Uwawi - Izmir

During my Izmir days I have been here twice because the breakfast was so yummy. A little bit more on the pricey side compared to your normal toast or commercial big places of course but definitely worth it. My friend and I enjoyed the sour dough bread with eggs, avocado, salmon etc. a lot. (Around 180 TL in May 2023 a lot. So much that we took exactly the same each again two days later. : Coffee espresso variations is also really good and so are their freshly made fruit juices. (A small one about 40 TL Service was also really friendly and attentive. I hope I can go again one day soon.

Quite expensive, but excellent. I missed European kind of breakfasts a lot during my 2-months stay in Izmir. This restaurant is literally the one and only in town that serves salmon-avocado toasts. They are perfect, as well as salad. French toast could be better though. First of all, “French toast” is more like a brioche kind of thing, not banana bread kind of thing. Uwawi version is too cake-ish. Secondly, I’d suggest to add more bananas on top to compensate the dryness of cake. Also, I think it would be very nice to have big glass bottles with lemon water on tables. Just as a nice treat for customers.

Excellent brunch the No. 1 (poached eggs, avocado,mushrooms, peppers on sourdough) was incredible. Really tasty cappuccino as well. Friendly service and comfortable vibe. I’m so happy all of the Google reviews helped me find this place! Highly recommend!

Probably the best place in Izmir so far! Delicious food (try any bagel sandwich or beef stew with aubergine purée — it’s awesome), nice interior, nice music. It’s calm and relaxing here and surprisingly not many guests on Saturday. Highly recommended!

The best food in izmir. Everything has a special taste. I love the creativity of this place. I have been here a year ago for the first time. And I kept thinking about the food. That is something rare to me.
