Start in Alsancak with pastry, move towards a small-skewer lunch, then finish with semolina cake near Kemeraltı. Leave time between breakfast and lunch, and use the waterfront transport options if you do not want the longer first leg. A small order at each stop is plenty to begin. Dishes below are suggested orders. Check current menus and hours.
Follow the suggested order, at your own pace.

Alsancak, Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi, Konak, İzmir
A note from Nico Reyes
At Alsancak Dostlar Fırını, plain boyoz makes a good first choice before the filled versions distract you. Ask about an oven-cooked egg if you want a fuller breakfast. Keep a napkin ready and let the pastry shed a few flakes.
Try the pastry without a filling first. An egg can make it breakfast, but another pastry is not automatically required.
Vali Kazım Dirik Cd 3/B
A note from Nico Reyes
At Topçu, ask how many çöp şiş skewers make up the current portion. Order a manageable amount, with whatever accompaniment suits you, and leave room for the cake stop. Small pieces of grilled meat still add up to a proper lunch.
Notice the browned edges and softer middle of a small piece. Confirm the meat and portion before ordering.
Konak Mah., 901. Sokak 13/A, Kemeraltı, İzmir
A note from Nico Reyes
Finish at Hisarönü Şambalicisi with a modest piece of şambali. Choose plain if you want the semolina texture to lead, or ask about kaymak if you are sharing something richer. A small parcel can also be the snack you keep for later.
The cake has more grain and bite than sponge. Compare a browned edge with the syrupy centre before adding cream.
Places change. Check current hours before a special detour.
