Kırçiçeği Alsancak

About Kırçiçeği Alsancak

Kırçiçeği Alsancak is the Alsancak branch of Kırçiçeği, an İzmir restaurant group best known for pide, on 1443 Sokak at Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi. The company management office is also on Kıbrıs Şehitleri Caddesi in Alsancak. According to the company, the story begins with its founders Kemal İpbaş and Osman İpbaş, who were born and raised in Karacasu in Aydın province, the district that is home to the ancient city of Aphrodisias. In 1985 they opened a small three-table shop in Bornova, and Kırçiçeği went on to become, in its own words, the first stop that comes to mind when people in İzmir think of pide. The company says it brings the flavours of Karacasu to the table and now runs ten branches and its own meat processing plant, together with a butcher shop in Göztepe. The Alsancak branch keeps the longest hours of the group, opening at 10:00 and serving until 05:30. Other İzmir branches are in Göztepe, Gaziemir, Güzelbahçe, Manavkuyu, Mavişehir, Narlıdere and Ilıca in Çeşme.
