Metro Turi̇zm Seli̇mpaşa Di̇nlenme Tesi̇sleri̇ Çakalli Menemenci̇si̇, Highway restaurant in Silivri, Turkey.
Metro Turizm Selimpasa Dinlenme Tesisleri Cakalli Memenencisi is a roadside restaurant along the Istanbul-Tekirdag highway in Silivri, Turkey. It offers indoor and outdoor seating, restroom facilities, and a small market for travelers passing through.
The stop grew out of Metro Petrol's expansion along the Kinali-Sakarya corridor and became a regular halt for long-distance travelers. Over time the site grew larger and took on more facilities to serve drivers on this busy route.
The restaurant is known for its menemen, a Turkish dish of eggs cooked with tomatoes and peppers in a pan. This version is considered a regional specialty, and many travelers stop here specifically to try it.
The restaurant sits directly on the highway and is easy to spot from the road, with parking available for cars and trucks. A short stop here is enough time for a full meal before continuing the journey.
The word menenenci in the name means menemen-maker, which signals that a single dish is the center of this stop's identity. It is rare for a highway rest stop to build its entire reputation around one specific preparation.
