A little about this place
About Pera Cafe
Pera Cafe is a small Turkish brunch café on Nassau Street, just off the main streets of Kensington Market. The menu covers Turkish breakfast platters with simit, börek and sucuk, menemen, egg croissant and smoked salmon plates, avocado toast and a Montreal-style smoked beef sandwich, with Turkish coffee and tea, lattes, cheesecakes and cookies. You order and pay at the counter, and a front patio with shaded seating opens in the warmer months.
