Mediterranean brunch & Turkish breakfast dishes with wine
"Located in the Richmond, this Turkish spot feels like a homey den with brick walls and window sills that are filled with a hodgepodge of found glass, bird feeders, and plants in mismatched pots. The menu is short, but it doesn’t matter because there’s one correct order here: the two-person Turkish breakfast spread of creamy scrambled eggs with chewy sujuk, pita, feta, olives, nutty muhammara, sweet hazelnut spread, fresh fruit, and kaymak with honey." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
"TV has Cheers reruns and the Richmond has Lokma. The Turkish spot is the destination for meet-ups and long meals. The den-like space with brick walls and window sills full of found glass, bird feeders, and plants in mismatched pots has a lot to do with it. Adding to the charm is a long list of mostly Mediterranean wines, and a stay-awhile-friendly service. We like dropping in for a glass, offloading our thoughts to a friend, and filling up on tomato-heavy manti, hearty karniyarik, and calamari—or coming by on a Sunday for their fantastic brunch." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez
"Lokma is a Turkish spot in the Richmond that shines during brunch. Reservations are for dinner only, so swing by and put your name on the waitlist for your turn at dessert-like hazelnut dips, greek yogurt pancake stacks, and the main event: the traditional Turkish breakfast. It includes scrambled eggs with crispy sujuk, what seems like a pound of sliced pita, and an assortment of ramekins filled with clotted cream and honey, marinated olives, and thick muhammara. Washing it all down with an extra strong turkish coffee is always a good idea." - ricky rodriguez, patrick wong, julia chen 1
"This Turkish restaurant in the Richmond excels in the sweet dips department, so get here for brunch when the hazelnut spread and kaymak with honey are on every table. They don’t skimp on the pita, either, which is only another reason to spend a weekend morning with no plans here. When the fog’s burned off, opt to enjoy your dips out on Clement Street." - julia chen 1, patrick wong
"After you’ve made contact with your favorite runner, head to Lokma. This Turkish spot on Clement St. feels like a homey den with brick walls, a hodgepodge of plants in fun pots, and dark wooden tables—just the right setting for an excellent Turkish breakfast. The two-person spread features creamy scrambled eggs with chewy sujuk, pita, feta, olives, nutty muhammara, sweet hazelnut spread, fresh fruit, and kaymak with honey. More than enough to power you through the hard work of watching other people exercise." - julia chen 1, lani conway, ricky rodriguez, patrick wong
