A
Papirüs Cafeteria
A student crowd (male and female, we promise) gathers here to take advantage of the delightfully authentic setting – it's housed in a historic mansion off Atatürk Bulvarı – and swap numbers in the leafy courtyard. Don't miss the ancient frescoes in the upstairs rooms.

Cafe Şehzade
The décor alone is worth a gander: the atmospheric Şehzade is housed in an 800-year-old converted hamam (bathhouse). The food, mostly snacks, is so-so but it's a good place to meet students and sip a cup of tea. Drop by in late afternoon, when there's live music.

C
Asmalı Konak Cafe
A soothing venue set in a converted house, on a lively pedestrianised street. Nab a table on the balcony and watch the world stroll by with a glass of ayran in hand.

Café Bülbül
Another peaceful refuge. It lures in students in search of a pleasant spot to flirt and relax over a soft drink.

Tütün Hanı
Set in the picturesque courtyard of the carefully restored Tütün Hanı, this teahouse is a great place to enjoy a cheap tea and nargileh. It has bags of character, featuring rugs, low wooden tables and cushions.

Kir Kahvesi
This cafe in an over- restored historic building at the foot of the citadel lacks the patina and atmosphere of the Papirüs, but it's still a good place to recuperate after visiting the area.

Cıncık
The grills and salads at Cıncık are perfectly fine, but we really like it for its leafy and relaxed garden bar filled with Antep folk lounging on bean bags, and kicking back with a relaxed combo of draught Efes beer and the occasional nargileh (water pipe). It's a short stroll through Atatürk Kültür Parkı from the city centre. Mind the canoodling locals after dark.

Adana Şalgamacısı – Gürbüz Usta
See the heaps of grapefruit, banana and orange on the counter at this buzzing hole-in-the-wall? They're just waiting to be squeezed. Try the delicious atom (an explosive mixture of milk, honey, banana, hazelnuts and pistachio).
