Cafe Bar
In Terminal T at GZP, Cafe Bar is one of basically two food options in the whole building, and it sits airside in departures. Think standard airport fast food: burgers, sandwiches, pizza slices, packaged snacks, and machine-pulled coffee rather than anything regional. The setup is small, with limited counter seating and a few scattered tables, so it feels full as soon as one 180-seat flight boards late.
Reviews on Yandex put “Cafe” at 16% negative sentiment, and Flightradar24 has people calling the airport “very small… no duty free, no cafes, etc.” That gives you the mood: this is here to plug a gap, not to be memorable. Expect basic espresso drinks, soft drinks, and bottled water priced above town rates, plus reheated items that have clearly sat in a display case for a while. Service speed varies a lot depending on how many flights are on the board.
Travel guides mention only “a restaurant and café in the terminal,” and that lines up with what you actually see once you clear security in T. Food is generic: simple cheese or salami sandwiches, small pizzas cut into 6–8 slices, and burger patties closer to fast-food size than restaurant size. Portion-to-price value often draws complaints, and it’s common to see people sharing one snack just to have something with a coffee before a 3–4 hour flight.
Watch out for lukewarm food and bill shock; several reviewers point to disappointing quality relative to the check. If you care about taste or budget, eat properly in Alanya or Gazipaşa town, then treat Cafe Bar as a last-resort stop for a bottle of water or a quick espresso before you line up at your gate. Practical move: bring a filled reusable bottle from landside (after using the taps) and a packaged snack from town so you only rely on Cafe Bar if your flight gets delayed.
