Start the day with a Mediterranean spread from this Atlanta restaurant
When Cafe Agora’s Peachtree Place location reopened this past fall as Agora Midtown — after a yearlong renovation and expansion — the upscale newness brought more than gorgeous decor from Turkey; there’s also a new brunch in town. And the Turkish breakfast there is as much an experience as it is a meal.
The large platter includes a range of foods that is perfect for pairing dishes and communal dining. There are dips and sauces, a mixture of olives, cucumber tomato salad, honeycomb, as well as homemade Turkish breads and jams. You can try each with one of the many cheeses: tangy Bulgarian feta; grilled, stretchy halloumi; and fresh cokelek, which is like cottage cheese.
Each breakfast comes with a choice of an egg dish as well. Go for the menemen. Similar to shakshuka, the fluffy scrambled eggs are cooked delicately with a base of tomatoes and green peppers in olive oil. The dish is seasoned with paprika and mixed with melted kasseri cheese.
