Boyoz
Recommended by Lonely Planet and 10 other food critics.
"This is the best spot in the city to try the local speciality of boyoz, a fried pastry made with flour, sunflower oil and a small amount of tahini. Traditionally a Sephardic Jewish snack, it is enjoyed with hard-boiled eggs and a glass of sübye (drink made from melon seeds and sugar water)."

"The best and the most famous boyoz is made in Alsancak Dostlar Fırını, a small but always busy shop, which specializes in boyoz."

"For breakfast, check out Alsancak Boyoz Fırın, a local favorite where Izmir’s famous boyoz pastry (which you won’t easily find anywhere else) is served with a boiled egg."

"I recommend trying original Boyoz in Dostlar Fırını (Dostlar Bakery) because they serve the best Boyoz since 1957."

"The thin dough is very crunchy, yet moist inside and you hardly feel you are eating a greasy dough, but biting into thin air, that flaky! A mouthful of happiness, savoring every bite and ordering another one."
on Boyoz
"Boyoz, a pastry with thin layers of dough kneaded multiple times with a touch of tahini, is the way to start the day. Try this specialty of İzmir at Dostlar Fırını."
on Boyoz
"There are currently 18 different types of boyoz on the menu, although some are only available seasonally. Other than the plain boyoz, the most popular flavors are chocolate and tahini. In the last three years, two more branches of Alsancak Dostlar Fırını have been established, and while it may expand further within Izmir, there are no current plans to open elsewhere in Turkey. So you’ll just have to go to Izmir to experience the deliciousness!"

"One of the first places that comes to mind when it comes to Boyoz in Izmir, Alsancak Dostlar Fırın was founded in 1983 by Mustafa Akar. Alsancak Dostlar Fırını continues to be the first and only address that can make the traditional boyoz."

"Do you think it's okay to eat the same thing every morning? The Alsancak Dostlar Bakery has a solution for this. More precisely there is more than one solution. If you're tired of eating plain boyoz, this bakery offers you dozens of varieties. From chocolate to lentils, from olive to dill, you can try a lot of types here. Moreover, this place is not more expensive than other bakeries in Izmir."

"The only place to try boyoz. My favorites are spinach-cheese, and tahini ones."
"Best in the city"
"Crispy tasty boyoz!"
"Best boyoz in the city. They always make new batches from the dawn till 4pm every day so you can always buy them fresh and hot. They are very crispy and delicious. The place exlusively serves boyoz, baked hard "boiled" eggs and turkish tea, nothing else."
"It’s amazing place with fresh boyoz and they have many different flavors"
