Gozleme Turkish Cafe

If you had started reading on of my first posts on food, it was about gozleme and how much I love it. I am a big fan of these savoury thin crisp and juicy inside pancakes(?) ever since I had my hands on them at a local farmers market stall. So when I got ditched by my friend for a lunch date I decided I will just check out this store which is next to, or in Queen Victoria Market.

I walked in not expecting anything as I had done no previous research, but just attracted to the word ‘gozleme’. It is actually the name of the cafe, Gozleme Turkish Cafe, located on 115-121 Victoria street right at the edge of Queen Victoria Market.

It can be entered from either side of the shop, via Victoria street or from the markets. It is near the fruit and vegies stalls and hence I did my shopping and decided to rest my tired arms and legs whilst enjoying a gozleme.

Mushroom, spinach and feta gozleme and latte

So, to be honest I was very disappointed with the gozleme as the fillings were barely there, and I guess I’ve been spoilt with having awesome gozleme until now. However, the coffee was surprisingly good. The milk was frothed nice and smooth and had a hint of sweetness. The coffee flavour was not intense but smooth and rich. Not my usual favourite, but definitely a nice break in between market shopping.

The other people seemed to be ordering more on the meat side, so maybe I should try that next time. Apparently the Lamb, feta and spinach gozleme is good…

Gozleme @ Koy

I am blessed that I live so close to the market. Being a melbournian I love going to the south Melbourne market. It’s not too crowded and not too uptown snobby and not too hippy. It is, as you’d say, ‘just right‘.
One of the reasons I love going there is because of the Turkish restaurant called “Koy“. I love the gozleme they make on the side street in front of the restaurant. The ladies who always somehow seem to be yelling, half forcing you to buy one when your mind has already been set to eat one of these… freshly(sometimes reheated) made on the hot pan and cut and served with some feta dip. Spinach and cheese is wonderful and so is the mushroom with vegetables. Haven’t tried the meat ones which just means I’ll have to go again.
I don’t know what they put in them but every time I eat it I feel so full and happy. Maybe I should try some of the restaurant’s dishes too…. But there is so much food to try at the market!!
