Where the Simplicity of Izmir Kumru Meets the Elegance of Belgian Croissant
A Fusion of Authenticity and Craftsmanship
Description: More than a sandwich, Kumru-vasan is a heartfelt dialogue between two vibrant cultures. We start with the flaky, buttery layers of a premier Belgian croissant, baked to a golden crisp. Its heart, however, belongs to İzmir: the legendary authentic tulum cheese, fresh tomato slices, and a whole green pepper. This unique creation honors tradition while embracing modern tastes. In line with our inclusive vision, we invite you to personalize your journey by opting for a delicate layer of artisanal Jambon d'Ardenne, celebrating the diversity of choice in a spirit of mutual respect and openness.
Key Note: Flaky Belgian Croissant & Traditional İzmir Tulum Cheese. Optional: Artisanal Jambon d'Ardenne.
A Journey Back to the Heart of Home
Description: More than a pastry, "Souvenirs d'Enfance" is a nostalgic embrace. We begin with the authentic, incredibly flaky layers of a traditional İzmir Boyoz, a puff pastry baked to golden perfection. Its heart, however, beats with the beloved flavor of Belgium: a rich, melt-in-the-mouth center of molten Speculoos cream, subtly caramelized and kissed with warm cinnamon. This unique synthesis evokes the cherished warmth of a mother’s kitchen, inviting even the most discerning palate to rediscover the pure joy of childhood memories.
Key Note: Flaky traditional Boyoz & Molten Belgian Speculoos cream.
The Harmony of Sun and Cream
Description: Experience the ultimate fusion of East and West. Our signature buttery Sable biscuit is infused with fresh Aegean lemon zest, offering a crisp, citrusy awakening. At its heart lies a silky layer of premium Belgian white chocolate ganache, creating a perfect balance of zesty freshness and velvet sweetness. A true tribute to the sunny coasts of İzmir and the master chocolatiers of Belgium.
Key Note: Fresh lemon zest & Premium Belgian white chocolate.
The Meeting of Classics
Description: A legendary encounter between two worlds. The authentic, golden layers of traditional İzmir Boyoz meet the rich, velvety soul of premium Belgian chocolate. This is where the crispy heritage of the Aegean meets the world-renowned mastery of Belgian chocolatiers. Perfectly paired with a foamy Turkish coffee, it offers a moment of pure nostalgia and refined taste.
Key Note: Traditional İzmir Boyoz & Premium Belgian Chocolate.
Artichoke & Andalouse Sauce Mousse Tartlet
Where Urla’s Heritage Meets Belgian Character
The Peak of Mediterranean Sophistication
Description: A true masterpiece of culinary fusion. We take the world-renowned, protected "Sakız" artichokes from Urla’s fertile lands and transform them into a silky, pastel-green mousse. This delicate heart is nestled within a crisp, golden tartlet shell and crowned with a sophisticated touch of Belgian Andalouse sauce. Finished with a drop of premium Aegean olive oil and a sprig of fresh thyme, it offers a refined journey between the sun-drenched coasts of Izmir and the bold flavors of Belgium.
Key Note: Geographic Signified Urla Artichoke & Creamy Belgian Andalouse Mousse.
A Golden Bond Between Two Rich Soils.
The Ultimate Comfort of Two Traditions
Description: A rustic masterpiece that celebrates the golden treasures of two lands. We start with the world-famous, sun-colored potatoes from the fertile soils of Ödemiş, sliced to mandolin perfection. These layers are slow-baked in a rich cream infused with the bold, UNESCO-protected Herve Cheese from Belgium. The result is a melting, golden-crusted gratin that bridges the warmth of an Aegean farm with the artisanal dairy heritage of the Belgian countryside. A true "Golden Connection" served in a stone-baked tradition.
Key Note: Mandolin-sliced Ödemiş Potatoes & Heritage Belgian Herve Cheese.
