Köşe

Arjantin Caddesi No. 1
Cafe
(312) 467 38

I believe Ankara lives this tradition not in Arjantin but in Cafes Street. Cafe Köşe is decorated with gloomy lights, candles and wooden furniture; with this property here becomes an ideal for a romantic dinner. However, the level of light must be increased because it shall be difficult for the guests to see what they eat. On the other hand, for the days after a long and tired shopping at summers at its garden, at winters at its veranda, it is a good place to drink cafes peacefully.

Because of this, the speeches between the guests make the atmosphere warmer. The only reason makes the meals more delicious is not to change their Gaziantep service style.
