Turca Breakfast House
Thanks to the passion of owners Erkan and Selman Can, Turca Breakfast House offers Calgarians an authentic taste of Turkish culture. The brothers wanted to share Turkey’s vibrant breakfast tradition while combining the flavours of Europe and Asia in a unique and healthy way. Named after the first letters of Turkey and Canada, Turca Breakfast House showcases a menu full of delicious, hearty dishes that aren’t heavy but are still satisfying and comforting. Erkan’s wife, Zeynep Can, plays a big part in the menu, preparing favourites like börek, gözleme and simit, along with lentil balls, grape leaves and a variety of pies and cakes. During our visit to the Mt. Pleasant location on a very busy Saturday afternoon, we tucked into popular items like gözleme, a savoury pastry filled with cheese or ground beef, and simit, a sesame-crusted bread. We couldn’t resist the Simit Platter and fell hard for the honey cake, made by Zeynep, served with Turkish tea and coffee. With a vision to bring Turkish breakfast to the forefront of Canadian dining, Turca Breakfast House is all about offering locals a new way to start their day with simple, flavourful, wholesome dishes.
