Fevzi Hoca Balık-Köfte
There are no menus in this chain fish restaurant. Just choose a büyük (big) or küçük (small) beastie and it comes in a meal deal with salad, pickles and dessert. The hushed ambience makes it resemble somewhere you'd go with your parents for a birthday dinner. Köfte meals are also available, but the dry baklava isn't recommended. It's on the 1st floor of a shopping arcade.

Bordo Mavi
This cosmopolitan garden-cafe adjoins Trabzonspor's clubhouse, and the waiters wear the team strip. You can pick up your own maroon-and-blue top at the merchandise shop nearby. Pizzas, pastas and sandwiches are on the menu alongside breakfast and Turkish meals. A good range of drinks is available, including spirits and wine by the glass, but the female-dominated clientele are far from boozy football fans.
