire era she has been able to continue her existence to our time. Having been restored by Erkal Zenger in 1991/92 she came into operation. Zenger Paşa Konağı, bearing a striking resemblance to old Ankara Houses, has a very alluring athmosphere. On the third storey of Zenger Paşa Konağı, which is used as a restaurant, you can watch the mysterious and unique scene of Ankara and enjoy yourself drinking your beverage while listening to Performance played by an orchestra. Besides, you can taste different meals of Anatolia here; especially Pasha Flat Bread(Paşa Pidesi), ‘Glad Eyes (Gözleme), Girdle Fried Meat (Saç kavurma) and Meat pasty (mantı) are among the mostly prefered ones. The fact that the prices are not so high enables people of different walks of life to come; civil servants, students and the bureaucrats are the frequenters. They can reserve their places, (Beyhan Baydur, Bilkent University, Student, TOMYO) |

Göksu |
The most striking feature of the decoration is Hitit Güneşi, which has become the symbol of Ankara and civilization freskos. The restaurant with a capacity of 230 customers has the system of fusion cuisine that is the trend of the day. That is, it is possible to taste any of French, Russian, Turkish and especially Black sea region cuisine: My favorites are stuffed black cabbage, fried pickles and kuymak. There is also a variety of seafood. The price of the restaurant which serves between 12:00 and 24:00 is quite reasonable. The restaurant appeals to many people including bureaucrats and foreign guests. The restaurant having received an award for its hygiene from Ankara Municipality is very good both at service and quality of food. The only possible difficulty might be the parking problem.

By the help of fascinating pool sight and green area, Hacegan Sofrası would enable you to get away from the stressful life of big city. The East corner, called “Şark Köşesi” in Turkish, that consists of many wood floor-tables warms your heart around a small fountain. Also on the cushions with a slow ottoman music, it provides you to feel the past of ottoman culture. In addition, in large halls which have air-conditions you can share your special days such as wedding, circumcision with your beloveds with hacegan dining taste.
