When you have limited time
Check the route and service hours first. If you need to leave for a timed visit, tell the restaurant before ordering and allow time to pay. A short menu stop and a leisurely meal need different plans.
Looking for breakfast?
A shared Turkish breakfast, a plated breakfast and a buffet are different options. Ask what is included, how many people the price covers and when breakfast service ends.
